Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[calm-one]

Did anyone with a plaid order get the below email?:

Thank you for your Model S order (RNxxxxxxxx) placed on November xx, 2023. We are contacting you to let you know that we do not build the configuration you originally selected. To move forward with your order, please reconfigure your Model S at your earliest convenience.

We received updated EPA range estimates for Model S Plaid that are slightly lower than when you placed your order. This update is a result of several comfort and functionality improvements we’ve made across our vehicles, which require more energy from the battery pack. The EPA also updated their range testing guidance to ensure sticker estimates for all manufacturers more closely reflect real-world range, impacting previous range estimates for all manufacturers, not just Tesla.

To update your design, please sign in to your Tesla Account and select ‘Update Design’ by January xx, 2024.

If we do not hear from you by January xx, 2024, we will assume that you no longer wish to purchase a vehicle. We will automatically cancel your order and refund your order fee.

Thank you for supporting the world’s transition to sustainable energy.

I have not even though the email makes sense. Instead, I just received a "schedule" message via app messaging this morning.

I am speculating the reason being you are getting a 24 whereas I am getting a 23 based on assigned VIN.

Interesting that the email about the Model S configuration basically requires you to place the order all over again the same as when you built the car initially to place your order. I wonder if the timeliness of completing the new order changes your place in the queue.

I kept the same reservation number… and I think we all know that with Tesla it’s “queue” not queue!

If they ever added stalks, then I hope it is an option. I have no desire to go back to stalks and love the Model S without stalks. So clean looking and so easy to use, that I don’t even think about it.

After 18 months, I grew to tolerate it but never it was better.

Yes I got the same email. I essentially had to "re-order." What was interesting was that the white interior was no longer an option (I think it was an option when I initially ordered?).

Location: Winnipeg, Canada
Order date: Oct 22/2023
New updated EDD: Jan 27-March 9
Details: MSP, 19 inch, Round wheel, Black interior, no autopilot

Yep, I ordered around then as well, and recall white interior was definitely an option.

Something really suspicious.
It makes no sense for plaid to remove the white interior when the MS LR still has it. Something isn't lining up because that's not the way Tesla will do things. If interior are identical, they will be offered.

MS LR 21" gained EPA range, so at least the MS LR in general was re-evaluated for 2024. So that implies (if anything) they are making 2024 MS LR and MSP models.

But white interior being removed in MSP only?.. MSP moving to different seats?

I just took the 2 week hold, will see if I get a 2024 vin by then

That is the email you get if you are going to get a 2024 VIN. (Assuming you accept the changes.)

Yep.

Yep. I just got the same email.

I got the email and I went ahead and accepted the changes. Before accepting the changes my estimated delivery date was today through January 26th. During the "acceptance" process they stated that delivery would be Jan - Feb 2024. However, after completing the "updated design" my delivery date immediately changed to February 1 through March 14.

If anyone else has accepted the updated design please post what happens to your dates.

Can I ask what that January xx, 2024 is?
I'm wondering if everybody got yhe same Target date.

Thanks

I completed my acceptance of the changes within 90 minutes of the email coming out and even though my order number from December 2nd stayed the same my estimated delivery is now February 1st through March 14. Mine moved significantly back just from accepting the update.

To make matters worse the time quoted for a brand new Plaid order says January through February ... So, will I get my order sooner if I place a new order /s

White interior is still an option on the plaid on tesla.com. I didn't notice it being gone when I updated mine because I wanted black. I have kids. Although, sunscreen stains on the black seats are rough!

The date in my email said January 10th.

Was that the same date for you? If so, in theory people could move up in line if there are a significant number of people that don't pay attention or choose not to accept the changes.

It has to be the new seats. In the leak, they were black so maybe they haven't created or won't create white versions.

“It has to be” is a bold assumption I would not bet on. MSP can still be ordered with white seats on the website so no assumption here can be validated.

The white interior in the Plaid is not identical to the LR.

I updated my order with white interior for my MSP. It’s still an option. Would be cool if we had sport seats.

 

[flyingfish28]

I just checked lead times for a Model S delivered to Europe. For some reason, Long Range is Feb-March, whereas Plaid is now April-May.
US deliveries are Jan-Feb in both cases.
Wondering what can explain this difference.

 

[iHateWaiting]

Seemingly random question - do most people here prefer the yoke or the wheel?

I just checked as well and both white and cream were an option for plaid on the order update page. Jason Beiko, can you check your configuration again? Maybe it was a glitch in the system or maybe you caught them between updates. It seems like these last couple updates to their website have been a rush job.
