Welcome!

Drove the BMW ActiveE and impressed enough to buy the car that was built from the ground up to be the real thing. I am P 7422 as of 10 minutes ago. Now can they build approx. 9000 in a month? I am sure I won't get much sympathy now that I have been waiting for 12 minutes.

Congrats. What battery pack are you planning on getting? The 85 kWh pack will get you the car sooner than the 60 and 40 kWh packs. You're probably looking at fall to spring depending on which battery pack you choose.

Congrats and welcome. Be thankful your wait will be a matter of months (possibly a year). I've been waiting for two years.

I am thinking the 85kwh pack to pick up the unlimited warranty. The 60kwh is my second choice. I will see how it pans out. I think I can make the range work in the Bay area on any of the packs.

I don't know if you want to add this to your tally (or subtract as it would be). Yesterday I officially canceled Model S P2138 with Tesla because I switched to the Model X.

I'm not sure battery pack preferences will matter outside of 2012. I don't think Tesla is going to give 85kwh permanent cuts in line, but was rather just for the initial ramp up in production.

Has anyone had their Model S reservation moved up? We've had a few people switch reservations to Model X - curious if Tesla is reserving the newly-opened spots or if everyone is moving up in line.

I did about a year ago. Went from 130something to 114. They may be keeping the numbers the same (I could car number 99 but still be listed as 114) and not collapsing the list as they did before.

Wouldn't it make more sense from a "create less work for yourself" point of view to just skip open numbers at the time of going through the sequence instead of constantly reorganizing the list. It's not like the reservation holders are going to feel any difference.

I bet that's what Tesla will do with maybe the exception of the Signature holders.
