Tom it's the 2022 Model S, with the yoke style wheel? I have one on order that should be ready in February sometime. I had 2 model S's in the past, and compared to them the Y doesn't really cut it for ride quality.

Yes, 2022 Model S Refreshed with the Yoke and the air suspension which does provide a superior ride over the Y. Plus, the ability to adjust the clearance is very important to me since I live at the end of a 5 mile from the highway private gravel ranch road, which goes from sea level to 1800' elevation in that distance. With all wheel drive and superb traction control, it does the best of all the cars I have driven on this road over the last 45 years.

While controversial among non Tesla owners, the Yoke is very easy to adjust to and I have learned to like it a lot.

My order was placed in April of 2021 and delivery came at the end of September.

My CyberTruck order was placed in 2020 and it now seems delivery won't happen until late 2023. It will replace a 2005 Chevy Silverado 2500 Diesel which only has 95,000 miles and is a workhorse when needed. I have owned it since 2010. It has a lot of life left, so I can easily wait. I do believe the CyberTruck will be a huge interrupter of the GM/Ford/Dodge pick/up truck market which has seen little innovation over far too long a time.
