Latest "Finalize your order" date

[DrDave]

Robert and GG--I have been following your posts for so long now and learning so much from them, that I feel really good about hearing that you are both fully configured and in the manufacturing queue. And I am about 2000 vehicles ahead of you with Sig 667, so I'm getting really excited about receiving mine in just a few more weeks (my contract says October). Hopefully, Tesla will pleasantly surprise all of us with earlier deliveries!

I think people need to quit expecting Tesla to surprise them with early deliveries.

Thanks for the kind words, weccman; yes, it's going to be a wonderful Fall this year We'll surely get some dry driving before winter sets in!

Got my email and finalized, number in the 1800's, said December for delivery date

Nice, Robert! Good to see that you finally settled on the Green! Yeah, I got a firm November delivery estimate with 1,620 so, you were right on the bubble.

GG, I am 1456 and I got a Nov/Dec date. I wonder if it also depends on when you eSign the agreement. I signed mine on Saturday and received counter signed doc today (Monday).

Would be easier to do if Tesla didn't state they would hit 500 deliveries in the third quarter and 5000 by the end of the year

For another data point I'm 2112 I finalized Friday 8/10 my delivery date says Dec/Jan

Hmm... interesting. Yes, my wife and I wasted no time at all in getting it all done within 3 hours of receiving the configure email

I wonder if it may have a little to do with (the buyer's) location too vs-a-vis the factory?!

Nov/Dec vs solid-Nov may be okay but, Dec/Jan (as in raptorweb's case) could make a big difference given the tax credit angle.

Well, if 2112 (85kwh, perf) is delivered in January, there is no way that Tesla will hit 5,000 sales in 2012. Not even 3,500.

If it will be difficult to take care of later, better take care of it now.

The delivery dates are probably (though not certainly) on the "safe side". The difference between 3,300 and 5,000 is just one month of full production.

Besides, I hope we are not repeating something like last month. Consider patience a virtue.
