First Signature and First Production Delivery in Australia

[TesAus]

They haven't advised directly of any of the other delays to date, beginning with the termination of Jay in 2012 and the 1year deferment at that time. Then it was supposed to be end 2013. Then Autumn 2014, now, as you say, Spring 2014.

I think I can say that the impression all of us have is that the team on the ground in Australia are working very hard to make this happen. However, they are constrained particularly with respect to communications and most likely in relation to authority to enter lease/purchase/fit-out contracts for the real estate required for the service centres. The authority for those typically needs to come from head office and may not be priority for the senior management team or may not fit the form expected in the US and needs drawn out approvals?

How does a "Ranger" service work?

Do they send send a mechanic from Melbourne or Sydney?

I think so. I presume that they'd have to do the same to service roadsters.

Lone, Texas or Power?

Lone, Texas or Power?

As long as it isn't Ford any of the others will do, but surely Power would be most appropriate?

 

[Dborn]

But lone is usually how they work.

"We are not far away from Model S being delivered". From a reliable source. Does not sound like a wait til January. However it seems, not September either.

My fingers are starting to get deformed from being crossed, but here goes......

Ranger anxiety?:crying:

 

[omniwolf]

When i went for my test drive i asked when the first ones would be delivered, and Stone said "in the next couple of months", so probably October or November if things hold up.

 

[Dborn]

Yeah. At this rate it is looking like November, worse luck. I just wish they would stop being so cagey and just give us real facts.

 

[Mark E]

You and me both. I'd even sign an NDA.

 

[Dborn]

So would I.

Meanwhile the 10-20 cars that have already been built are rapidly ageing.

[SteveWest]

Reckon the recipients of Signature Series cars are going to be pissed if they are the only ones to miss out on the new features enabled by the front camera? Or will Tesla Australia add the camera at their end before delivery?

 

[danielp]

I think they'll be pissed. But so long as they get their cars within the next 3-4 weeks, Tesla could argue they would have missed out anyway because of production and transit times.

Said another way, every post November 1st delivery should have the features. In October it is much less clear.

I'm very lucky that my Sig hasn't been built yet so I guess there is hope that I'll get the new features.

if your car hasn't been built yet I'm confident you'll get the new features.

Speaking of which, I wonder what other features Tesla can come up with using the new front facing camera?

It would be great if you could store 1 minute of vision from both cameras in case of a crash.

G'day DrWho, Is that pessimism or optimism ?
