First P85D adopters stuck in black hole

[3s-a-charm]

Congrats to everyone who sees light at the end of th tunnel! And thanks for a few laughs as I read through the last few hours of the thread. Now that I've committed to reordering, I'm almost afraid to see my car finally move into completion; however, it keeps going and going, still in production. Not only that, my December delivery time frame has now changed to:

We will do our best to accommodate your desired delivery time frame. Your Delivery Experience Specialist will provide you with an update on your likely delivery date as information becomes available.

This helps me to justify my decision as it looks unlikely I was getting this car in December. Figure I might as well get a new one fresh off the line with whatever the latest hardware features are.

My earliest original delivery date was December 4th which was predicted when it appeared that,my car was complete on November 26th.
happy days

@gpetti, I'm being told I'm still in December delivery and I just went into production today. Not sure which is worse... the excitement you had of being one of the first into production and having the delays you've seen or me thinking I will never go into production and finally doing so. Either way, patience is a virtue and I suppose it's been challenging in it's own way for everyone but in the end I expect this will be a positive experience when we get to drive one of the best vehicles on the planet each and every day. As it has been said by our elders (the early model S owners) the Tesla Grin still comes to all of those who waited for their cars through thick and thin.

So who wants to go in on sending some pizza to the factory with me? Don't get me wrong, I think Tesla could have avoided a lot of this. But I am feeling bad for the people working their butts off right now. Instead of darts, let's buy 'em lunch. Anyone?

I'm in. Who delivers there?

There are 4000 people in the factory from purchasing to stamping to wet sanding to painting to automated assembly etc.

Most like pepperoni and sausage, but there are a few 'all cheese' folks. I'll arrange for delivery if you collect the money.

4,000 people. Let's keep it simple and say a slice per person. 8 slices/pie. 500 pies. Costco pizza (it's actually quite good) retail is $10. We need 5k. 250 people at $20 each, and several costco locations. And a truck.

 

[commasign]

I've exited the blackhole! Production complete as of 630pm!

Hey Bonnie, super mod extraordinaire, perhaps we should split this off into a new thread.

[gg_got_a_tesla]

I'm in for pizza but, I wonder if stopping for pizza will slow the production lines down further

Congrats, @commasign. It's a good sign that the earliest ones are exiting now.

I would suggest based on the number of people who frequent this thread 50 people at $100. I'm in.

Edit: Script picked up on it within 5 minutes of the change and notified me at 10:17PM ET, so it switched between 10:12 and 10:17PM.

 

[LetsGoFast]

LOL. You'd probably do better to get a big chain to step up than to try to coordinate some kind of multi-Costco run, but I'm in either way.

Truly laughing out loud. Congrats.

On the pizza note, I'm in for a few hundred bucks if there is a way to seriously do this. A would be a good happy holidays from TMC members to Tesla workers.

Woohoo! Guess we can retire this thread soon. Have a feeling all the blackhole cars are exiting production now. Just curious to see what seats everyone is getting at this point.

Me too. Just let me know where/how.

 

[gg_got_a_tesla]

Fingers crossed for @gpetti, @NOLA_Mike and @andrewket. Are there others?

Still no change here. But seeing all these coming out tonight has me doubled down on clicking on the My Tesla tab...

And thanks for the good wishes!

I told both Jerome and my DS that I didn't care what seats I got at delivery as long as I could eventually get the next-gen ones I ordered. I haven't gotten confirmation either way.

Look at you! I can just see that $20..................Seriously though.........................HAPPY FOR YOU!

Yeah... I'm thinking so too. lol.

Is there a pizza thread yet?

 

[flyboyzz1]

Hope to share similar luck tomorrow. Tired of being in this deep deep dark hole :crying:

 

[jmmcalpin]

Ok, my status just updated, looks like mine is done with production, now have to see how fast they can get it on a truck and headed east.
