Thanks for the info, getting ready to do this myself. Did you remove the bumpers/lights or were you able to tuck into the crack?

I've got a P85 vin 35xx in inventory now that also has the delamination issue around the top edge of the screen. The service center is quoting me $1234 +tax for replacement.

We have an issue with the passenger seat belt buckle rattling against the hard seat back when there is no passenger.

Yep, I've been to Vancouver BC from Seattle a couple of times in the last few months, both in a 2012 Model S and 2016 Model X, maps, nav, internet, streaming all work normally.

This announcement certainly explains all the 60kW CPO cars that turned up a couple months ago. Definitely best to clear out that inventory ahead of the new model. As for the Model S demand comments a few posts ago, keep in mind the North American deliveries are always softer in the first...

VIN 401X delivered in Seattle on Thursday. Slight delay due to a scuffed 2nd row seat back that was quickly replaced. Minor gap/alignment issue with the hood, loose black plastic trim at bottom of drivers door, and loose black plastic rocker molding below right rear FWD. Overall fantastic...

I think it was a P90DL, and yes, seems like white interior. Was parked in the front of the lot.

40xx has arrived in Seattle after 3 weeks in QC at the factory - hoping to deliver this week if QC process goes smoothly. Also saw a 3k vin that had just arrived as well as 63xx.

We're also in the category of having an X that finished production 2 weeks ago and we seem to be stuck in the QC phase. I have an e-mail from our DS saying the earliest delivery would be 4/22. Ha! Hopefully they clear the logjam at the factory soon! Seattle delivery, and I work 4 blocks from...

No, it's Titanium... just weird lighting in the morning sun.

I can report 9 Model X at the Seattle SODO service center this morning. Highest VIN - 840 Two prepped for delivery - Signature Red/White/7 Passenger and Silver/Black 6 Passenger One White in the service bay. The rest were out back and looked unlikely for delivery today.

Porsche Panamera crashes, catches fire. Did anyone catch this story on the national news?? Somehow it didn't make it there... :) http://www.king5.com/news/local/Porsche-traveling-140-mph-before-crash-into-Mercer-Island-building-231294221.html

Has anyone seen any other cars with exterior stripes or graphics along the lines of this Telsa Training car that's down at the factory?

The store had told me the exemption expires on July 1, 2015, however this RCW seems to contradict itself, mentioning both January 1 and July 1 (Line 4). http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=82.08.809 Does anyone have more solid information to contribute on the actual expiration date?

How about offering free flights/accommodations to a neighboring state for delivery? Not sure it could work, and definitely more snotty, but register the cars in a neighboring state so NC loses out on the sales tax revenue. :smile:

The current WA sales tax exemption is scheduled to end in July 2015. With Model X deliveries starting in late 2014, even if the rollout goes more quickly than the Model S, it seems marginally likely that you could still order a Model X and get it in time for the exemption. Unless of course...

So, not that we really have any interest in selling our car, BUT a car dealer client in Norway has inquired about purchasing our Model S at a price that makes it compelling enough to think about. Obviously there are a few issues with this possibility including: 1. Warranty - Tesla has...

Things I learned on a factory tour today: The last 3 cars coming off final assembly were vin's 4211, 4174, 4149 Apparently vin's are assigned sequentially to each body in white, however the bodies in white are held and batched by color through paint, so they don't always end up in order in...

Enadget has an interesting video from CES today that shows a QNX reference system in a Bentley Continental. http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/11/qnx-car-platform-2-hands-on/#continued

Photos of scratches are bit tough to accurately show the damage, I don't expect there is anything that won't polish out, it was definitely not keyed. The only part that won't detail out is the one small spec of dirt in the paint, but you can only see that at certain angles, it's tiny, and not...

Here are some pic's from our mini delivery event at Paramount Motors: http://www.flickr.com/photos/91858606@N06/ The scratches should all be easily polished with a good detail. We did have one small spot where there looks to be a spec of dirt in the paint, but probably not worth repainting...

P9455 / VIN 2684 is Delivered. There were 3 others on the truck, White/Black Cloth, White/Tan, Blue/Black. More photo's later, but all the cars on the truck had scratches in the paint. All except ours had the license plate frame and zero emissions insert on the back. One had the car cover...

