CAD 2500 ($2000 US) if you ordered earlier. Peanuts compared to car price sure, but I do expect some kind of customer service when you are holding my money. The only reason I can see for radio silence on this issue is because it would affect the share price.

Speculation on the reason for the refresh delay

People tend to make up all sorts of reasons for delays.
It could simply be that Tesla has some late breaking features they want to include with the refresh and that it is not yet ready.
Maybe some charging or battery technology, or things that could increase range and performance.

did you intend for irony here?
Or maybe Technoking is just incompetent when it comes to execution
Maybe they were waiting for this approval to come through and it took longer than expected: Tesla safety tech takes giant step with FCC approval for wave sensor - eTransport News

Tesla is known for its constant vehicle improvement and introduction of new tech, why would they delay production for a feature they can add later when it’s ready.
It's very possible that Musk truly believes it is possible to hit the aggressive schedules he publicizes.
Those announcements may partly be intended to keep pressure on the Tesla staff - though over time, the effectiveness of that strategy diminishes to the point where the staff is likely now ignoring him when he announces aggressive (and overly optimistic) schedules.
While Tesla has a huge market valuation, compared to their large and long-established competitors, Tesla is still a "startup" - and after working with hundreds of startup companies, Musk isn't the only "startup" CEO to push their teams on aggressive schedules (and then fail to meet them...).

But Elon went further here and said in January that the refresh was "in production." That seems different than just another absurd time estimate.
The line went offline mid to late December. No cars have come off that line since. So going on almost 5 months.
in true Tesla fashion...numbers/timing/answers don’t line up, the poll percentages don’t add to 100% and, in fact, greatly exceed 100%. Bravo if the OP somehow intended/controlled that!
If they're producing them where are they? They're not in any flyover. EPA doesn't approve car designs?? Lol manufacturers mostly self certify until there's an issue

Regarding the Q1 earnings call, Elon mentioned safety of the refresh Model S battery pack a few times on the call. These comments seemed odd.
My first post here, and I know this will definitely be a minority opinion, but with a potential $10,000 federal rebate at time of sale in the federal budget for US made BEVs I don't mind the delay with the S. I ordered a Model S LR a few weeks ago, just before the proposed rebate was announced.
I have doubts the biden harris administration are going to let "rich people" get tax credits for cars at this price point given the current political environment.
For that reason I'm not holding out for anything, not to mention it's going to take a year or more to pass.
Sounds like Battery design issues was the winner from what Elon said!
Obviously letting people vote for more than one option was done intentionally, because there are likely multiple reasons for the delay.
