I wonder how many threads are on this and the TM board asking the question - "buy now or wait." There will always be something new. The earliest adopters did not get parking sensors or folding mirrors, but they do have the signature logo. Maybe newer versions will have blind spot detection and...

VIN 44493 - delivery scheduled for at the Marietta (Atlanta) Service Center 6/26 @ 2:00 p.m.

@sbonie - Thank you for the assist. Today the major automobile manufacturers are courting and wooing Tesla for a uniform global EV platform. Elon Musk is proving that an American automaker is beating the Mercedes, BMW, Toyota, Nissan, and Honda of the world at that their own game with 1% of the...

@LucM - do what I did. What videos about the car on YouTube and keep reminding yourself that before long, that will be you.

I read every one of these postings, and the consensus is that we are thrilled and excited over the purchase. Tesla does not have a sales staff. TM has Owner's Advisors. The car sells itself, and the potential purchaser needs to know what works best for them. If I lived in Michigan like Pilot...

benemac - I ordered and confirmed May 3rd. I got lucky because had I confirmed a few days later, I would be into late July. The ghost of Nikola Tesla was watching out for me. Your DS is looking at screens and has a pretty good idea when your car will hit the production line. I saw people with...

@LineofSight - there has been thread after thread after thread on whether to get dual chargers or not. There was a great article on Teslarati about it if you want to read it. I have the HPWC in my house which means that I had to have a 100 amp installed AND GOT THE DUAL CHARGERS. TM gave me...

@LucM - My car went into production yesterday, so I am two or so weeks out from delivery since I am in Tennessee. What is amazing about the purchasing process for buying a Tesla is that people get the car the way that they want it and not the way that some dealership sales manager thinks will...

@wamochi and maxwells - It looks like Mother Tesla has gone into premature labor. My OB/GYN (DS) told me not to expect contractions to begin until next week. I hope that mother and child do well, but like all expectant fathers, I have started pacing the floor. When the pencil was available...

@wamochi - I am pretty sure that the DS knows exactly what is going on and not for you to rely on the dashboard. It is his job to keep track of the cars assigned to him. Your rationale for choosing the S60 was completely logical, especially living in SD. Being in TN, the choosing the 85 was a...

@wamochi - guess who changes the screen from sourcing to "in production" - it is your DS. Since y'all have already discussed the delivery times, he probably has not changed your dashboard yet. My VIN is 44493 and factoring in that I am 500 cars behind you and the travel time to Tennessee, I...

@wamochi - Have you gotten your MVPA yet? According to my DS, I am still scheduled for a 6/30 delivery date, and I should have the MVPA a week to 10 days before delivery. Once that I start seeing final paperwork and transferring funds, then the excitement really begins. And do not worry about...

@roblab - there are people who could not believe that I am going from a Bentley Continental GT to a Tesla Model S. My answer was that it was the easiest decision that I ever made.

@meteoritehunter - I have a countdown app on my iPhone until the day and second that the car arrives. My wife is limiting me to 5 Tesla YouTube videos per day and has instructed me not to say the word Tesla at any dinner table. Being 18 days out, the wait is agonizing. What is amazing about...

It seemed strange that some people would be days away from delivery of their car yet their My Tesla dashboard still said "sourcing parts." UNLESS the dashboard is manually controlled by the DS, there is no way that this makes sense. Otherwise, the delivery date would also change. I became...

I am going to keep my hits under 30 per day, but it will be close. Thanks for the warning, but I do have a life. It is called Tesla.

I confirmed May 3rd (S85) VIN 44493 and still sourcing with a car headed for TN. Congrats, AJW.

@AJW - I am still sourcing.... maybe my dashboard will flip soon.

AJW - you are a better man than I Gunga Din. Last night, I was at a dinner reception and at the table was a couple who had an earlier Model S (VIN 92++). Anyway, for three hours, the entire conversation was "Tesla." We talked about everything from service to features to tricks of the car. I...

@AJW - If they are producing 700 per week, then that is 2800 over a 4 week period. So if they are 3K down a month before delivery, it is a push but not unreasonable push, especially since it is critical for TM to get as many cars delivered as possible in the 2Q. I do have a question - how many...

@AJW - it would not surprise me if both of our vehicles are probably on the same carrier headed east bound. Since the Nashville service center is not open yet, my car gets to visit Atlanta, goes through final quality control and then put on a second carrier for delivery to me in Music City USA...

I am VIN 44493 and my DS is projecting a 6/30 delivery to Tennessee. Yes, we do have electricity here, mainly because of country music. Anyway, if the VIN numbers are any indication and comparing it to delivery dates, it looks like the factory is now at a 100 car per day production clip.

@AJW - glad to see that you have the cherished VIN and that the dashboard changed to late June. I have been routinely communicating with my Owners Advisor. He said that my car was scheduled to be on the line the week of 6/16 (obviously looking at the screens once the VIN is assigned), that the...

@Middkid - the "E-TKT" analogy is outstanding and clever for a plate. I got my confirmation from TN for my vanity plate Friday, and believe me, I was not that original. Mine is SLTESLA, which is my initials plus Tesla. The plate should ready about the same time as I take delivery of the car...

The anticipated delivery date has reappeared. Elvis has re-entered the building.

My delivery date is MIA also; but I have never even spoken to a delivery specialist. I have been emailing my sales adviser fairly regularly, and he said that my car was scheduled to be off the production line the week of June 16th. Assuming that it is completed by end of the week (June 21) and...

I have a question. My delivery date had been showing "Late June" on my dashboard. Now, the delivery date has disappeared. Obviously, there is some movement as to the cycle of the delivery of the car. Does this mean anything?

Since y'all are keeping a tally, I am VIN 44493; ordered and confirmed 5/3/2014. My dashboard is showing a late June delivery.

I should probably be getting my delivery date very soon. I ordered and confirmed on May 3, 2014, and my VIN is 44493. I am 292 cars behind you.... since the 29th is on a Sunday, I should probably get my car that week also.

I concur... both my wife and I saw the pictures posted and were amazed how good a brown car could look so good

Thank you for breaking the code for me. I got my VIN last night (5/12) and my sequence was the same as yours with the production number 44493.

A Model S is a Model S..... just look for how it is configured, and do not be concerned with the minute differences

I confirmed May 3rd, and I just got my VIN about 9:00 p.m. CDT last night (44493). I have not heard from the delivery specialist, but the sales representative told me that the car is scheduled to be off the line June 16th and to expect delivery ten days after that.

My plate is in TN SLTESLA
