Hi everyone, here is some positive news -- John will create a new thread in the vendor forum where he posts his whole backlog including the items shown below. This will be added to a new thread on the forum tonight or tomorrow:
1) Name of customer or 'name withheld' if the customer doesn't want his/her name listed
2) Date paid for parts
3) Parts left to ship
4) Parts about to ship
5) Parts still left to produce
Finally he'll also include the number of Tesla clients whose orders have been completely filled. The list will be sorted by customers who ordered/paid first, and generally he'll try to keep production and deliveries in that order. I do know in Felix's case that John had been waiting for a part from another vendor which further delyed the order. Perhaps he can add "6) Notes" to mention things like that. Anyway, the list will be in a place on John's vendor thread where we can see it at anytime and check our status, he'll be updating it at least once per week. I think this is a very positive step and hope that it helps his business as well as restores a bit of confidence for people still waiting for their parts.
