First 60kWH delivery notice or email - who will it be?

Still waiting for delivery button

Looks like highest 60 with a window on the spreadsheet is in the mid 6000s. Hopefully you'll be in the next wave.

I'm going to do the same. I'm less than 5 miles away. I have to get that wonderful red button first though.

I'm seeing the delivery button again on the "My Tesla" page but everytime I click on it I'm taken back to the "My Tesla" page. I've already filled out the questionnaire about delivery so I wonder if this is something different or just a glitch in the matrix.

 

[MTGMAN]

You can put my info and see what happens lol....:biggrin:

 

[Ceilidh]

@Discoducky: Same thing here. It appears to be a glitch. Someone on the main Tesla forum called and asked about it and was told not to worry and just ignore it.

Cheers.

With the 1st batch of 60 kWh deliveries less than 2 weeks away, I'm a bit surprised that nobody has reported a VIN. Anyone worried about another delay?

Cheers

factory was on vacation last week, I wouldn't have expected progress... the question may be how far ahead they knew they'd have the week off -- was it a surprise or well planned (and will everyone get a 1wk delay added to their delivery windows)

 

[Discoducky]

I'm hoping for a VIN at least two weeks in advance and that TM can hit the delivery window of 1/21 - 2/4. Hope that is not too much to ask

I have 01/16-01/30 as do a few others. Some have the window starting 01/15. The VIN notification has got to happen this week... Gotta focus on my new job at the same time So giddy I cannot fall asleep!

 

[Babylonfive]

I'm a week later but also very giddy... who will get the first VIN? <excited look>

 

[SteveH]

What's everyone's approach to the VIN question? Are you sitting back and waiting for TM to contact you? Are you reaching to to them? If so, by phone or e-mail? How often?

 

[Babylonfive]

IMHO the wide view is that they've been taking a deserved holiday and are back at it only a few business days so far. Therefore, I've only sent a single email to delivery crew, and not tried to burrow into their ears quite yet...

Obviously that could and should change soon; more for the earlier ones than mine (1-21 - 2/4 for me).

I'm really tempted to reach out as well but, will hold off till Wednesday; would need a couple of business days to get PenFed to cut a check so that delivery's not held up.

 

[Tempus]

i've also been holding off on bugging them. I figure give them at least a few days to get the factory up and churning out cars again. If you didn't have a VIN before they went on break at the end of the year, it's highly unlikely you would have one till mid week at the earliest anyway.

If I haven't heard, i'll probably start bugging them thursday or friday this week

I believe I'm in the first batch as well (delivery range starting 1/23). I talked to Tesla a few days ago and they are still waiting for the VIN... will let folks know if I hear anything.

The earliest range i've heard of is 1/15-1/31, so that presumably is the first batch.

As an update, I called to get the scoop on this and here is what I was told:

It takes about 10 days for a car to be built form start to finish at this point in time. As a result, VINs are being assigned about 10 or so days before the car is due to be completed. No reason to worry unless you are less than 10 days prior to the last day of your window and have not yet been contacted.

FWIW, I hope that helps.

Cheers.

The earliest range given is 1/12-1/26. There is at least one R and several low P 60kWh cars, at least up to my P631 car, that have all been given this range. I will report as soon as I hear from Tesla about a VIN or a more solid delivery date.

yeah - but that doesn't account for travel time... which they should be aware of when calculating delivery windows. I was thinking another 10 days after the factory is done with it would be a reasonable "delivery" window for an east coaster. (and i know i've heard some stories about a lot worse than that on the forums here. Still hoping they continue to improve).

Congratulations on being one of the very first 60 kWh deliveries. As a fellow 60 kWh reservation holder I can't wait to read your delivery story! Everyone talks about get the "red button" on your My Tesla page but should I also expect an email alerting me to go press the button? I haven't been checking the My Tesla page every day (but pretty darn close). I've already seen my config PDF about 40,000 times (to feed my obsession I've gotta keep checking just in case the Tesla elves changed it in the middle of the night :smile
