Has anyone with a tow package taken delivery from RDS yet?
Let’s speak the truth. The roll-out has been fucked up, and the dealers lack of communication has been a glaring reminder why Tesla has chosen to sell direct. I have lost interest in the grenadier, and I do not support the dealer-cartel.
The US rollout is American car peddling as usual.
I’m probably buying a Tesla Model X instead of the Grenadier at this point. I might revisit the Grenadier when they figure out their shit in a few years… We took my wife’s model 3 to Canada for Christmas, and it was a wake up call. I cannot stand wasteful middlemen (dealerships) who add no value, and proceed to f**k up the roll out of an automobile by not communicating to the customer base. I know it is a weird hill to die on, but I just can’t support the dealer-cartel anymore. It’s a vestigial cartel, from a by gone era, and it on us to kill it off. I have had ZERO communications from Knauz in Chicago, over my dead body am I going to give them a 13% profit margin for faxing my order.
It sounds like this is your final post. Enjoy your Tesla!
Yes - I did on 12/20.
What kind of a connector does it have? Four flat? Or seven pin round?
That means the fix is available already. Let's hope we hear back from Ineos or our respective dealerships soon.
Sorry - I should've been more clear - I took delivery of my vehicle on 12/20, spec'd with the tow package, although there is still a blank plate in place where the electrics and hitch receiver would be (a fix has not been released for this yet).
FWIW Rivian wasn't exactly stellar in my experience with direct sales, even with free delivery (3.5 hours each way) to my house. I've had two mobile service visits in the past year but if I needed major service it would be a 7 hour round trip for me.
Nobody has a tow package. I bought the tow package but took delivery of my truck last week with no tow package there is a plastic cover over where the two inch receiver is supposed to be. Everyone is still waiting. The only bright spot is the tow package will now be free when it finally arrives.
Mine arrived in Baltimore on the arc patriot on November 9th. I proactively called my dealer intermittently probably since mid-November to check if the dealer received it. If I were you - just keep reaching out to the dealer (like once a week week, via text or call) to check if they’ve received yet. The dealer says they aren’t made aware of which grenadiers are at port or even which are leaving port in transport to the dealer - they literally only find out when they arrive at their dealership. Also, RDS didn’t have any accessories yet (when I took delivery), but I told them I’d like my vehicle awhile - and would just pick up the accessories whenever the tow package fix was available.
Thanks - mine arrived on the 9th as well. Odd that we need to do the bird-dogging.
RDS did call me on 12/19 to say there were ~50 remaining at Baltimore from the November arrivals. These are coming to RDS ~12/week, but in random order so they do not know when mine will arrive. Sort of good news, bad news.
