How long have you been waiting? (when did you reserve?)

[Citizen-T]

I fully expected this to be a poll when I clicked on it.

I reserved on the first day possible (March 15(?), 2009, and was P96.

I reserved online on the first day. It was March 26th 2009. I am P564

I guess I waited exactly 1 year after I could have put a deposit - march 26, 2010 and got #1722 the postcard sized Model S add that I have from back then says 5 min battery swap and deliveries start 2011. I'm glad that they didn't start shipping the S in 2011, I wasn't ready yet!

We put down our deposit on July 17, 2010, for P2222. When final pricing came out in December, we changed our reservation to Sig965, primarily because I wanted the sig red. I sold John on the upgrade by reminding him he could get HOV access earlier.

October 28, 2010 gave me P2595.

July 14, 2009, via the "Friends and Family" list for Roadster owners. (A friend has a Roadster.) Didn't realize it had been three years! Delighted to see the end in sight and can't wait to take delivery. Wish I'd upgraded to Signature.

I pulled the trigger in May, 2012, received number P8xxx but immediately put myself on the waiting list for Sig (wanted RED!), so I'll be one of the lucky few who have one of the smallest waits.

I can't recall the date, but it was within the first few days, as I'm P457.

I was actually on a business trip to Asia, and reserved my car from a plane in Hong Kong. I really want this car, and have been waiting a REALLY long time.

When I made my reservation they were talking about beginning Sig deliveries the end of 2011 with Production deliveries sometime spring 2012.
Getting a little nervous watching the current delays, and looks like Wall Street is also taking notice.
Looks like the stock price is starting to take a bad hit as word of delays trickles out.
All the naysayers and shorts are starting to get the "I told you so" snicker.

What's amazing is that Tesla didn't get the NUMMI plant till the end of May 2010. That they have the plant up and running in that short amount of time is pretty phenomenal. Delays at this point are minor and are more about getting things right, rather than being able to deliver anything at all.

Reserved in late October 2009. Got P1431.
