I'm picturing a queue of robots holding chassis with our names on : )

Note the change of colour too. I'm guessing this is the new Steel Grey. Looks kind blue-grey on the screen.

well whatever it is, bloody exciting - it reminds me of being on hold and the machine saying "your call has progressed in the queue"...

I'm going to wait to update the spreadsheet in case there is the old "in production" status after this one...

New message. In the same way that my completed car has a different message to the USA cars. Theirs go straight to the car is being prepared for delivery. Mine says in transit from the factory.
I guess this one means you at least have a production slot.

Me too!! :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
I checked this morning about 8AM and it hadn't changed at that time so its changed in the last 8 hours.

My page has updated as well to " place in the production queue"
Very exciting and I hope it actually means something.
I have no idea how some of you chaps have waited years for this car without going nuts!

I just came across a 'what's hot' post on Google+ and it was from someone who just went for a test drive in Melbourne.
He said, amongst other things, that he was told that deliveries will start in January 2015. Now, hopefully what he meant was that if you order now you will get delivery in January but the way things are going right now, and especially considering ISBROWN's comments, I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't going to be any deliveries for anyone until January.
My Signature car has been listed as 'in production' now for almost a month. I have sent emails quering this to various Tesla staff with absolutely no response for over a week.
With regards to the mass status change to 'in production queue', I think that is a red herring - just someone decided to change the wording - and means nothing with regards to being any closer to production.
It is very odd that since DBORN not another forum member's car has gone into production and it has now been weeks.
I would posit that a hold has been put on production for Australia now that they have realised that they are so far from being in a position to launch that there is simply no point in sending any more cars here.

I think that " sourcing parts" is a ridiculous terminology and that they have simply made the substitution. It means exactly the same thing. I wrote to Jerome a few days ago asking about delivery and launch. Very unusually for him, I got no reply at all. I have had lots of communication with him earlier this year and last. It would be nice if Stone or someone else here contacted us all and explained what if anything is going on, and perhaps put some rumours to rest.

Judging by other posts on TMC and Tesla forum the change from sourcing parts to production queue seems to be global, not just for a batch of Aussie cars. Therefore, unfortunately, I also conclude it means nothing and we all need to go back in to Tesla hibernation!

Call me an optimist but I think this guy has it wrong. My hunch is that the first signature cars will be delivered after Japan start getting their cars. I am certain that all of us on this forum who ordered early will get our cars this year.
Pity about the status not meaning anything though.
