Model S Delivery Dates and Sequencing

[ckessel]

When folks say you've contacted your DS to get a VIN, where do you find that contact info? "My Tesla" doesn't indicate any contact for me.

I haven't seen a Production with grey interior ready for delivery posted yet, so here it is:

Got my "Your Model S is Ready for Delivery" email last night. Waiting on the call. Here's my configuration as a data point: 85kWh, Sequoia Green, Pano Roof, 19" Wheels, GREY Leather, Obeche Matte, Tech, Sound, Air Susp, Armor, and Twin Chargers. VIN # 1656, and I am P #1693. Numbers are pretty close in this case.

@ckessel, I just replied to the "Your S is Ready" Tesla sent and asked for the VIN and if they accept personal checks (yes). They answered back in a few hours.

That is what I call service. My DS will be ...

... notably absent due to Texas Law. Hrmph .. I will finalize payment on P188 tomorrow and they can ship it as soon as they feel possible. We expect to see it next week.

I want to imagine he'll be there off in the distance and will look like this:

[email protected] is always the email address I use. They respond quickly on that one.

Zex, what interior are you getting?

I just saw a post on the TM forum that indicated sequence P4060 was told he would have car by Christmas. I don't know if he was from CA or not, but that is certainly the highest P number I have seen in this recent bubble of delivery promises!

So I couldn't resist calling and inquiring, and was told that given my config (specifically 85kWh, non-perf, 19" wheels), I might well be receiving an email today or tomorrow, and 2012 delivery was more likely than 2013 delivery. All speculation, of course, but definitely different than just a few days ago, when 2013 was the most likely scenario.

That's P4996, people!!!! I think I have that "Other Tesla Grin" right now, even though it may well be premature!

Zex, what interior are you getting?

Lacewood w. black leather. Trying to scrap together the downpayment so I can get it Saturday maybe!

they are BUSTING ASS right now!! I've had e-mails from 3 DS's (within a couple of hours) and they really want to get rid of all the cars that were probably waiting on a part or whatever the case was
I think they will hit 5k cars out by 2013

 

[contaygious]

Wow they must have built like every non 21 grey wheel + cf car out there while they were waiting for parts if they are getting to almost 5k already!

 

[goaliemanshark]

Now the wait for the first non leather seats...

Hopefully there aren't any supplier issues with the textile seats!

 

[Todd Burch]

Seems like a large number of those getting delivery notification are lacewood trim. Something tells me that trim batching may be causing the wildly out-of-sequence notifications.

 

[goaliemanshark]

I called Tesla this morning about an update and left a voicemail.

Got a call from Peter just now and he gave me my VIN. #1708 P#3385

Blue, non performance 85, pano roof, air suspension, piano black, TEXTILE seats.

My guess is they are building the earlier reservation holder by location to hit their delivered goals.

EXCITED

 

[Todd Burch]

Odd. I just emailed Tesla requesting an update on my car.

LITERALLY 5 minutes later, I received notification to start delivery planning!

I think this has happened to a few other people. Maybe the squeaky wheels are getting the grease?

Anyway, for the record: P1577, Dolphin gray, 85 kWh Non-perf, Piano black, black leather, tech, sound, air suspension, 19" wheels.

I don't know VIN or delivery range yet. Will post when I have it.

Edit: My delivery date is Dec. 7-21. Guess I'll make year end as well.

Woo HOOOOOOO!!!!

 

[Babylonfive]

COME ON 60!! COME ON! Get approved, please??

 

[SteveH]

COME ON 60!! COME ON! Get approved, please??

I'm right there with you. But as long as they are delivering all the 85s that are ahead of us in line I still see this as progress.

@Contaygious: Even though you are in CA and I'm in FLA, our configurations and sequence numbers are about as similar as they can be. Getting the email from Tesla today letting me know my price wont go up and they have all the information they need to build my car was the best news I've had in a while So... How about building my car and getting me my VIN then?? Are your 21's grey? Now it does seem like delivery location has a lot to do with it as well as config.

 

[FalconNinetyD]

Just emailed the delivery team on the off chance that I have a VIN/delivery window assigned...

I'd all but abandoned hope that I'd see the car this year, and I'm trying not to let the recent news change this.

 

[Zextraterrestrial]

Oh yeah, my delivery date range says 17th - 28th but I a also was told I could get it today through Sunday. I think they are trying their hardest to contact everyone and set everything up for deliveries

I have white, tan, cf, pano, air, tech, sound, 21 grey, spoiler. which is very close to yours.

I'm told it has no VIN so can't get an actual estimate yet.

Congrats to NapaBill - First General Production to Take Delivery!

P-83 Factory delivery today. Non-perf, 19", brown/tan, Tech, air susp, solid roof.

I believe, and I could be wrong, that you are the first General Production to take delivery.

Congratulations!

 

[dsmith2189]

Well, I got an email just not the one I was expecting.... An email saying the coming price increase would not affect me.

Seeing an email from them was kind of a tease

Yeah an email from Tesla.... oops! Price increase will not affect me. Stop teasing us.

I received the delivery email last night as shown below. This is so exciting!

No delivery window yet, but I am opting for the delivery party at the Bellevue store when they ask. I actually got the VIN a few days ago but it was requested that I keep quiet on it.
