Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[terranx]

Before I sold my 2016 MS, I took it in to have them resolve an issue with MCU2 and they gave me a 2023 MSLR with FSD. I had the car for about 24 hours. FSD was disabled before the car made it back lol. For all of you that are thinking of spending $12,000 on FSD, please please PLEASE go and do a demo drive of a newer MS and experience it for yourself. It does NOT gel with my driving style

or at least just try the subscription for a month if your car doesn’t come with the 3 month trial. $12k for such a pitiful experience is crazy.

Even the auto lane change (which is available with plain EAP) doesn’t work well at night. So any temptation I had is now obliterated since a very large portion of my driving is during the nighttime hours.

My 2016 MS with AP1, while it only did signal based lane changes, did it so much smoother and cleaner than EAP. I'm really hoping EAP improves.

I wouldn’t count on any real improvements as long as Tesla is on its vision only obsession.

Honestly if they just let basic autopilot automatically resume after changing lanes manually, that would improve the experience so much.

I fully agree, and self park and dumb summon would be nice too. However if they did that, few would see the need to pay for EAP or Beta (not gonna say FSD anymore)

Sounds like somebody has a recurrence of EDD

Endless Delivery Disorder.

Sadly, once infected, highly contagious, spread through the forums.

Only one cure...

I didn't have that experience owning a '21 Plaid with FSD for two years. I got one warning during that time.

I also think FSD is better than AP and EAP. I think EAP is still built on the old code, so when FSD does highway lane changes, it does a better job. I don't think it's $12k better, though.

Can you share your sequence number from the VIN? Are we at 572xxx or so now? And your build date, if you can get it.

We know the local employees arent always well informed. So, when they told me on December 2nd that Tesla wasn't making any more Model S in December that led me to think that I would be looking at a 2024 delivery. If krammar81 has a build date of December I think that would be the first confirmation that the local advisor was incorrect.

I believe I read several months ago that the AP and FSD code had now been merged. I did a month-long FSD test in October (11.4.7) and noticed no underlying operational difference between the two on highways or two-lane, other than the wheel & gaze nags are significantly higher with FSD. I'm expecting the "recall" software update announced yesterday will be the implementation of the FSD nanny approach on basic AP, including FSD's strike/two-week lockout penalty. That's what it is sounding like, anyway.

Could be. I haven't driven an AP car since about July. I think once they are running the same code, there is very little reason to pay for FSD. The improved highway performance of FSD was all I really appreciated.

Hi it is 530xxx and the delivery advisor said my built date is 12/2023

Thank you! Has anyone seen any numbers higher than 530xxx?

Thanks krammar81, it looks like you have the first confirmation of December production.

Also, you can ask for the specific build date, beyond just the month. Mine was able to specify the day as well, although not sure whether that means the start or the end. Or maybe they build the whole car in one day?

It is 12/13/23. I guess that will be the birthday of my car!

But not sure if that is accurate, as they plan to deliver by 12/16, thats too fast from the built date

Not sure how accurate this is to current timelines, but my previous M3P was built on 12/10/19, and I picked it up in Salt Lake City, UT two days later. It's certainly possible.

Just got a text from Tesla saying my delivery tomorrow was canceled due to a required firmware update with no delivery ETA. They will update me on 12/19 with a new ETA

Wow! Five days just to get another ETA?!
