    New Car Ordering Timeline

    If all holds true, my delivery will be 59 days after confirmation. Since they build cars in batches, how long your wait is highly depends on when in the quarter you ordered and where you live. I ordered near the beginning of the quarter while they were focusing on overseas builds. If I had...

    The poor kid got Teslafied

    That's easily the best explanation for the lack of grab handles I've seen so far.

    Whoa! Model S for kids now has the refreshed fascia!

    I put in my order July 31 and I got no notification about the upgraded battery (so I don't think I'm getting it), but I did get this particular email overnight. We chose the color to match my car, so it's exciting the styling will match now too!

    Current S & X OWNERS: What is your favorite currently available exterior color and WHY?

    I agonized over this as well. While I haven't lived with the choice for years yet, I feel your pain. I kept bouncing back and forth between the Obsidian Black Metallic, Deep Blue Metallic, and Midnight Silver Metallic for my 75D. In the end, I went with the Midnight Silver for a few reasons...

    Poll: Should I black out my MC Red?

    If you could get a chrome delete that matches that hyper black / gunmetal color; I'd think pretty hard about that. Chrome and blacked out aren't the only two options for trim. I saw a blue 100D that did a platinum chrome delete to match the wheels and it looked pretty great.

    75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?

    I'm starting to think that perhaps some of these codes should be added to the delivery spreadsheet for tracking purposes.

    75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?

    I also have BTX5 but DU00. Is DU01 perhaps the 75 vs DU00 the 75D? From what I was seeing elsewhere, I thought that DU00 was the new one. But I've also seen where people have said the drive unit didn't have a code before, so that would make DU00 and DU01 new?

    Financing at 1.49%

    SAS was my one hang-up too. It's the one option that, had it been available, I would have gladly paid for when I ordered my 75D. It didn't really bother me that it's included now. I just wish they'd have let me add it after-the-fact. C'est la vie. I expect that the cars improve over time...

    Financing at 1.49%

    That leads me to believe that it's incentive to clear out inventory models. It could also function as a bit of a consolation prize for those of us that ordered before the new standard features and package options were rolled out since they won't allow most of us to change to a new build...

    is base Model S 100D worth extra 23K

    Range doesn't necessarily mean fewer stops once you pass a certain threshold. But the larger capacity battery could potentially mean faster charging for the range you actually need. Since charging speed slows the closer you get to full, I wonder what the difference is in total travel time if...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Judging from the spreadsheet, even though it can only provide fuel for speculation, I'd say that it looks like mid to late June orders are starting to be built any day now (depending on delivery location). They do appear to batch cars together for ease of production and delivery. My...

    S75 orders showing a "Showroom Discount" after yesterday's changes?

    I've been told that you'll get what you order. I assume it's just that the web app that generates that spec sheet isn't flexible enough to show old versions of configurations.

    Thank you for the details!

    Spec Sheet Changed

    I noticed similarly that the "Black Leather Tesla Premium Seats" that's no longer available doesn't show up on my spec sheet either. It does seem to be a display issue with the spec sheet itself. I was also told that I'd get what I ordered along with the additional showroom discount.

    Pricing changes

    The only part I'm disappointed about is that if air suspension had been an option just a week earlier, I would have paid for it. That said, I know I'm going to love me car even as is. And I'm definitely happy to get the discount. I'm just a bit disappointed that I can't trade that discount in...

    That would put your VIN showing up about the same time as mine did. Maybe I just need to call sales directly.

    Pricing changes

    So I'm curious how you two are getting those answers while I'm getting the standard, "You'll have to cancel and lose your deposit" reply. Is your OA just that good? Did I just ask too late and Tesla has come down and stopped allowing this? With a 7/13 order and 7/16 confirmation, I'd think...

    New Options Being Included at no additional cost

    The responses I've gotten so far from my DS and OA have both said the car will come as ordered. There are people here who have said they were table to transfer their deposit to a new order, but everything I've gotten back so far is that they aren't doing that at all. For the people who have...

    For me, it's really about the air suspension. If it was offered as an option when I ordered, I would have paid for it. About a week after my order, it's not only available, it's standard. It's a little frustrating since the available options feels pretty arbitrary. There doesn't appear to be...

    S75 orders showing a "Showroom Discount" after yesterday's changes?

    There are some people who have managed to get their deposit transferred to a new order and the only "penalty" was essentially just losing their place in line for production. I've been emailing my OA as well, and he gave me the same answer as yours so far. But right now I'm guessing that's the...

    That'd be pretty awesome, but right now I expect that there's a lot more focus on the M3 part of the factory, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if delivery dates change in either direction. Granted this isn't their first production vehicle going through the factory, but estimating can still be...

    Pricing changes

    I'm actually considering doing the same with my 7/13 order 7/16 confirmation date. I have an email to my OA to see. Right now, my estimated delivery is around mid-September, so back of the line I'm assuming would push into October. But, the site still has September delivery listed in the...

    S75 orders showing a "Showroom Discount" after yesterday's changes?

    My account also shows the Showroom Discount now. I had ordered on July 13th.
