I'm not a signature holder, but have a few observations from reading the Founders, Signature and Production delivery threads. All seem to have similar anxieties, concerns and see the same delays. Founders are MIA, Signatures are either delayed production or held in SC, and Productions (like me) just hoping for a VIN. I sometime forget that Tesla is really a small company, with growing pains. There processes aren't as refined. Tesla is a basically a company of "engineers", and as such they by their nature focus on engineering, and may not focus on business acumen collectively possessed by ALL of Reservation Holders. After reading Signature and Founders' issues, I realize that Production holders are further back than I/We or Tesla would like. That said, I think when Tesla resolves what ever needs to be resolved, the flood gates will open. Right now there seems to be a bottle neck (at least by speculation) at final assembly, QC and SC. So based on that supposition, Tesla would rightfully s-l-o-w down all the processes. I respect, and expect Tesla will get it right. So I have not called, since its not my car at issue or my being forgotten -- it is something larger or smaller than one car albeit Signature, Founder or Production.

1200 Signature orders were offered. No detailed data available on how many have confirmed or how many have delivered.
The Model X Tracker can give you data on the population that have participated and entered information.

i assume once the initial production bugs are solved and parts supplies are available you will see the ramp up occur.
I read these forums every day looking for hints of good news but now this thread is actually depressing—lower VIN’s than mine from cities closer to California and March in the same sentence! I was first told (by my DS) December, then January, now early February (no way to make that now since the car hasn’t left Fremont yet). I can only guess that now I may be waiting until March, or even later, to see my car. My expectations have been set and unmet too many times. I am more than fine with waiting for the car to be ready, especially since I live several hours away from a service center, but this roller coaster of target windows and speculation and forum tidbits is too much. At least now I can stop worrying about not having Winter tires since Winter will be over by the time I get my car and surely eight months is enough time for TM to get a Winter wheel package together (is it?). No more forums, no more DS emails. I’ll be back to post when I actually have a delivery (not just a delivery date, but a delivery).

I've posted elsewhere that modelxtracker has only listed 38 total deliveries of Xs since inception, a painfully low number for what we all assume has been several hundred. The data is flawed by non-submitters, or people that got bored of updating there own data once they received there cars. Case on point there were 114 people listing their cars in production, but just cant figure out if still in production versus delivered versus non-updating....

As European #44 - not a word yet about when we will be able to order. No clue apparently so I fear it will go as 3 years ago - by late fall we will see SIGs hitting the road and minutes later GP vehicles too...
After the S they assured us we would not see that again ...

Same here. Mine should arrive at SC this week and then depending upon how much work is needed, it will be there somewhere between 1 day and half the age of the universe.

A week ago it was still in production but should finish in a day or so. I expect it is now having any issues ironed out.

My question is... How did they get into this situation. If they ran out of some component such as... Middle row seats... That would effect all the production cars lined up behind my car. It should also have effected the 500 signature cars after mine also... So it is confusing.
