40 kWh Delivery Timing

[Jenni]

Arondaniel, The sales lady in DC with whom I test dove the car in December called me yesterday. She remembered I wanted a 40. She also mentioned something about how she heard I chatted with corporate on Friday, and that I had decided to wait a month or two, but she didn't want me to miss out in case I had missed the press release.
I figured they were doing this for everyone. I guess not!
i can't imagine they could make 800 of the 40s in one month to deliver all of them by June. I prefer to get the car in Fall, but I'm now flexible on this.

I just responded to Tesla's email regarding the cancelled 40kwh. Called and told them to proceed with the 40kwh with no changes. I did receive the name of my delivery specialist and was told production would be 2nd week in May. Good enough.

I'm sticking with my 40kwh order...might look into this new financing program though....

 

[shokunin]

Same here, sticking with the 40kw.

Also sticking with the 40. I have no need for the range of the 60. I can buy a lot of plane tickets for 12k.

agreed, called yesterday to let them know I'm sticking with the 40 and was told I should expect delivery around the second week of May

Great, I'm 8467, so I should be the second week of May also. Thanks for the info !

 

[fluxemag]

Maybe they will just crank us all out the same week or two.

 

[Chuck Lusin]

They really should get caught back up on old orders!

In light of the recet 40kwh announcement, I'm a little unsure what to make about this statement.

40 kWh battery modules are on schedule to start phasing into battery production in March. They will work their way to the vehicle production line in April and will begin final assembly into cars by the end of April. Customer deliveries will begin at the end of April or the first half of May...not "later this summer."

Given that the 40kwh battery never entered mass production, I'm not sure what to make of this.

I was told over the phone that the 40K's (aka 60's) are slated to be produced in April, delivery by mid-end of May.


I'm glad to be the 4%!

I guess my point was that the "official line" was that the batteries were being made and should be going into the cars pretty much now. With the recent announcement, we found out that 40kwh batteries were never made (in quality - I'm sure there are engineering prototypes).

I was just told late May. Same as when I asked two weeks ago... the end is in sight!!!

Yea, the 40's are the 1%ers of the Tesla crowd!

The day after I finalized my 40 late on Monday, I got the emailed paperwork to esign. The Instructions outlined several (~6) places to sign, but I think I only had to sign twice and initial once. When I clicked "done", the screen never changed and I never got an email confirming that I signed my paperwork. I called my sales rep today and she said it takes a couple of days to get that email. Curious:
How long did it take you to get confirmation and a res number?

looks like they are promising all 800 of us our cars in May!

 

[shokunin]

that was your pre-MVPA. It takes a couple of a days. You'll get another MVPA with your VIN and final numbers once the car is in the build process.

When I called Tesla yesterday they told me that my 40 kwh car would be done "late May". I asked about my reservation sequence of P57XX and the rep said the sequence numbers are pretty much irrelevant now since the cars are entering production so quickly these days. My guess is that timing for our cars is pretty much dependent upon the luck of the batching. Yours may batch earlier or later. Hopefully, if I rub my rabbit's foot enough mine will be earlier.

I'm not sure the sequence numbers were ever relevant.

I still never got a pre mvpa after signing the online docs, But I have confirmed with my sales lady that I am in the system. They even called corporate for me to make double sure, and when they called, they got an updated delivery. I was told that my May – June delivery will actually be about two months later than that, meaning July or August, I presume.

Just spoke w/Tesla.

40's being submitted very soon to be built....hopefully Mid-May Delivery (mine at least :biggrin
