    No recent VIN assignments?

    Thx for sharing your observations. I'm in the unpopular Silver group and noticed we are getting no love based on the delivery strategy. Of the 11 "owner" rows on the tracker who indicated Silver Metallic color, only 2 have received VINs so far (both in store 31-Mar-16 orders), on 12-Jan, the...

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

    Hey all...I just got back from two trips out of country and had 3rd world wifi on the last trip. I plan to catch up on google doc and first post updates tonight, assuming nothing else comes up and @KaJu74 and @Alain don't beat me to it. I am also going to ask the Mods to update the title of...

    Delivery disappointment ... then the car!

    Based on comments here, I think the safe advice is to avoid end of quarter delivery, or be prepared for a sh!t show. I would have made the same decision absent of this story, tho. Who wants to wait 2 extra weeks for the coolest car on earth? That all said, I also agree the DS did a great...

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

    Some "total days" statistics OK, in an exported copy of the master spreadsheet, I added some "total days" columns, but our data is tremendously dirty, with lots of blanks for a lot of folks. In order to make this table more useful, I filtered on US orders only, filtered out anyone who didn't...

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

    Thanks for the feedback @gpetti; after publishing I realized I had made two errors in those stats (which I had avoided in an earlier version and then reintroduced in my failed attempts to get a pivot table to paste cleanly into a TMC comment): 1. I had meant to filter out any people who had...

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

    Yeah, I'm thinking of charting over time, too. A long time member shared a very cool production chart from early Tesla days which we now have enough data points to produce...more to come as time allows...anyone else with fast spreadsheet charting skills is welcome to take a shot at it!

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

    Q1 Order time - by country and Performance vs Non-perf I ran a pivot table from our google spreadsheet to get order stats for all delivered vehicles so far, broken down by perf vs. non-perf. That part was pretty easy, but copying from Excel to TMC in a readable format wasted 45 minutes of my...

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

    Not necessarily. It flips to this status after production completes, and, in my case, showed that status before it got loaded on a truck and after it got delivered to me. So, I think this status could mean anything between post production complete and pick-up at your delivery location. Your...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I picked mine up today, in Marietta, GA, a day ahead of scheduled pick-up (car was ready and new winter storm may be hitting us tomorrow). Pictures posted on the Q1 2014 Delivery thread: Model S Order Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014 - Page 48

    Thanks @ScottieLV. Good to hear the update from you and note that you are on track and may even see your car the day before scheduled pick-up! I'm in the same boat now, and my dashboard still says my care is being prepared for delivery, which is inaccurate according to my DS. Last update from...

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

    I think it's fine to keep the all together for now, so long as one of our Q2 group are willing to take over the updates to the new tab! I will probably lose interest in keeping the first post updated (as it is, I update it every couple of days) when my car arrives, but I think it is nice having...

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

    I emailed back and forth with my DS today, and he confirmed my car was in transit, despite what the website status reflects, and it should reach the service center by Friday or Saturday, so I am on track for Tuesday morning pickup, with a slight chance of Monday afternoon. I may have filled the...

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

    I see this as good news and bad news for the rest of us patiently waiting! First the bad news - if @GregH is pushed back, and he's in San Fran, I have to believe the current delays are more around production than around transportation/weather (which means everyone may be affected by this...

    Uggh...mine doesn't show "in transit" yet to Marietta, GA, but I also haven't gotten any word from my DS about possible delays to my 11-Feb scheduled pick-up. I was told by someone in the service center (whom I ordered all weather floor mats from) that the transportation time from factory to...

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

    My DS confirmed they have the floor mats in stock in the Marietta showroom, so I will call them today and purchase them. I also found out from Hugh, the guy who replied to my online store email, that they won't have a version of the front trunk mat which fits the latest Model S builds (VIN >...

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

    Great, thanks for the advice! I've emailed them about both the floor mats (out of stock) and front trunk mat (which apparently won't fit cars with VINs greater than 21270. I'll see what they say. I did go ahead and order the rear cargo mats and also asked my DS if the local showroom sells any...

    Thanks @2virgule5! My son was grateful for the feedback on his art, and I got a kick out of your good memory around why I was "driven" to upgrade from a Prius to a Tesla! If at all possible, I will have a rematch with that Leaf driver! Maybe I'll make it a 91 mile drag race, just to rub it...

    I got my first official picture of my Model S today.

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

    @2vrigule5 - do you recall the date you submitted your order? I do think it is strange your VIN came so much later than mine, so I was wondering if VINs get assigned in order date order versus confirm date order. Even so, you couldn't have been that far behind me, since I confirmed only 2 days...

    Has anyone received a production status update since 17-Jan?

    Thanks @jayzaqt. That is promising news. I'm VIN 29458, so I have to believe (or at least hope) my car's not too far behind yours...hopefully early next week. My delivery is scheduled for 11-Feb, in Marietta, GA, but I suspect it might be delayed, unless they crank my car out completely next...

    Has anyone received a production status update since 17-Jan?

    We are tracking Q1 delivery status in another thread, and, at the time of this post, we have not had a report of production completion since 7-Jan, and have not heard anyone starting production since 17-Jan, despite 4 members who started production from 1 to 2 weeks ago and have not finished...

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

    I should clarify...we are tracking "start" and "end" dates by when the status changes from "Order Confirmed" to "The Tesla factory is building your ... Model S" and from that to "Production is complete...". So, when you notice the status change, just report the date you noticed that. In my...

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

    That makes sense for delivery date to be managed manually by the DS who is scheduling it, but production start and stop should be somewhat automatic, if connected to their production/inventory system(s). Haven't seen any updates on start or stop since 17-Jan, and yet 4 cars have started...

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

    It actually *seems* like there's one guy updating everyone's dashboard data, and he's busy this week keying in all the new VINs, and when he's done with that, he'll get around to updating everyone's production start/end and delivery dates! Yeah, I know Tesla is a cutting edge technology...

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

    Based on our data, it looks like they may do two major batches per month...one around the 7th and the other around the 21st. We'll see if the next big batch comes all at once around 7-Feb.

    @JaredBanyyard - your car looks great, both under the cover and undressed...congrats! When you are able to take a break from driving (or just admiring) your new car, do you mind posting an update on the Q1 order tracker, so @KaJu74 can get our master tracker updated? Congrats again!
