Just got notice that my production was pushed back by a week.

Interesting that the OP's car is going to take at least 8 weeks from order confirmation to delivery, but @Bertl's car appears to have taken have taken about two weeks from order confirmation to delivery. Both of those new Tesla owners are located in the western US.

Yes, and I have every option except the rear jumpers with grey next gen and black alcantara headliner. IMHO, the issue for present delays is still all about supply of some component and/or color of it having become constrained.

Talk to your Delivery Specialist if one has been assigned. They may be able to give you an estimated delivery date -- you'll of course have some ship transit time that we don't have here in the US. Good luck, and congratulations on that new MS!
 
...For those in the queue, if helpful, here's how dates went with my order:
9/1 - Ordered
9/1 - Accepted Online
9/9 - Confirmed; VIN assigned several hours later
9/11 - In Production (my DS told me that clicked over at 9:16PM)
9/20 - (Did not show on My Tesla, but my MS was complete and my DS had it held at the factory for future delivery given my known travel plans at time of order.)
9/25 - In transit from Factory / Production Complete
9/26 - Preparing for Pickup or Delivery (My SC is only 425 miles from the Factory)
9/30 - Payment Section showed as paid in full
10/5 - Delivery (the day I returned from travel; IIRC, it took a couple more days for My Tesla to reflect that, but I wasn't watching as close at that point)

While out walking my dog, I just remembered a couple more subjective points that may help with context:
- Before I ordered, Design Studio was estimating "late November" as delivery
- When my MS first changed to "In Production" status, IIRC, My Tesla soon indicated a "mid November" delivery estimate
- A week or so later, the delivery estimate moved to "early November"
- ...then it moved to "mid-late October", and soon thereafter I got an email from my DS saying it may be able to be at the DC ready for delivery as early as 9/23, but he knew I'd be out of town, so simply wanted to reconfirm before he held it at the factory until a little closer to my return so it didn't sit at the DC and have to be moved in/out and around every morning and night (I appreciated that!)

IIRC, "In Production" means the time it takes Tesla to source parts for a confirmed order, then build it, QA it, and then resolve any issues if there are any before the car goes to "In transit" state. There are a lot of variables in there. That movement of my delivery estimates would sort of confirm that as Tesla gained confidence when the actual build would take place, they improved the estimate. Frankly, I'm glad they are taking an approach of reasonable estimates where they hopefully deliver more cars early, vs late. It's always better to "over deliver" when it comes to customer satisfaction, than missing even an estimated target date.

Think that is true for the X, for the S it is more likely batching similar cars to speed up production and regional delivery batching (producing cars that are delivered further away) to maximize cars delivered by the end of year.
 
I'm looking at my Purchase Agreement and am surprised to see that cars shipped via third party common carrier are "FOB shipping point". Aren't all the cars not picked up at Fremont shipped by third party common carrier? Wouldn't this mean ownership transfers on day one of shipment vs. date of receipt at Raleigh NC? What am I missing?
 
It appears that they have switched the assembly line over for right side steering wheels used overseas. Export orders placed a week after mine and 1000 higher VIN number have already started production while mine is still in queue. And that is for the same model number (P90D).
 
thats what I'm afraid of. Worst case scenario of later than expected delivery, 2015 vin and waiting until 2017 to get my credit. When did the delivery date show up for you on the my tesla site? My vin appeared almost immediately after the order went firm like 2 days ago but no projected date. Status says entered the production queue.

You can adjust your Federal witholdings on your paychecks to "get the tax credit during 2016". It doesn't have to wait until 2017. Lower your witholdings by 7500/12 or about $625 a month. If you pay quarterly estimates, just estimate lower.
 
giantbeer, I'm in the north jersey area so I hope I'm grouped right behind you. I will do my part and refresh my browser continuously until they move it over to production.

Congratulations too! I've read production is a 5-day task and then they'll QC it and get it ready for transportation.

I just moved into production! Apparently constant refreshing pays off! I'm VIN 1129xx for a 70D to the east coast. Hopefully the rest are in or will closely follow.
 
Woot! I'm 2000 behind so I should "get it started" this month. Wonder if there's any way I can get the car in time for a Dec 8 drive to Beaufort?

Hey Neighbor :) I placed an order for a 70D in September but asked them to deliver in late January (because my current car's lease expires them). Just down the road in Raleigh ... I'll be in a silver/black one.

Hope you love it.
 
My vin # is 112805. I ordered a Titanium Metallic 70D. I am located on the East coast.

placed 10/8
confirmed 10/15
vin assigned 10/16
Entered production queue on 10/22 (I think)
In production as of 11/4

December delivery quoted at time of ordering. No tentative delivery yet, but my DS says most likely early December.
