Tesla Model S buyers are complaining that they can't pick up their new electric vehicles as they are being told that deliveries are on hold. At this point, it's unclear why.

After months of delays, Tesla finally began delivering the new version of the Model S last month.
The new electric sedan comes with an all-new interior design, a new second-row display powered by a new gaming PC, and features a new battery and drive units, which enable some amazing performance in the Plaid version of the vehicle.
But now buyers have to wait to get these new features.
Several new Tesla Model S buyers have told Electrek and posted on forums about being told by Tesla that there is a "wait" on delivery of the new vehicle.
Buyers who had been waiting months for their new vehicles were informed that they had finally arrived at their local delivery centers, but Tesla was unable to deliver them.

They are given a number of different excuses for not being able to complete the delivery.
Many buyers say the delay is due to "new inspection standards" (hsien88 on Reddit):
However, Tesla is not telling them what it is inspecting and why it cannot publish a new delivery date.
Based on buyer reports, the suspension appears to have been in effect since last weekend.
Some buyers have expressed concerns that it could be related to the Tesla Model S Plaid fire that broke out last month, but there is currently no clear evidence of this.
