It seems for us folks in Houston that production started after it appeared we had a whole truck load--I think I'm just about the earliest in the batch with some being ordered about a month later.

Ugh, I really lost on the DS lottery. My car has been in production for almost a week and my DS has made zero effort to connect with me to schedule delivery. Every step of this process I've had to proactively reach out to her repeatedly to get the ball going and get updates.
Is there any communication channel post-sale to review your DS? BMW had/has a great process for doing this.

My DS (Nicholas Wcislo) is on holiday until today which I know from his automated email response.

ALWAYS IN LUDICROUS MODE! P90D>P100D Upgrade
I agree, but I will say that my DS has been extremely knowledgeable and had great insight into the timing of my car. From when I first got my vin he told me from his screen the day they expected my car to reach the end of the production line. I was then told last week that my car was delayed due to factory retooling etc but even with all that my car entered production about 2 days before his initial expected end of line date and should reach the end of the production line sometime this week unless theres some issue.
I want to say this again if your unhappy with your DS call the service center where your car is being delivered you can ask for a different DS, most of the time when I call the office a different DS answers the phone so just ask them about you car status. If you like what your hear and they seem more knowledgeable ask them to become your DS!! PROBLEM SOLVED!
I have had the same if not worse experience. I always have to initiate contact with my DS and if I do he usually responds in 1-2 days. Also my car has been in production since 5/20. I ask him what the hold up is and he cant give me an answer. So not sure how any of this works. To be honest paying almost 100K for a car you would expects a better process. Just my two cents!
So true.
At this point, there's some people with 1000 higher VINs that have already gotten their cars. And some poor folks with 3000 lower VIN numbers who ordered more expensive cars than me, but still are in the queue along with my car.
And every time I come up with an explanation based off colors, options, destination, someone shows up says their car is in production and proves me wrong
Meanwhile, my DS just says "any day now smiley face" and it's been a week since that update. Smiley face. Smiley face indeed.
Thought you had left the forums... haven't seen any posts from you lately. Guess you've been enjoying the car too much!

Its ridiculous! I emailed my DS and told him to be straight with me. I told him that I rather him be honest and tell me the car will be 1 or 2 month late than for him to keep giving me false hope a weekly basis.So true.

Yeah, I think you are the earliest in this "batch". I'm somewhere in the middle, still waiting for a production notice, but i really enjoy following everyone's progress. I'm work in the car business and I deal everyday with people who are exited and/or anxious about getting their new vehicles. Though this wait is sometimes excruciating, I'm enjoying being on this side of the coin. It's the journey, right?

I tried calling the factory 15 minutes ago and got a voicemail prompt. Left one, and also forwarded my email communications to Tesla's main email line and asked for a different DS.
I just want answers in a reasonable timeframe, and accurate answers, not chains of broken promises and silence. *frustrated*

Picked up White Lightning this morning. She is a beauty. I told them not to prep paint because I was going straight to film,coating and window tint. I will post more pictures when she is finished.

The standard S seats are non leather. And I got the premium package which usually adds more leather. The wheel is also leather. They substitute it all during the build.

I live in Napa and I got Robust Detailing (robustd.com) to do it. Prices are on their website. I went with the Pro Plus, including glass and wheel option.

That's very Zen and probably the best approach. I've tried to keep my DS as an ally throughout this process because they're really the only source of information we have. If I bothered him as many times as I hit the refresh button, I'm sure he would've stopped returning my emails. Hope your patience is rewarded soon
