Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[WilliamG]

I hope we can ban April 1 from the calendar. March 30, March 31, April 2, April 3. It makes too much darn sense. I mean, sure, April 1 shenanigans are uniquely American, so the rest of the world can enjoy April 1 while we move ahead to April 2 here. Yes, yes, the calendars will be off between America and the rest of the world, but then again America does its own thing anyway.

And color is all wrong especially on the non highlighted MSP.

Just a little jolt to help out the caffeine for folks this morning

You got me good, but it could've been worse - like a nice photochop job of ambient lighting and front bumper camera.

It's not too late. There are other threads!!!!!

I don't know why I didn't notice this when I test drove a refresh S with a steering wheel last year, but I haven't been able to find a comfortable seating position where I can see the speed limit sign at all. I didn't think this was going to be a big issue, since I am exactly average height (5' 9"). But, wow, it's annoying. I should have gotten the yoke again.

Yoke...FTW!

I think it's more of a Yoke FTL, and steering wheel on refresh S FTL.

Oh no. Nooooo. Not turning this into a yoke vs wheel discussion. BACK TO HINGES!

yoke is awful. Glad to have the regular wheel again

Yes, but you have to live without one-pedal driving. I'd rather have a yoke and one-pedal driving, than a steering wheel and no one pedal.

One pedal driving is way overrated IMO. Don’t miss it at all

Anyone have a noteworthy EOQ delivery?

 

[dohmer]

I sit with my seat the lowest level and can’t see everything at all unless I really slouch in the seat - not comfortable. And the seating position feels much higher than in the 3. It definitely is in relation to the windshield as I see much more in the Model 3 than the S.

I'm in the same boat. Just got my car two days ago. I find that moving the steering wheel outward and move my seat back helps to see the speed limit without slouching. I'm 5'9 (or 5'10 on a good day)

I got a notification that my car could be scheduled to pick up stating 3 April 2024. When I logged into the app to schedule the 3rd was wide open. I selected late in the afternoon due to work conflicts. Unfortunately it is supposed to be pouring rain on Wednesday. at this point I am worn out. Just want and need a dam car.

Understand. Rest up and save energy for an inspection.

Same here. Got notice today that pickup could be scheduled, and only had TWO choices for the entire month of April - Tuesday or Wednesday. Torrential rain is on the forecast here as well, so I feel your pain. I'll post pics of mine on Wednesday evening.

Well, we can agree to disagree. It makes the drive transformative.

What? I have a wheel and one pedal driving.

Yes, but you're not speaking from the perspective of an ex-Tesla owner. Apparently, Porsche owners like to hang out here (for reasons beyond me!).

 

[aerodyne]

Finally fixed the last delivery disorder I had with my car. I've decided to stick with this one and not lust after the cameras or other future features, at least until next year.

Suggest do as shown in the vid below sooner that later. You will feel much better afterwards!

 

[SucreTease]

That's okay. You can pick up the cameras when they add the steer-by-wire with variable rate steering on the new Model S redesign (come on, now: they've had the same body design for the 13th year running).

i got to know all of you. Why do you care I don't have a Tesla? I had 2 Plaids before. I'm a car enthusiast just like all of you. Sorry I don't agree with you and your viewpoints. Must be hard for you

 

[empiredown]

What's hard is wading through all the unwarranted/unrequested opinions, egos, inflated heights/statures (seriously, the average U.S. male height is 5'9"; how in the world do so many of you break that ceiling and insist on talking about it? Oh, yeah, never mind. It's the internet), and senses of entitlement in this DELIVERY FRICKEN THREAD...

Honestly, don't most of you guys have better things to do with your time, like, I don't know, bilk little old ladies out of a good portion of their lifesavings for unnecessary medical procedures or shoddy investments so you can afford another toy?

Please... let's keep this about delivery updates/timelines/intel and not chunk measuring/virtue signaling/millimeter differences in panel gaps side to side back to front up and down/PPF costs in a whole other GD state, let alone city/garage porn/how you absolutelypositvely MUST wash your car or you're a complete loser/why my one foot is better than your two feet (or vice versa) and GD hinges!
