Well I had the official "Yes you're delayed two weeks" conversation with my DS, with 26-september as my official new delivery date. *But*, he did say that production was definitely picking up the pace and the actual delay could be as little as a few days from my original 12-september. He anticipates Hobbes will be going into production the week of September 8th, although he was careful not to make any promises. I'm financing through them and he also said they'll do their best to avoid me having to re-apply if we go a few days over the 30.
My vacation week off is September 29th through October 3rd, so I'll still be in good shape if they can make the 26th. I'm just doing a staycation with lots of area driving and a few overnight trips planned (e.g. p-town and sampling the new Sagamore Bridge supercharger!) so while of course a bit disappointed I'm feeling upbeat overall and ready to keep myself distracted in the meantime. Just a few more weeks!
Sorry to hear about the delay. The word hasn't come from my DS yet, but I was scheduled later than you (Sept. 24). Thus, there is always the chance Tesla will catch-up by then.
I haven't scheduled anything else (other than electrical work). So there is no real deadline, like a 30-day financing window, that I have to worry about. Of course, eventually I will have to get the financing lined-up, but I'm waiting for now. In, addition, I plan on immediately dropping the car off for a clear bra installation and modesta or opticoat installation, but my detailer isn't too worried about an exact time yet.
In other words, I'm trying not to get to attached my delivery date.:wink:
As a side note, I'm waiting around for my current car too. I took it to the dealer back on July 30 to get two door locks fixed (I have had every lock go bad multiple times), an oil change and a tire rotation. It took them until August 20 to get my car back to me. Then I had the car a day when I realized that ants had invaded my car while they left it sitting outside for three weeks. The next day, I realized that they had damaged one of my doors while the car was being fixed. Of course, I brought back. It then took them two more days to decide they had damaged the door, and now my car is at the body shop, which will probably take another 3-5 days to complete. Once the car is back at the dealership, they have to do the detail work to get the ants out. I figure I won't see the car again until September 3 or 4, roughly five weeks after I first brought it in. At least I have a loaner, but my car has HOV access license plates and the loaner doesn't. Thus, I've been sitting in a lot more traffic. Simply put, I can't wait to get my Tesla already!
). Now I'll have to pay for my own trip to Austin. Maybe I'll do a trade with Autonation and just drive my own car down. I purposefully waited a while before submitting for a quote from them, now I'm glad I did. One day additional delay and I'll have to do it again. Haven't started the loan process yet, though, and now I'm thinking I might wait another week just in case.