P9455 Did not get email, got 12/15-31 delivery window, did get Vin, delivery scheduled for 9am tomorrow.

Despite our car leaving the factory on 12/21, 10 days was apparently not enough time to travel 800 miles, so count us as yet another missed delivery window by Tesla. As best I can tell the car has been sitting in Portland for about 5 days. Would have been much quicker to just drive down and...

We appear to be in the same boat, the corporate DS has had no luck tracking the car but our store called today to say that they can tell by GPS that the car is at the Portland Distribution center. So we're at the mercy of the trucking company and have requested Monday delivery.

Today's somewhat comical shipping updated: * The car left the factory on 12/21 to some distribution facility to await further shipping * Per a call with our inside DS yesterday, delivery was scheduled for 12/28 and we should hear from the driver 24hrs before * No word from the driver today, so...

For what it's worth, we're 85kw, non-performance, Brown, Tan, Pano, Tech, Air Suspension, Obeche Gloss, 19", no financing, no trade

Uhhh.. that's the even more obnoxious part, we didn't finalize our order until Dec 3rd, and never got the 'do you want the car this year' e-mail. I was completely expecting a Vin over 3000. We did complete any requested information within a couple hours of getting it. I can only guess we...

Lol... don't hate me for my Vin.... :-)

The Model S delivery saga continues... After a week of multiple phone calls with an inside delivery specialist in CA and one random e-mail from a local DS, we just got a call from the sales rep that we reserved the car from at the Bellevue store and shortly after, the final mvpa from her...

9455... apparently our car will be done finished today but the paperwork seems to be quite a hold up for them. Should have had it a couple days ago, but we're just about to the point where it's the only thing preventing shipping. Really no idea how we lucked into getting ours built so fast...

Just got off the phone with our inside delivery specialist and here's our story: P 9455 - 85kw, Brown/Tan, Tech, Air, Pano, 19" Reserved - Jun 11 (Est delivery May/June 2013) Configure E-Mail - Dec 3 Configuration Finalized - Dec 4 (Est delivery Feb/Mar) Time To Schedule Delivery E-Mail - Dec...

"Tesla plans to utilize this facility for vehicle importing operations, final vehicle assembly and distribution" There seems to be some conflicting reporting on a variety of news sites about what exactly is meant by final vehicle assembly. I'm not clear how they could possibly be actually...

He said per Day.... doesn't quite seem possible for sure... Though it would go a long way towards explaining how, as P9455, we're expecting a car by 12/31 It wouldn't exactly be the first time we've gotten "creative" numbers from the guys in the field.

Just got off the phone with the Seattle Service Center and was told that "production has ramped up to 500 per day"!

So just doing a little math.... With 3 weeks left we have a 9k range reservation holders in the group expecting delivery this year. Take out the 40/60/Red/Std Suspension buyers, those who have deferred until 2013, those who haven't finalized yet and a generous number of cancellations and...

There were 7 cars in the Seattle Service Center when I drove by last night.

Ok, we're 9455 and finalized SIX DAYS AGO and just received a It's Time to Schedule Delivery E-Mail. Very exciting, but this seems crazy fast. Conveniently the Tesla website is currently down. Argh!

9,455 finalized! Brown, Tan, 85kw, 19", Obeche Gloss, Pano, Air suspension, single charger

Sorry, I had the permissions set wrong, should be able to edit now.

After running down to Portland last weekend to test drive a sycamore brown car I thought it would be helpful to put together a list of all the cars on display. I've created the following public spreadsheet, please check it out and update whatever you know about the store(s) near you...

Two updates from the Seattle test drive this morning... the Chicago cars from the launch event were just delivered last weekend. Secondly, while 1 a day may be the average production, they are currently building batches of cars (something like 10 cars at once), spending some time inspecting...

The 5th color is a second black car, no brown, darn it! I agree with the comments on the pano roof, they definitely have a little work to do. The cross bar was Very cheap plastic and the trim at the headliner edge was just a black u-shaped trim on the beige/gray headliner.

P9455 got the e-mail about 7:30 this evening, signed up for Friday at 10am HOORAY
