delivery dates for model s in the UK

[phil612]

I'm number 20 in the UK, placed my reservation in August 2009 (P118). Confirmed specs last December and have been told "Early June", Performance 85.

@phil612 probably worth checking, I was told late May, it's now early July

 

[phil612]

@jontracey - hope not, we're only back in the UK for a few months then off again VIN seq. 35709

 

[jontracey]

Looks like you are ahead of me, mine is still showing as a reservation number. Spoke to them last week, scheduled to come off the line in late May, delivery early July

 

[phil612]

Says "We have begun sourcing parts for your Model S."

 

[jontracey]

Same for me but no vin number I can see, just one beginning RN which I assume is reservation number

Well, I did put my deposit down in 2009

@Phil612. My VIN no is around 300 earlier than yours and I have been told early June as well (was May). I think they build around 300 / week? so it may not mean much as our cars may well both end up on the same ship so get delivered at the same time.

Thanks @Alan, fingers crossed.

I've just been told that people ordering air suspension are getting priority - so in my case (seq 192) that means July if I stick with coil suspension, or June if I upgrade to air.

LOL, great way to inflate the cost... (pun)

I would think twice before doing this, since the coil suspension reportedly has sharper chassis dynamics. If that is more important to you than a softer ride and auto leveling you will be glad you waited another month.

Yes, I think I'm going to stick with the coil.

People from Hong Kong and Japan (both have Right Hand Drive) also told that they will receive their Tesla Model S in June or July this year.

I have a VIN number now, delivery still says late may however I was told in email from tesla a couple of weeks ago that it was likely to be end of June early July, so one step forward etc

I have had a VIN since march ( 38XXX ) but the dashboard is still showing the dreaded "sourcing parts for your tesla" . If we are to see any deliveries before Mid June in the UK there should be a few of us showing "in production" by now. Any updates from the waiting list ?

Yup, same here, my VIN is 35709 and mine still shows "sourcing parts", I was told June delivery (I'm abroad at the moment but due to return in June, I have already sold my previous car in anticipation of delivery).

I spoke to one of the UK guys on Thursday last week since my dashboard page had changed to show my "preferred delivery" to be August which was not something I had done! He said that it was a problem with eh website, but that my car (VIN37065) was still showing as exiting production during week commencing 28th April (this week) and adding 8 weeks to that means I should see my car late June, early July. Not sure whether that makes sense or not since my status is still "sourcing parts".

 

[phil612]

Update.. looks like mine is now being built.

 

[jontracey]

cool, I am quite a few Vin's behind you but should go into production soon
