Thanks everyone. I was able to take my friend to La Push and Rialto beach, we charged in Port Angeles on the way there for about 2 hours while eating breakfast then another 2 hours on the way back for a late lunch and a visit around town. Made it home with 28 miles of charge left. My first...

This recent trend has been going on even in the first few pages of comments. I didn't realize it was only for feedback on the spreadsheet, I'm sure others felt the same way. Sorry to spam your inbox.

Same thing happened to my car, it spent 14 days 16 hours and 20 minutes in production. No notification of what happened or why, spent over a week in the "final stage". It's frustrating isn't it? All I can say is it's worth it when you finally get it.

60 days for order to delivery and it was so worth it. You almost forget how nice the car is till it arrives.

Your Model S is being prepared for pickup or delivery. Just spoke with my DS, pickup on 5/20. A day before I absolutely needed the car to be here. Talk about down to the wire. This means it'll be exactly 60 days from ordering to delivery, or 57 from confirmation to delivery.

My car is supposed to arrive next week and a friend is coming in town and wants to visit Olympic National park and see the coast. I've done this before in an ICE but this will be the first trip in my S85. Any suggestions from people that have done the trip before? I assumed we'd do a full...

That's fantastic. I'm glad your wait is over. Sorry I wasn't quite clear, after 14 days 16 hours and change my status was updated to in transit :-). I dropped off my trade in and took public transit home. Depending on which truck it goes on mine will be delivered either Sat. if they rush it...

14 days 16 hours and 20 minutes in production, but now that it's over who's counting.... :-) Updating the spreadsheet now.

Just S85. I don't need awd and wanted the quieter ride the S85 had over the D and the larger frunk since we'll be getting the 3rd row seats.

I'm wondering the same thing here. 14 days in production and counting. The lack of communication of what's going on really is the worst part of it.

Thanks for the sympathy, I'm not getting much from my wife :smile: She just tells me to be patient. It's hard when my current car was driven into the ground and is literally falling apart (glove box handle broke when I went to get my registration paperwork for the trade in appraisal). Fun times.

As of today it's still in production, 12 days and counting. If it makes it here by the 11th (orig. estimated date) or the 13th (date on the paperwork) this will be the fastest in transit and prepped for delivery I've seen :biggrin:

Darn, that would have been good to know 2 weeks or so ago. Thanks for posting it for others!

Picked up the production rate for some, today will be the 10th day of production for me. My DS has just said "Production does fluctuate and cars can take longer than expected going through the factory." Still frustrating watching cars that got started in May get finished before mine. Just...

You can blame me, I've got the 85 to Seattle that's in the middle of its 8th day in production. They're probably holding the truck for me :biggrin:

It shows up the same area where the financing information is. Mine showed up over the weekend while my car is still in production. I was told I could even wait till the morning of delivery to submit a wire transfer for an evening pickup. I plan on paying sometime this week after my car...

That happened to me too, so it's not just the SE having issues. It was pretty sad that when my DS was out for a day I received more prompt communication from his backup than my normal DS provided in the previous two weeks. I'm not sure how much to criticize my DS, he's done everything I've...

Just wait till it gets to production and then sits there for a week (as mine currently is) or two weeks like others on the forum have reported with no updates or any communication what is causing the holdup. Other cars will fly in and out of production in 3-4 days while yours languishes in...

Tell me about it. I was seeing all the 3 and 4 days in production on the spreadsheet and got confident mine would breeze through. So far it's 6.5 days and counting....

I placed the order online but next time we went to the store we received two hats.

The production order at Tesla is mysterious and can't be predicted accurately as they batch cars through in different order than VIN number. My car was ordered 21/3 and confirmed 25/3 and just entered production late night 27/4. Which sounds about the same time frame as yours from placing an...

After refreshing what seemed like every 10 minutes today (the estimated start of prod) mine finally went into production! I don't know if this will make me refresh more or less now... :redface:

Just paid, it looks like I'll have my FOBO before I'll have the Tesla... oh well it can sit around with the wall charger and the CHAdeMO adapter :-)

Slipped in a change to the new pricing structure and added the premium package for the interior lighting etc. Already had the powered lift gate under the old option setup but the accent leds and other touches cost me -$120 plus the $500 change fee so it was worth it to pay $380 for the rest of...

I've spent most of the week with my DS trying to change one option for me and go under the new pricing structure, I still haven't gotten confirmation yet and I'm supposed to go into production Monday. I'm wondering if they're really swamped with the 70D and all the changes.

I'm interested in one as well. One reason was their responsiveness working on the iPhone issue.

Shop around, the number difference between companies for me was staggering.

DS called today, updated with estimated prod and delivery dates.

Just got a call from my DS, should be going into production by 4/27. This will probably have me checking the site even more now. :redface:

Final numbers, I'll probably end out going with Safeco. Some of these quotes do have multiline discounts for home and umbrella insurance. Allied$2,100.00Allstate *$3,014.00Costco (Ameriprise)$2,320.00Esurance$1,728.00Geico$2,600.00Mutual of Enumclaw$2,900.00Nationwide...

Awww come on, let me have my delusions :smile: Seriously though I was told I'd be going into production the end of April so another week or so sounds right. I'm down to only checking 5x a day, that's a huge improvement from when I ordered a month ago.

That gives me hope, I'm 900ish behind you. 828XX. Probably another week or so before my S 85 goes into production..

Spoke with a local agent's office today, I guess the person I spoke to on the phone earlier ran down a list of cars they won't insure and saw Tesla Roadster and told me they won't insure a Tesla. Waiting for an updated quote tomorrow.

Thanks Tokuro, I think their policy might have changed, esurance originally quoted me a figure, then I received this message today. "I have received a message this morning from our underwriting department that due to original MSRP being over the threshold that we write unfortunately we would not...

For others, here's my experience with shopping for insurance in Seattle. I'm shopping two cars, a KIA and my forthcoming S85. I'm also shopping home owners insurance and an umbrella policy so some of these auto prices have multi-line discounts. The table below is just for the automotive...

Safeco turned out to be the cheapest for me so far. I'm going to call around some more this week and see if anyone can beat their price. (2250/yr for home, 2 cars and an umbrella) Has anyone had any experience with Safeco claims in general, or any claims for a Tesla? I see a lot of bad...

Was the power lift-gate always a premium option or is this a change rolled out with the 70D? I did see the subzero is now 1000 instead of 750 and the 3rd row seats are 3000 instead of 2500. Thanks.

Finalized my order today, Assigned VIN 82,8XX, went through sourcing parts and just entered production queue. S 85 RWD
