Seems there are big changes coming with vehicles produced after October 21
- Thread starter cstromme
- Start date
Wow. I do love all of the information on these forums, and I am big fan of getting all the information you can before making such a bid decision, but I can totally see how "too much" information can be paralyzing.
Kind of like buying a new laptop - you can always wait and the next set of specs. will be better but at some point, you have to pull the trigger. (I am just a big talker, I am still looking and waiting)
This is nothing like laptops. Usually the maker you prefer comes out with something new once a year or maybe somewhat more or less frequently. Tesla makes many changes, many times during each quarter. And in a product with multi-month delivery times and a price tag of slightly more than a laptop, that makes it a completely different scenario...
Buying laptops and phones is easy.
Teslaing is the permanent and constant equivalent of Osbourning?
It truly is. Most of us get that brief moment in the sun when we're the latest and greatest... and then we're last week's meatloaf.
Seems a bit strange to have redundancy in the cables but not in the sensors? Are wiring faults that common?
I wonder if the MCU and AP ECU changes are to harmonise the solution with the M3 (one package with liquid + fan cooling).
Are you able to see if the new camera (or wiring for the camera) has been added to the rear-view mirror?
But would they *really* have a parts list 60 days out? (And, where do you get that? Or shouldn't I ask?
)I mean, I can see somewhat a future list, but not 'we are going to do this cutover on this date two months from now'.
Sure. Would also fit Elon's tweet last year of major upgrades every 12-18 months to AP... Elon would actually be early...
Of course they would. They have to design the parts, and work to get them validated, manufactured, and tested before they start putting them in cars.
I guess they do have to plan for some start date, but we'll have to see when they show up!
They do get them tested before they start putting them in cars??? Tesla? Really???
Of course they do. We just didn't know we were the testers.They do get them tested before they start putting them in cars??? Tesla? Really???
Oh man. Makes my life difficult. Ordered a 75D S but would love to get the updated MCU as that's the most outdated part. Would it be worth losing my deposit...I don't know. First world problems I guess but still money is money.
A new part number in the opening post of this thread suggests changes. It is true we don't know the extent of them.
Would be really nice to get a full list of the changes for 21 August. Traces of new control stalk for autopilot and blinkers? Those were reported some weeks ago (it was shown a picture of a new stalk in the Model X/S in-vehicle manual). The same stalks like model 3 instead of the Mercedes stalks.
Say you hold off for a December delivery and need it for tax purposes. Do you have anything that can hold Tesla accountable to meet the deadline?
Lol, Tesla doesn't care about your tax situation, if you need a car by a certain date then it's up to you to determine when to order. However, they do care about their quarterly numbers, so there is always an EOQ/EOY push to get the delivery numbers up.
