Yup. Unfortunately the cars are not delivered in exact linear progression. For example, I am #76 and I don't have mine yet -- which makes seeing a presentation of #81 even more painful. :)

Some cars just have minor issues on the line that require a bit of time to resolve...

I walked around the service area with Zak and the highest VIN we found was #135. At this point all the gliders are still being flown in from the UK. It wasn't exactly clear when they'll start coming by boat, but that it would be "soon." My guess is at current production rates, for some reason or another, it makes more sense for them to continue to come in by plane since that provides a steady stream of gliders.

VIN125, you can see Elon in the back left giving more interviews.

Hey Doug, did you happen to see my car? It's #106- radiant red w/black interior.

doug

Hey, long time no see! I'd don't remember coming across that particular VIN, but I'd bet it's there. Did they give you a delivery date yet? This green car, #107, already had its drivetrain installed.

I guess this thread has morphed to include the occasional delivery updates as well as production.

That color is just so damn incredible !!!.

I am flying to San Francisco in January on business. I will be using the opportunity to checkout various interior designs that other owners are selecting for Radiant Red. I just cannot get enough detail from the website to make a decision. I have to see the different styles in person.

My Tesla rep (Ted) said that many of the cars coming through now (after 100) are radiant red. Many different examples are available to see different interior designs.

I cannot recommend this enough. The colors in person are very different than on the web site. Particularly for some colors like the Twilight Blue which looks completely different in the sun vs. the shade. Do not lock in any colors until you have seen them in person if you can help it.

And congratulations MDR! It is great that "real people" (aka people I have actually met, and are not VCs or hollywood types) are actually receiving their cars!
