Model S P90D w/AP3.0
I've got to disagree. I talked with my DES on Monday about a TPMS warning message and a bit of dirt on the car when it got here. They're coming out to my house to service the TPMS system on Friday and are giving me a free detail job from a high-end detailer on Saturday. I've never gotten service that good from any other car company.
I ordered brown and I must say, great pix! Occasionally I second-guess myself, but a pic like this reassures me. I especially like the first one; the car has a vaguely maroon hint (lighting? reflections?) or something. Kinda cool!

Got my Canadian Signature Model S this morning at the Toronto Delivery Event. :biggrin:
The delivery event went as follows:
* Show up at 9am, review some paperwork - credit card authorization for winter tires (optional), storage of tires (optional) and licensing fee, hand over financing paperwork (which I pushed them for in advance - you will need drivers license, insurance info and all co-signers present if you do it on site), sign for EV rebate (you will need a void cheque if you want direct deposit)
* Get a tour of the car from top to bottom - also serves as a pre-delivery inspection to ensure everything works, takes about an hour
* Get license plates installed - they ran out of green plates at the MTO so I've got blues for now until Tesla gets word on green plate availability, given an option whether you want the front plate holder installed (I did)
* Get winter tires installed - took a bit longer than expected because they didn't have an impact driver until just as I was leaving
Took about 2.5 hours in total with a bit of waiting because there was only one tech on site to do tires and plates. Quite a few folks from the USA up to help make the delivery events happen. It's a very fluid process still as they work out the kinks. If you are financing please take the time to read over the documents carefully - my payment frequency was incorrect along with a suspicious interest rate entry. Met Doug_G as well just before he set off for Ottawa - hope to hear from him soon about how the ride went!
My TPMS sensor and windsheild washer warning light came on shortly after leaving. Will reach out and stop by tomorrow on the way to work. Gave four co-workers a test drive and showed it off to two others within minutes of getting to my client's office.
Due bill - parcel shelf and green plates. Will update with pics tonight once I get home and put in the Lloyd's Rubbertite floor mats.

I felt like I was going out on a limb with the brown, but got to say that it is quite striking and I've gotten many complements on the color. Works well in the desert but you need to keep it clean just like any dark car.
Not sure how many have been delivered, but a VIN above 3000 was posted and is supposed to be delivered before year's end. I would like to know how many signatures are left to be produced for Canada and Europe, since the 2013 red won't enter production until the last signature is produced.

Anyone know the highest VIN to be started/finished? I'm P3853 VIN 3062, but my car hasn't entered "assembly" yet. Even though I see VIN ~2700 getting specific delivery dates.
According to Tim's spreadsheet I have the only VIN above 3,000. Wondering if I 'just' made it over some arbitrary line. I was told last week that they were doing one last big push of VINs before the end of the year. I think I barely got mine.

Congratulations!!
Not being from Canada, I'm curious to know what the green plates mean. Are they like our HOV stickers in California, or something else? And if so, why in the hell is California so dumb?

I'm VIN 2808 and I'm picking my car up at the factory tomorrow (Friday) afternoon. Was very surprised to get it that quickly, since I only received the VIN on Tuesday evening. Got the call to pick up on Wednesday evening.
P#2050 delivered monday night... Chicago... is on spreadsheet, so I won't reiterate details. Not attaching pix because it looks just like Kishdude's, and his pictures say it all... Brown with Tan is a winner, I think. Driving impression: I was happy to get iPhone linked for audio, but I quickly turned it off, because I just get a kick out of hearing..... NOTHING!!!
Yeah, see, that's what I thought! Why do I have to festoon my car with stickers for HOV parking and use of public charging stations when the DMV could just issue a specific plate? I've done it for a decade now, but the S is a different beast than the EV-1 or the RAV4.
P51/VIN 1751 Car has been delivered! Everything everyone else has said, but this one is mine so it is even better. Missing items: parcel shelf/spoiler. Came with cubby shelf and front floor mats. Attached is a picture to start. I'm attaching a picture, but have found that pictures don't do this car justice. I find it is my better looking in person.

How much better is the gray in person? I'm just a few weeks from getting mine.
Haha, I think I'm biased, but I can't be happier with the selection. Smiles all around from the cheering section (family)! I also have to say that the fit and finish is miles ahead of the Amped event.
