Wow i thought 9 months was bad, multi year is definitely hard core committed.
Once we have the cars in our hands the painful waiting pangs will be ancient history
3 years and 9 months on the wait list for my Model S...2 years is child's play!

I've got you beat by a few days. February 9th. At the launch event. (I thought the online ordering opened up the next day, on the 10th.)

How do I find my exact date? I know it was February 2012 sometime. I upgraded to the signature reservation at some point. It would be fun to know the exact dates. I've lost tract, it's been so long.

Well, to be fair, I've been driving a Roadster every day.

Technically I think I have a lot of you beat.
I originally reserved Model S2138 on June 10th of 2010. But then I saw the Model X & being 6'7" I gave Tesla a second reservation for the X before getting a refund for the S. In total my Tesla wait has been over 5 years. Currently 1804 days. In the mean time I'm stuck in a Leaf with over 40k miles on it. :-(
But, working towards buying a Tesla has been one of the best things I done in my life. Because of that goal, I've found ways to more than double my salary in 5 years, work towards A+ credit from bad credit and it taught me to save, save, save. I even bought a cheap house at the bottom on the real-estate market to offset the monthly payment on a Tesla a few years ago. Now it's gone up so much in value that were selling it & building a new house for the Model X to come home to.

I am right there with you. Our reservation was placed the evening of the event - we are #20X

The event was February 9th, 2012. Not the 13th. Tesla took reservations at the event from people attending (if you remembered your checkbook ... -ahem- AO). Online reservations opened up during the day on February 10th.
Hey, I still had an AMEX on hand! Still a lil bitter you ditched me to go line-squat.

Bonnie,

If I remember I had some issues with my reservation, so the official date of my reservation listed with Tesla Motors is Feb 13th. But I completed the online form for within the first 30 min on the first day the Gen Pop was allowed to reserve, (I'm not a Roadster owning baller that got invited to the event
). Then I had to yell at Tesla to get a concrete early reservation number (Really a Sequence Number) because I had to wire money not use use a Credit card, not a point in time I like to revisit. I actual remember the online form became available 10 min early. I believe the official availability time was at 12 noon PT or 3pm ET.

Since it was implied that Feb. 13th was the first day available, I only wanted to correct that small fact. I had/have no doubt you were in the first wave of online reservations. And yep, was at noon on that Friday.

Amateur. They don't take cards for large transactions. And I'm still a lil bitter that you didn't come keep me company.
Bonnie inspired me to look up my reservation date... 9/27/13. So I MAY get my X less than 2 years from reservation date...but not holding my breath.
OMG, it just dawned on me. My reservation number may come up (if I'm lucky) by December 2015, maybe Jan/Feb 2016 as a worse-case scenario. If the worse-case scenario occurs, it will be 4 years since I put down my deposit! Talk about forward planning...
If any of you want to feel even more depressed, just think of what your deposit would be now had it been placed in Tesla stock instead.
Haha, for me it's worse because I almost took my sig deposit out to do the same. I even remember emailing with someone at Tesla (staying unnamed) to ask if the X was still on track or if it was delayed so that I could figure out if I'm better off taking it out... Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda.
