Well even if it turns out to be correct it's nothing like "a Fisker experience" (yet).That's obvious very bad news. Hope that turns out to be wrong.
As R231 and R232 I got a "last week of September" as a delivery date.
Got a call from Tesla about this today.

I understand what you are referring to. I placed my reservation in April 2009 and you bet I've been following this closely and am eagerly waiting for my car to arrive in Germany. And yes, the original announcement referred to 2011 even (but was corrected to 2012 way ahead). Yet, I'm far from feeling Fiskerized. I have no reason to doubt that my car will arrive pretty soon, a couple of weeks give or take. Tesla seems to be on top of things like homologation, production, import paperwork, shipping logistics, distribution center in Tilburg... Nothing obviously terribly lacking so far.I was referring to the delays at Fisker, not so much the build quality of the car which I expect to be unlike Fisker's.
But the delays are stacking up like they did with Fisker. Many of us are looking at half a year delay already in a relatively short period. One year ago there was still talk of first European deliveries in late 2012, which then became early 2013. Just in February we were still promised delivery in spring for Signatures and summer for P's. For most European countries (not Norway and Switzerland) that is now rapidly becoming fall and winter.

If Tesla did not start to produce European cars in Q2, it wasn't because they couldn't. They are obviously able to build cars at a significant rate and to high quality standards. There are a number of reasons why they may have deliberately decided to push production of European cars to Q3, not the least being the fact that producing cars in one quarter and selling them in another creates an ugly whole in the quarterly reports. Yes they could have known and communicated this in advance, but then again, they are really walking a razor thin line with their communication. Just look at their crazy stock chart to see what I mean. Elon managed to squeeze some significant shorts, to the benefit of the shareholders, the company, and us as their customers (because it helps building a solid business -- unlike Fisker). If that means I have to wait four more weeks on top of the four years I waited already, that's totally worth it.
I agree very much. I had the same experience. I was called almost daily as long as i didn't sign the contract. I even mentioned once to the Tesla representative to stop using telephone terror methods (that's how we call this in swiss german). After I signed, there was no active communication from Tesla anymore at all. When I called, I got misleading and wrong information. Not always but more often than acceptable.What bugs me though is the lack of communication about the delivery schedule (unfortunately another Fisker-analogy). I was called several times when I still had to place the order. I thought it was to make sure that I felt appreciated. But after I signed four months ago I've heard nothing anymore and now I'm starting to think the calls were just to make sure I would sign.
Thanks for calling me a mainstreamerit's obvious that we are already getting two different types of customers i n europe although no cars have been delivered yet. the ones that are long time TESLA/EV diehards and the more early mainstreamers. [...] they are obviously not putting a lot of resources on communications right now but I can tell you that as a roadster owner, their service is impeccable. however, they have many heardles to overcome now that they will have to grow exponentially. but luckily they are learning daily in the US. this does not mean it will be perfect in europe or even close to that but the learning process will be a bit shorter. it is very difficult to start a new company and to expand exponentially and it is even more difficult to do that on a global scale in a very short time. judge them in five years from now not in five weeks from now
Its better they Communicate WHEN they got something to tell you rather than communicating just for the sake of communicating.
Right now you actually don't need to know anything from a person at Tesla. Your status is on MyTesla.
I am curious - where on MyTesla does it say your delivery timeframe ? I ask as I only see Order Confirmed and the line under it about finding parts. (I am an EU Sig too)I think there is definitely something to tell a customer if MyTesla is still saying July-August as delivery timeframe, when in fact (as I found out) it has moved to October.
How do you know about it? Did you get an email? Not??? See!!Therese charging port is out, along with a charging guide. Actually! (Ill ser if i can find a link)
