Refreshed “2021” Model S waiting room

[elguapo]

Actually, worst case is we don't even see the car. Ever.

My first words to the SA when I picked up my X in March 2016 were “Holy sh-t, it’s not a unicorn!”

Sorry, that was off topic, but this is a waiting room. I’d far prefer to be ON topic, but there’s not much to say...

BTW - Tesla has taken away 10-14 Weeks on the config page (again). Someone over there probably laughs each time they do that.

I still see it there. Maybe you have a phantom page haha

It’s back. I promise it was gone before. I am telling you, someone at Tesla just adds and deletes it at random to see how fast we react. Pavlov-like experiment.

It changes sometimes as well. For a few hours this past weekend, it said 3-8 weeks but later that day, it was back to 10-14 weeks.

I talked about this hunch once before. I have to imagine that the estimated delivery dates are posted based on a computer algorithm. The input would be production, orders, maybe parts on hand and who knows whatever else.
Most of the data would be used for reordering, estimating production time production costs, available transport resources, . . .
If true the issue would be there is no new data for the refreshed models. Last hunch is that occasionally a run is made, that’s combined with old data and out comes garbage estimates.
Again, this is a hunch.

I think you’re giving Tesla way too much credit for how much “thought” goes into the estimates, but we will never know.

 

[dlfjed]

Oh no. I think someone developed the program and never looked at it again.

now that the tells forum is closed ill be waiting here.

I am about to place an order for an S LR and join the waiting game with you all. Before I place my order, I just want to confirm there is no Yoke option that I have to select on the website to choose that option for my build sheet. I have seen the Yoke listed on some order forms on this site, but see no where to select it on their website. I presume its the default option but figured I would ask to be safe and not sorry.

Appreciate the feedback.

All this is part of their FSO (Full Self Ordering) software package.

@smith1234 When I ordered my LR in early Feb, there was no Yoke option and it still shows Yoke Steering on my Design Details page.

Thanks Bill!

This is my first foray into the Tesla world, and the refresh is what made me pull the trigger on it vs. buying a used Performance Model. My order says Yoke, so you bet your battery loving butts I expect a yoke when it finally shows up....which hopefully occurs before the Zombie Apocalypse of 2025.

Just got an email from Tesla - in order to avoid double posting, here is a link Wiki - Model S Delivery Update

 

[Atomadam]

Yoke was on mine as well.

Order just placed for LR, white exterior, black interior, arachnids. Now the waiting game begins.

It’s a nice color combo with black trim and satin black arachnids. It will look similar to my car below without the tint.

Mine still says delivery in March. Same for all?
