Exactly one week until delivery...

[comanchepilot]

And then the delay call... One more day, maybe two...

Final assembly under warranty -

Which is why ICE car dealers do not call you until the vehicle is ready to be picked up. . . .

Well, I was told the 12v was dead when it came off the truck and then the bombshell that in order to uncork it, they needed a part which had to be sourced. I can wait a week if it all comes out right.

Did you purchase an inventory car that was already in Oregon or heading there? Or did you opt to take delivery there for another reason?
Sounds like that will be a great trip as well, I've always loved the Pacific Northwest.

It's a custom order, I just requested to have it sent to Portland for delivery. I originally wanted to do Fremont delivery but California/Texas sales tax shenanigans would make the car almost 10% more expensive. By taking delivery in Oregon where there is no sales tax I can side-step all of those issues, and I get to see the Oregon cost to boot.

Congrats, everyone! I remember being so excited... I even drove by the service center to "visit" my car while it was being prepped for delivery.

Now, just one more sleep for about the 4th time

hang in there Lodo!

I remember "The Wait". Other than the 72 hour window after ordering the car, and wondering if the expense is really worth it, I had almost put the purchase out of my mind. Well, until 3 weeks out when our DS and I arranged the delivery date/time. Then "The Wait" set in. At that point, my wife wasn't helpful at all in that she repeatedly asked me "are you looking forward to driving the Tesla?".

Granted, we've only had our S75D a week but the waiting is definitely worth it!!

My S100D is ready for me to pick up, but we’re out of town for the weekend. Monday is the delivery. It’s been inspected and detailed already.

Well as the title states, I'm exactly one week out from delivery of my MS75. The car is ready to go at the Raleigh SC, I fly up on Dec. 1st. Time could not be going ANY slower! Stay tuned for a delivery thread, and in a few weeks an east coast road trip! FL --> NYC

Sounds like fun!! How long from “your car is in production” until delivery?

 

[Lodo1000]

Officially out of the understanding owners club as I have been informed for about 10 days running that the car is still not in Houston and the latest date is now Monday.

This misinformation and constant 'manana', no wait I meant two more days, no wait another two days service is just horrible.

Would like to remain in the appropriate 'going to the amusement park' fan club mentality but this is, well, bs

I ordered inventory so it was simply a matter go when I could fly up.

Wow, I'm sorry to hear about your experience, that is definitely farm from ideal. I asked my OA about the way things are done in other areas with delivery a couple of weeks ago (since I picked up out of my region) and he said it really depends on the regional manager. Florida is very "white glove" about the whole operation. It wouldn't hurt to ask them for a loaner until you take delivery, that's what I did, and they were more than happy to give me one for a week.

UPDATE:

So I picked the car up yesterday and drove it 400 miles to Atlanta! I'm currently at the SC in Tifton, on my way down to Florida.
Other than the fact that both door mirror assemblies need to be replaced (malfunctioning) and that the car had 87 miles on it, with someone averaging 900kWh at one point somehow (really, wtf!!) the delivery went pretty well! I love the car and it's been an enjoyable trip back so far.

Think I would be upset.... how do they explain mileage and hot rodding ? Mirrors on order?

I was reasonably upset, I failed to get a clear explanation on mileage, the delivery specialist said that since I purchased inventory it could have been used for test drives, which doesn't make sense since it was purchased while in transit to the dealership, and was labelled as having less than 50 miles when we purchased it. Unfortunately I didn't notice the high consumption until right after I left the service center.. I asked my OA and he was very surprised, though said something along the lines of "I would assume it was for testing purposes" OK.. I'm under the impression that testing done in the factory (Dyno) is done in factory mode, and well before the car has 80+ miles on it. I wouldn't understand why this particular car either as it is not a P variant, simply a 75 RWD.

 

[Lodo1000]

I’ve been told that the 50 mile mark is the testing limit. Not verified but don’t most ‘new inventory’ come with 50 miles on them?

OA told me Friday my car had 6 miles on it. Making my check list.

I was under this impression as well. Apparently since it sat at the factory it could have been moved around several times, and the truck occasionally drops off the cars in locations away from the service center.

Our custom order only had 38, the DS was impressed. The graph showed some high usage as well which she said was from testing.

Mine had 50 miles on it.

Reading all the posts here I almost feel like I've cheated. I took the test drive on Wednesday evening, then took delivery on Friday night. Almost no wait time

They offered to have mine ready by the upcoming Friday (I ordered on a Monday) but it was too soon to fly all the way up, and the next weekend was Thanksgiving so I had family in town. The wait kind of increased my anticipation!
