Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[sorka]

I gave up on the wait this weekend and cancelled my MSLR (VIN and 1 week delivery window that marched forward daily to current date since 2/6). I really needed to replace a totaled vehicle from early Jan.
But I can’t quit this thread— need to see how long Tesla drags this out with the EPA.

Why cancel now? You could still cancel later. You lose the $250 either way no matter when you cancel.

Thought I would add my communication with Tesla about the hold. So many different answers have been given. This was mine today.

Remember the Freemont dusty lot by the train tracks in 2021? They can pile a whole lot more in there.

I'm averaging 239 wh/mi, 251 including stationary since delivery.

I don't think the new LR RR will be much below 400, say 390 miles for the 19" wheels.

It's gonna drop that much in a year or two anyway due to calendar ageing. I'm at 92.6 KwH NFP out of 99.4 KwH on a good day for about 388 RM.

Did we ever figure out what happened with those? I don't recall anyone saying they were delivered a car that was half a year old. I remember while they were there gathering dust, new ones were rolling off the line and being delivered.

My guess is they went back east or overseas...

No price change, still $89k.

However, just now my configuration popped up in inventory as "In Transit" to Raleigh for full price. I wonder if they would sell it off to someone at full price before giving it to me with a discount?

So, I guess that answers the question about why there are so many cars that match people's exact order showing in inventory. Inventory cars are actually cars that customers have ordered.

The rear fenders have factory PPF. At least my 2023 Plaid did. My PPF guy seemed to be aware that it's a thing and noted that he'd remove that when doing the full body ppf

Can I ask you if the full body PPF has protected your vehicle from road rash so far? Also did you install mud guards/flaps?

I also got a full PPF (Xpel) for my MSP I got in early Jan, but I only have a couple hundred miles on it. I have not installed guards/flaps yet.

I full PPF and front mud guards. So far so good after 1,000 miles.

Thanks. As a follow-up which guards did you use?

What was your previous EDD before VIN assignment?

I’m currently at March 9-31st with no VIN yet

I ordered Jan 1, but put my order on hold. I think my order went back in the que, and is similar to an order placed 1/29/24.

So this is a MSLR? Looks like my configuration, but I ordered Dec 18 and still waiting for VIN. Guess there is no order to any of this….

No, Plaid.

I just read an article talking to the upcoming 3P and it's new "sport" seats.

Is this what got the community going about new Plaid seats?

Yes. They appeared in the model S parts catalog as well

Are there any signs of damage to the PPF, evidence that it protected the paint?

Has this happened to anyone though where a VIN was unassigned? I'd hope not, but wouldn't be surprised.

I will say that config seems to be the most popular, at least among people on this forum, so could just be an inventory Plaid they wanted in Raleigh.

Could be. It appeared at the same time, but that would make sense since they are built in batches.

My build date was Feb 20. Let's hope for a perfect car with new seats.

VINs can vanish from an order for logistical (transportation issues, etc) or technical issues(car damaged, etc).

Yeah I found them in the model S service manual about the same time as greentheonly found the UI visualizations of them for the 3. The service page was quickly taken down after my reddit post, assuming an internal page was set for external publishing
