When I visited the factory they explained the serendipity of delivery dates, to the 6-picking up cars. We all had ordered at different times, I was in the middle of the pack. "Delays" were due to:
1. Just in time component ordering- thus no deep parts inventory-if supplier runs late or typhoon slows the boat...,
2. Customer preference not predictable,
3. Production line/painting batched, they build in groups (you might have chosen a combo that's less popular so have to wait for a bunch of 60kW white plain roof cars to be built),
4. Change up of production line (in my case to design/install an upgraded attachment point for the rear seat, which took the factory offline till they could work out the weld points and reprogram the robots),
5. End July/early Aug they reconfigured the assembly line to increase Mod S output and to build Mod X. This would obviously put a wrench into your delivery plans...and more for sure.
I would not put it past them to tween deliveries to make their numbers look better but I'm certain it's more complicated than that. The logistics of a start up auto manufacturer are undoubtedly complicated and would make me an insomniac!
Be patient and you'll be rewarded with a fantastic ride. I've enjoined over 25,000 joyous miles along with an excellent service center experience. I fact just left after clipping the wheel valve stem on a curb. Unannounced they had me in/out in an hour with smiles all around.
Consider that even in the best of relationships there will be bumps, but you'll never need
