Sounds like my experience as well. I hope these local Tesla folks are right and they get all these cars made and delivered in 2017... I'll be picking up in Pittsburgh (Wexford).

I'm not remotely concerned about getting my car by then. I am slightly concerned that they will be pushing them out so fast that the car might not meet Telsa's legendary delivery quality experience. (and yes, that bar is set pretty low)

Yeah, thats another worry. Im over 80 miles from my service center so small issues and fixes will be inconvenient for me to bring in to be fixed. I just want to take advantage of the tax credit by taking delivery in 2017. The credit may be eliminated sooner than later....

I ordered a model S75D ordered on October 27, confirmed on October 30. I too was worried about delivery this year since my account lists delivery as lat January early February. I emailed my DS and he stated that the car is expected to start production in early Dec with a plan for delivery in late Dec. I think I will wait another week and email my DS again to see if there are any updates. Waiting Sucks!!

I bet you get before 12/31. Plenty of 3rd quarter 9/1 orders delivered before 10/1. Can’t go by the my tesla guesstimate

Im right there with you, order confirmed on Oct 29th.... Still listing my delivery range as Jan-Feb 2018. Do you have a VIN assigned yet?
Thanks for the update! I ordered that same time! I really would love to have it before the holidays

Other than the tax credit, I'm happy enough getting it later, as that increases my chances of getting any crazy cool physical updates that are in the pipeline. Having said that.. I got a VIN a couple of nights ago, so things seem to be moving forward in a minor way, anyway.

Ordered Sept 30. Confirmed Oct.
Has ALWAYS showed Late Nov / early Dec - the DS told me yesterday to expect it first or second week of December for delivery.
Nice little Christmas present -

I order 4 days after you. The DS mentioned today that the vehicule was in "pre production" and should be assembled soon. Expected delivery still around Christmas. But then I'm on the East coast so transit probably adds 2 weeks easily.

Interesting. Wonder if specs have anything to do with it.. (seeing how the apparently do color runs at the same time and that sort of thing.) Or maybe they make Ss, then Xs, with specific battery packs all at once.. Don't know.
Just updated today with a VIN and listing changed to "December - early January." At least it's moving in the right direction. Is getting the VIN a more meaningful benchmark from which I can estimate a more accurate delivery date?

I just got assigned a VIN last night about 9pm eastern time and my delivery range reads the same - December to early January 2018... Sounds like we will both be cutting it very close to getting pushed into 2018, probably come down to shipping times and we are both east coast.
From what I have read, production usually starts between 3-6 weeks after VIN assigned. Someone may correct me on this with the most current info...
An update from my order on October 1st. They aren't willing to give me a soft delivery date yet (still saying mid- to late-December in emails), but have finally informed me that my car is scheduled for production on November 20th.
