I was considering replacing my '21 MSP with either a new one or perhaps a new M3P for almost half the cost, and was just waiting to hear about experiences from people who take delivery of the M3P (because, somewhat annoyingly, you can't test drive new Tesla releases...) but especially with the news of the supercharger department being essentially eliminated, I'm now a bit wary.

I'm not in the market, still love my Yoked 2022 USS MSLR. What would be a reason to change an order.
Why? The SC network is match by absolutely none. So what other EV make of vehicle is better now because of their charging g network,
none.It will degrade. It’s fine for now, but what about a few years from now? The supercharging network was basically *the* reason to buy these cars over the competitionWhy? The SC network is match by absolutely none. So what other EV make of vehicle is better now because of their charging g network,
Because of this reason, most other EV manufacturers have decided that NACS is the way to go, which is great except that with 28 manufacturers confirmed adding NACS ports to their vehicles within the next year or so, the existing SC sites are going to see a dramatic increase in demand, and with it taking around a year or more to open (or expand) each SC site currently, there is absolutely no time to waste in growing the SC footprint before it is no longer a benefit, but a detriment. If Tesla is back-burnering the SC network, then some other NACS provider will need to step up.Why? The SC network is match by absolutely none. So what other EV make of vehicle is better now because of their charging g network,

Lot of, per norm, negative assumptions in this thread. Do we definitively know the entire SC line was fired? Do we know it was for reasons that would actually be detrimental to the existing or future SC network? No… but this place always seems to find a way to go to the worst possibilities.
p.s. It’s a delivery update thread, people. Plenty of other spots on this site for posts like the above…

And? Other than giving you and your homies fodder for negativity, this has what to do with delivery updates???
Every? I’d say about as many that were reporting on Bumper Cameras and Ambient Lighting as well…
Confirmed by the Strategic Charging Programs Lead at Tesla:
It’s relevant because if supercharging is a reason you bought this car over another, you should get out while you can. I’m stuck. Others aren’t.
This report is far more credible than the cameras or lights. It’s being reported by actual mainstream outlets and multiple fired employees have corroborated the leaked email. The team is gone.
Musk stated that they are looking to slow down the expansion of new charging locations within the SC network and focus on expanding and updating their current infrastructure. Every major car manufacturer in the US has opted to switch to the NACS, which means the NACS network should slowly expand outside of Tesla's network. Other car manufactures and companies who want to make money off of EV's will start installing NACS in the coming years as well. I believe BP has already stated they are investing millions into buying Tesla SC's and putting their branding on them.
It's very relevant because while i wait for my car, i need to have something to discuss about.

Chaos? That’s a bit of an over statement no?
The company is going through a rough patch, just like literally every other auto maker right now.
The media and some of you are acting like this is a permanent thing, more likely than not this is temporary, they laid off the staff in the department they’re cutting back spending in. Doesn’t mean they won’t rehire the staff when things pick back up.
They’ve lost more execs in the last month than the entirety of their existence and have eliminated their supercharging and new products teams. That is not comparable to what’s going on with the rest of the industry.
Not a lot of delivery talk right now.
I have mine scheduled for Sat morning. Will report back after I have the car in my driveway.

Three years ago, this thread was effectively the "Model S orders waiting room", with people doing exactly this. Everyone would come here to share the latest information pertaining to the Model S they had ordered and were waiting on or were seriously considering ordering. I've come back to this thread as I'm considering my 6th Tesla... Just like then, there's a mix of people in there who don't want any information on the new Model S, they just want order dates and delivery dates, and everything else is noise to them.
