Model S Delivery Dates and Sequencing

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
Got another email from Cale, my DES, tonight:

Great news – your Model S is complete and is ready for delivery! It should make its way onto a truck in the next couple of days. I will keep you up to date as to when we expect the delivery date to be.

So, next week might be the big week!

Funny thing is I've got just a few gallons left in my Prius. I'll have to see if I can make that stretch and have it be my final fill-up before going electric :)
 
Ok, so Cardiologist decided to keep me in the hospital for the weekend for monitoring and scheduled heart catheter for Monday. I said ok but let's getter done quickly because my new Tesla S is supposed to arrive soon. I think the intermediate diagnosis is highly elevated levels of Teslasterone. Need long drives in my new S 2X daily, stat! Whoever asked me to put them in my will, sorry, but if I go the new S goes with me! Now that would be heaven! Will update again on the other side, Monday.

Glad you are feeling better and best of luck to you. Your dedication to post from the ER is amazing. I think that's a first here.
 
Ok. I think the 3 1/2 year wait finally got to me! I've gotten so excited reading all the angst delivery stories on here I started getting some unnerving chest pains this morning and I am now doing this update from the emergency room. I'm currently hooked up to heart monitors, oxygen tubes, IV, nitro, getting X-rays and god knows what else. But they're still letting me have my IPhone so far so I can continue to read these posts and watch for notification that my Blue sleigh is on a truck headed for the east coast. Does the "deliver anywhere" promise extend to ERs! P1117 on level orange! :/)

I did that last month. Pulmonary embolism. my only thought was "I have to recover to take delivery of my Tesla." the only thing I forgot on the way to the ER was my phone charger. they kept me there for over a week. Get well soon teslaguy so you can get your car. tell the truck driver to put on flashing red lights and pull up in front of the ER stat.

DearTeslaGuy (pictured above),
When meeting you in NYC, together attending The Motortrend Event (and, an Event it was), I noticed a slight flicker in your eye of un-repressible zeal, relentless admiration for this Model S, this Car, this New Pathway that is replacing the mini-van in which you heretofore carted your grandchildren from soccer game to recital. But is it the car that this TeslaGuy pursues, or is it - itself - just the pursuit of the passion, the absolute uselessness of throwing one's time, money - and now, one's coronary arteries - into the near religious exhalation of aluminum, silicone, glass, and self-extending door handles? Might we say that TeslaGuy has a little...addiction problem? Ahh? You say, "No No No.." he's such a normal Guy..." Yes - of course - we all enjoy a stop in the ER with a "touch" of chest pain, Oxygen cannulas, catheters, cuffs, and - Tesla Motors Club Forum! - Of Course - JUST what the Doctor ordered. Goodness forbid you missed a post - or - Oh My - two posts! Might get a little shaky, confused, perhaps a little seizure, maybe drift off quietly into a WITHDRAWAL coma whilst the rest of us stare at our screens and wonder, mist-ily: Where's the reply from TeslaGuy? Is he not well? Oh, he's just having a Cardiac Cath? GREAT - post on, John! (You know how to find me if there's a GI issue!). And get the hell out of there - There's a car coming that's calling for you!

Delivery window of Dec 15 - Dec 31. Pretty thrilling! I've noticed, thought, that Tesla doesn't seem to be very consistent with their communication. I read posts on here all the time about people getting personal phone calls/emails from their DS. I don't even know who my DS is! The only time I've talked to a Tesla employee was when I wanted to add an HPWC and twin charger to my already-finalized order.

How do I find out who my DS is, and how do I go about getting in touch with them?
 
After reading all these posts, I figured that I should check the My Tesla page as well. Sure enough, I saw the long-awaited delivery button. Almost missed it, since it appears to the far right of the message that's always been there indicating that my Tesla is being built!

I received what appears to be a somewhat common delivery window of 12/15-12/31 to my home near Los Angeles. After assuming just last month that delivery would never happen for P4909 in 2012, now I have to hurry (but definitely not complaining) to get a 14-50 NEMA outlet installed in my garage and sell my 535i (but guess I won't get any takers on this forum). Just wish my wife and two daughters were as excited as I am...

Congrats to all the others who have or will take delivery soon, and thinking good thoughts for the rest of you who clicked the "heck ya deliver my Tesla in December" button yesterday as I did.
 
For me, initial contact was via an email from my DS. I've responded to the email but haven't yet heard back. (Keep in mind they're very busy and on the road delivering cars!)

Right after submitting the requested information following the delivery button, I selected the option to have a DS call me. That option disappeared though after going back to my dashboard page. You can always send an email to [email protected] but as Todd mentioned, I'm sure they're extremely busy right now.
 
It's been an interesting couple days. Yep, I got the email with the two buttons: [YES, DELIVER IN DECEMBER] and [NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG]. After clicking YES, I began the conversation with my family, and preparation for the arrival (which I was thinking was going to be March). All this led me to think.. wait a minute... there are perhaps thousands of people ahead of me who also clicked yes.. This all just doesn't quite make sense.. so I called Tesla, talked to a delivery specialist, and she did indeed say.. yes, there is a very strong likelihood you will get your car in December.. (in 2-3 weeks?!?). Um.. wow.

My theory (sketchy at best, but what the heck) is that they have just about every body in white for the rest of the year done ready to roll into the paint booth and paint, assemble, water test, finish assembly, final test, burn in, add thermistors, baton down the framistats, do final adjustments on the doohickeys, sprinkle Magic Tesla Dust™, and roll out the door.

Here's my info:
P#7645
Estimated Delivery Window: 12/15 - 12/31
Pearl White
85kWh Performance
Black Interior
Carbon Fiber
21" Silver
Tech/Sound
Pano Roof
extra Magic Tesla Dust™

Pick up location: my house

For the rest of the month? Probable, but begs the question: what is the total lineup for the rest of the year? Up to P9000, with lotsa gaps?

I think they got waay ahead, as you say, on the GPs while focusing on finishing off the Sigs (also pre-stockpiling the foreign Sigs, too?). Now they need to unclog the production and delivery pipeline by pushing out as many as possible, as fast as possible. But I doubt that, numerically speaking, they'll cut down the reserved-minus-delivered backlog much, only the produced-minus-delivered, a bit. The realistic goal has to be to smooth and "routinize" this high level of output, because that's the way it's gotta be just to keep up from now on.

They've gotta get used to "dancing as fast as they can"‼
