S75D 174,XXX early Dec '16 build and late Dec '16 delivery. I was told I was ineligible by my Salt Lake City service center.

I have a pretty early delivery window for a Model 3 but I'll most likely pass on ordering one altogether. I was hoping for, but not really expecting, air suspension. Unfortunately that's a deal breaker for me and my driveway so I think our next Tesla will be another Model S.

I feel you and I've certainly been there! I just didn't want you to worry about missing out on the tax credit. One more note: because of the way the credit is applied you have to have more than $7500 in tax liability in order to get the full credit even if you qualify for a $7500 credit. So...

Hubcaps? I'm sure the Model 3 has rims not hubcaps. If you're trying to keep the cost low then new rims probably isn't the place to spend your money. You'll also need to decide if your tire/rim choice is worth the decrease in range. Choosing tires/rims can have a bigger impact on long distance...

Just a note, the tax credit continues long after the threshold of 200,000 EVs are sold by Tesla. For example, if the 200,000th tesla is sold in April of 2018, anyone who buys a tesla through the end of that quarter, 2018 Q2, and all of the following quarter, 2018 Q3, are eligible for the full...

Personally, I have no anxiety about picking up my car and do not really care how versed my delivery specialist is. I haven't heard a single story that ended with "and they wouldn't fix it!!!" and I've spent the last month living and breathing the forums, subreddit, and you tube videos so unless...

My car didn't leave production until it was in transport even though my Delivery Specialist confirmed it was complete. There have been other people that have reported their dashboard still said their car was in production when they picked it up. What does your Delivery Specialist say?

@bakchod87 You should talk to your Owner Advisor and ask them if you can still get the cloth seats with the Premium Package. When my brother ordered his P85D at the end of 2015, he was allowed to order the cloth seats and the premium package by having it noted on the order. Things inevitably...

reddit just suggested this one, which looks pretty thorough, and new: Things to check when you pick up your Tesla the one I'm used to seeing is outdated but sound and thorough: Tesla Model S Buyers', Delivery and Owners' Guide

That sounds great. If I get stuck, I know who to call! ;)

True enough! We're scheduled for delivery this Saturday @ 4pm. Backtracking just a bit, @kg7jo-, I bought the front license plate removal tool a while back but I really appreciate your offer to lend yours out! How hard was it to get the glue off?

When I checked this morning at 3:30a PST my car was officially in transport. My DS wants to deliver on Monday but had promised last night if it was in transport by this morning I could have it on Saturday. I am 100% insisting that he keep to that timeline, since Monday is a snarl of overlapping...

Lookin' good! But, I won't like, it took me a solid 10 seconds to figure out what part of your car that second picture was.

Good tip! I might make another run to the service center before I take delivery to grab some center caps for my winter rims, and if I do then I'll count up the types. I asked permission to walk around the lot and be nosey. They were fine with it but asked that I didn't touch the cars, which I...

A surprising number of new Tesla's waiting to be delivered in SLC @ the service center. Mine isn't there, but it should be soon!

hey @kg7jo-, didn't you take delivery yesterday too? Where are those sweet, sweet delivery photos at?

Must be nice! :) Some people have been in production longer than that, the poor souls :\

Last night at 9:33p PST I received an email that production is complete. My Dashboard, however, still says the car is in production but my delivery window "tightened" from Late Dec - Early Jan to Dec 22 - Jan 5.

I got my email about an hour after I first noticed my car entered production. I checked when I woke up at ~3am PST and my car wasn't in production. Checked again at ~4:30am PST and the car was in production. Got the email at 5:21am PST. It's weird that everyone has such different experiences...

Just use the backup camera :)

@RobW2428 nice buildout; I love the blue!

Glad to hear you didn't have to wait on my car to finish production! How long will your car have been in transit? My DS hopes we'll see my car by next Friday since it should complete production today or tomorrow.

It's your lucky day. The ventilated seats just dropped in the S60 today

I'm the weirdo that doesn't want ventilated seats and prefers cloth over leather. My car just went into production today so I'm interested to find out if I'll get the old-style textile seats or the next-gen textile seats.

I should probably just work on making over $600k to help out my accountant ;)

Yeah, I saw yours go into production on the spreadsheet and was totally hopeful that mine would go into production the same day but alas! My Delivery Specialist expects me to be able to pick up between Dec 23rd - Dec 27th depending on how long my car sits before transport. I hope for your sake...

I haven't filed my 2016 taxes yet, so I'll let my accountant sort that out, but I guess I didn't realize that Form 8911 didn't sidestep AMT the way the $7500 credit does. Thanks for the point out! While I may have decided to opt for a lower amperage install to my garage without the tax break...

My Tesla page just updated to say I'm in production. Ordered 11/16 Confirmed 11/17 VIN Assigned 11/17 In Production 12/13 Shipping to Salt Lake City, UT Pearl White 60D, Cloth Seats, Black Headliner, Carbon Fiber, Sunroof, EAP, Premium, Subzero Weather, Air Suspension. Assuming I take...

Smart! I wouldn't really benefit for off-peak hour charging from my electric company since they only offer discounted pricing in the summer or I might have considered going the same route with separate metering for the garage.

I paid the extra money for the higher amperage purely because of the tax break. Until I hit 3k in expense, including the HPWC, I knew I'd get a tax rebate for 30% of the cost. I also have single chargers, but figured I might as well future proof my garage since I'll definitely be adding a Model...

That is crazy expensive! I'm having my service upgraded to accommodate a new 100A breaker and 90A service to the HPWC. My breaker box has to be replaced, a new service line dropped from the pole to my house, about 30 feet of cable run from the box to where I want the HPWC installed, and all city...

Mine also shows nothing but I've never seen the in production message. I've been watching your car quite closely since I'm also taking delivery in SLC.
