Model S Delivery Dates and Sequencing

[PattyChuck]

Delivery window of Dec 15 - Dec 31. Pretty thrilling! I've noticed, thought, that Tesla doesn't seem to be very consistent with their communication. I read posts on here all the time about people getting personal phone calls/emails from their DS. I don't even know who my DS is! The only time I've talked to a Tesla employee was when I wanted to add an HPWC and twin charger to my already-finalized order.

How do I find out who my DS is, and how do I go about getting in touch with them?

Mmmm I just got the idea for a new hood ornament. No not the one he's holding. the one behind him...

After reading all these posts, I figured that I should check the My Tesla page as well. Sure enough, I saw the long-awaited delivery button. Almost missed it, since it appears to the far right of the message that's always been there indicating that my Tesla is being built!

I received what appears to be a somewhat common delivery window of 12/15-12/31 to my home near Los Angeles. After assuming just last month that delivery would never happen for P4909 in 2012, now I have to hurry (but definitely not complaining) to get a 14-50 NEMA outlet installed in my garage and sell my 535i (but guess I won't get any takers on this forum). Just wish my wife and two daughters were as excited as I am...

Congrats to all the others who have or will take delivery soon, and thinking good thoughts for the rest of you who clicked the "heck ya deliver my Tesla in December" button yesterday as I did.

For me, initial contact was via an email from my DS. I've responded to the email but haven't yet heard back. (Keep in mind they're very busy and on the road delivering cars!)

Right after submitting the requested information following the delivery button, I selected the option to have a DS call me. That option disappeared though after going back to my dashboard page. You can always send an email to delivery@teslamotors.com but as Todd mentioned, I'm sure they're extremely busy right now.

It's been an interesting couple days. Yep, I got the email with the two buttons: [YES, DELIVER IN DECEMBER] and [NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG]. After clicking YES, I began the conversation with my family, and preparation for the arrival (which I was thinking was going to be March). All this led me to think.. wait a minute... there are perhaps thousands of people ahead of me who also clicked yes.. This all just doesn't quite make sense.. so I called Tesla, talked to a delivery specialist, and she did indeed say.. yes, there is a very strong likelihood you will get your car in December.. (in 2-3 weeks?!?). Um.. wow.

My theory (sketchy at best, but what the heck) is that they have just about every body in white for the rest of the year done ready to roll into the paint booth and paint, assemble, water test, finish assembly, final test, burn in, add thermistors, baton down the framistats, do final adjustments on the doohickeys, sprinkle Magic Tesla Dust™, and roll out the door.

Here's my info:

For the rest of the month? Probable, but begs the question: what is the total lineup for the rest of the year? Up to P9000, with lotsa gaps?

I think they got waay ahead, as you say, on the GPs while focusing on finishing off the Sigs (also pre-stockpiling the foreign Sigs, too?). Now they need to unclog the production and delivery pipeline by pushing out as many as possible, as fast as possible. But I doubt that, numerically speaking, they'll cut down the reserved-minus-delivered backlog much, only the produced-minus-delivered, a bit. The realistic goal has to be to smooth and "routinize" this high level of output, because that's the way it's gotta be just to keep up from now on.

They've gotta get used to "dancing as fast as they can"‼
