It's known that some cars don't pass quality control and are held back for reworking or in the worst case scrapped and a different car is started. I'd suggest that the later you get your car, the fewer problems you are likely to have.
I think the problem that Tesla has in communicating this kind of news is:
1. There isn't a good communications channel between the factory floor and the DS.
2. If told that their car is going back for major reworking, a lot of folks would say, "No, I want a good car".
Yes, but in the case of being held back for quality issues, you have a VIN, right? I was under the impression VINs were assigned as a body in white was tagged for your build and starts down the line. In our cases we have no VIN yet.
Brismyth - I feel for you. That's completely inexplicable in your case, and it's the inexplicability of it all that makes it so frustrating. Here's hoping your brother let's you take it for a spin or two while you wait.
I keep telling myself that's it's for the best, that I really didn't want a rushed car, that a 2013 will have higher Kelly Blue Book resale, and who knows, maybe Obama will get that $10,000 EV credit. I know, I know... that last one is a long shot, but it's what I need to get through these days and weeks of waiting.
