Got a VIN assigned to my sig today: 776 for Sig 1058
Original delivery date: 10/14 - 10/28, new delivery window: 11/7 - 11/21

Can't wait for the final delivery date (please let it be by the 10th of November so I can fulfill some ride promises at Pixar!)

 

[wms]

Got my VIN today as well! VIN 754 for Sig 633. Delivery to Santa Fe, NM still 10/31 - 11/14, but according to my delivery specialist a new window will most likely be assigned. Can't Wait!!

 

[timdorr]

Woah, that's a bunch of VINs in the 700's. I think we're going to see our first 800+ report this weekend! They're definitely pushing to start the production models right around the earnings call so they can report some good news to everyone. That call is going to be *very* interesting.

I look forward to seeing your car driving around town! I'm sure I will be one of those that will force some "Tesla Time" on you as I rave about how incredible your car is. I apologize in advance. Congratulations.

As an early "P", I am cautiously optimistic that my window (early - mid Nov) will be met. Make me eat my words ... please ...

I'm guessing you're a "glass is almost full" kind of guy, even if the glass is just wet from being washed. :biggrin:

If you read what Sig owners are posting above (eg, mid November for not the last Sig), it's looking like Dec for you. As an R holder, I'm still not expecting my car before Thanksgiving.

 

[MikeK]

Yeah, I'm still holding out a bit of hope as an R holder in the Bay Area, just because I know that a lot of Sigs will be going on trucks with added logistics delays, while I'm planning factory delivery, so I would expect that some factory R deliveries might happen while some Sigs are still en route. Here's hoping!!

 

[daripalli]

Hey guys, i was just wondering, based on things you may have heard, when do you think i will be getting my P524? I called my rep and he said late nov to early dec.

I think that's when you'll be hearing about your delivery range. I would expect some time in December more realistically.

 

[sublimaze1]

I think that's when you'll be hearing about your delivery range. I would expect some time in December more realistically.

I'd say you are 70-30, maybe even 80-20 on getting the 2012 Tax break.

Cautiously optimistic (roughly translated) = not holding my breath

I'd be surprised if it was earlier than mid dec.

Sorry to make you eat your words, but I'm Sig 371, have no VIN, no reply other than "see George B's email" and that they "guess" my delivery window is mid to late November. This is pushed back from Early Sept, to late Sept, to Late October, now to mid November. Oh yeah, configured back on May 31st. Serenity now.....

Your configuration is 100% identical to mine. I was wondering if there was another out there like it.

Deposit confirmed Feb 22
Cleared Signature Waitlist May 22
Got config notice June 22
Original MVPA estimate "October 2012"
Original Delivery window began Oct 22

(With all these 22's I'm reminded of the movie "Lost in America" and I'm wondering if I should hit the roulette wheel.)

The big difference is that you made your first deposit almost a year before I did. Last word is that I'll get car before the end of November.
But I'm hoping for before 11/22 since that is Thanksgiving.

Congrats & Enjoy!

What option do you have that could have potentially held up your car? I still think mid December is when I will get mine, maybe a little later and it will be stuffed down my chimney. I'd really like a Christmas time factory pickup event. please

Has any TX deliveries happened? Or maybe legal is holding it up.
