Still nothing for the Canadian Sigs. Seems they still haven't got the price worked out yet, so that's probably delaying things.

Someone's still a bit peeved that he didn't get a chance to pick Brown?!
I've made my peace with it sir GG! We'll see if the Model X comes in that titanium for sigs
Dear Ownership Advocate,I've made my peace with it sir GG! We'll see if the Model X comes in that titanium for sigs
I would sincerely appreciate it if you could find a way to nudge the system such that 'accidentally' my Signature Model S ended up with the Brown paint rather than a Signature color.
I won't tell anyone and you'll be my bestest friend forever.

Give it a shot, sir. Bonus points for having the guts to Cc Elon and George B.
If nothing else, you might get a great story out of it.
Hahaha, nah I'll stick with the red. Brown is great, but I don't think it'll work well with perf wheels and spoiler. Must.step. Out of. Comfort zone.

Finalize order email
We are # R123 and received our config email on Friday July 13 (who said that was an unlucky date).
Haven't taken action yet, so don't know the est. delivery date. Planning to attend one of the Texas test drive events in Aug. anyone know how long you can sit on a config email before having to take action?
Very exciting through!

I'm P83, and have been from the beginning in March, 2009. Nothing has changed for me on the "MyTesla" page as of today.

Apparently, you have 30 days to sign the MVPA; as long as you sign in this window, there's no impact on the delivery date (one of the Rs earlier on this thread confirmed that with his Tesla rep).
If you need to go past the 30-day window, you presumably might have to take the one-time deferral.

There should be a phone number on the mail, just give them a call. We're that close to August, I don't imagine you'd have to take a deferral.

No, they didn't. However they seem to have gotten stuck trying to get the pricing out for Canadian cars, and that must be holding things up. I gather the delay is related to whether the car qualifies under NAFTA as a > 50% made-in-USA car; if it doesn't the price goes up due to 6.1% duty.
After attending the driving event in DC over the weekend, I canceled my Signature reservation (S920) today. Its not that there was anything wrong with the car; it was a lot of fun to drive, but I feel the car is still incomplete. Fo rxample, I was told that the auto door handle extending when you approach the car with the keyfob in your pocket would not ship with the car, but will be a future update (upgrade?). They still have not determined the service intervals and what needs to be done, but told me the service cost would be between 500 and 600 dollars. I was told the car will not ship with 4G or even LTE, but rather 3G; that Elon was mistaken in his statement that the car was 4G ready. They told me 4G and/or LTE will be a future upgrade (cost unknown).
However, the major reason for canceling is the lack of safety features that are available on cars from BMW, Mercedes, Lexus and even Cadilac. Blind side detection will be a future option, but they could not state when it will be available. A collision precvention system will hopefuilly be offered in the future, but again, no time frame was provided. I have had 4 retina detachments, and thus consider safety features to be more important that 4.4 seconds for 0-60 mph. Such features should be available on a car that costs approximately $110K when fully configured; they are available on cars from the above-noted manufacturers for approximately $65K.
Another factor in canceling was that the Signature red paint has changed over time. The Sunset Red paint on one of the test cars is very similar to the alpha car I saw 3 years ago and fell in love with. And the Tesla people at the drive event agreed. The Signature Red is very similar to the paint color on my Lexus and Prius. So after much consideration, I canceled the reservation today. As I said, nothing against the car, just that my current vision situation results in me putting a greater emphais on safety features, especially in view of a report about a week ago stating that the front collison avoidance systems from Mercedes et al, reduce frontal accidents by about 18 percent. I have not had an accident in nearly 40 years of driving, but think that in view of my vision not being what it was several years ago, a car with all the currently available safety features is a better fit for me.
I have kept my Production reservation (P258), and will likely defer it for 6 months to give Tesla the opportunity to "finish" the car. If they have not added the features by that time, but offer a 1 or 2 year lease, I may do that, to give them more time to add these features to the car. As I said, I was told they will be added as options, but they would not indicate when.
BTW. I was also told that Tesla is planning to sell the cell time to the owner. That is, you would purchase a cell plan from Tesla, not ATT or whoever they use.
I hope Tesla will eventually offer a system like ONSTAR. Mercedes and Lexus have a similar system. In all these systems, if you have a collision, the center is automatically notified to call an ambulance.

Thanks for sharing and for the info on the cell plan!
Someone on the wait list just wetted the floor.
Re the cell plan, it definitely is not Verizon. They told me Verizon would not talk to them about allowing them to sell plans. Their current plan is to purchase a huge block of data per month, which they would resell to the vehicle owners in smaller blocks. Verizon would not permit them to do this. They would not state which carrier they are using, but since it is GSM based, it either has to be ATT or T-Mobile. When I said ATT was used in the Roadster, the rep merely smiled.
