I’ve had a Tesla since 2016 and we have four in the family. I live in New York and have lived in California (with the Tesla). There is no doubt about it — cold causes the battery to drain significantly more than when it is warm, especially when the temperature gets into the low 40s and lower...
Day 91 since order in Springfield, NJ. RN 11282. AWD. Pattern lately is for lengthier waits, with order-to-VIN around 90-95 days for those in the northeast.
Well — speaking from experience after two divorces (!): In 2016 when my second divorce was final I purchased a Tesla Model S that included unlimited supercharging for life. It was a gift to myself for the stress I went through, and it was a symbol representing my taking a step forward after a...
I have had Tesla cars for eight years and do recall myself and for my family adjusting for regenerative breaking. What you eventually learn to do is to let up on the gas more slowly, and it will act like a brake for you in a mild fashion rather than abrupt, and you quickly learn to do that. In...
The allure of purchasing a premium priced Foundation Series in part was the expected early delivery, for many in a window between January and March. With that promise unmet, Tesla should consider shaving money off the premium price especially given the likelihood that production of the...
Meanwhile, in the random order of the CT delivery process many in the northeast with earlier RN numbers are still waiting (just noting — I can be patient): RN11282; ordered January 11th, Springfield, NJ delivery. Owner of 5 Teslas and solar panels (no preferential treatment and none expected).
One theory relates to image, perceptions, and sales data. It takes 5 fewer hours to travel from Austin to California than it does to New York, and 10 fewer hours relative to Florida. So, to bolster deliveries, Tesla appears to favor those states. Second, it is obviously colder in the northeast...
Day 75 for me in NJ since the order date (RN11282) for Springfield, NJ, where on Friday I picked up a Model S and they said they had not seen any Cybertrucks (also cannot fit in the showroom). An employee was going that day to pick one up in Paramus.
Today I picked up a 2024 Model S, trading in my 2016 Model S for it in Springfield, NJ. I asked Springfield whether they had delivered any Cybertrucks. They said no but that an employee was set to pick one up today in Paramus, NJ. I ordered a CT on January 11th, RN11282 (no Vin). I have...
The northeast is still lagging on the delivery front. I am in New Jersey close to NYC and placed an order for the AWD on January 11th and have not yet been assigned a VIN. My order number from 2019 is RN11282… I am an early Tesla adapter from 2016 when I bought a Model S, a car that I am trading...
Thank you for that. There does seem to be a lot of randomness to the process, especially when SoCal is experiencing varied timelines. I agree the wait is not so relevant save for the moment. That said, I had an opportunity to rent one near my for $2k for a local St Patrick’s parade and for that...
