Latest "Finalize your order" date

[Arnold Panz]

That makes my hope of P2840 at the end of November look slim

My original theory was ~1500 sigs/founders/roadster owners, then of the P2839 in front of me maybe 30% defer for a 40kwh or 60kwh battery, which would put me around #3500 produced. With a full run rate of 20k a year in Dec that's 1600+ in Dec. So, 5000 - 1600 = 3400 produced before December. Hence, I was hoping for a Thanksgiving-ish car...

This has been discussed in other threads, but in order for Tesla to deliver 5000 cars this year they will have to start general production deliveries before November. October for a sign could mean early October, or they could delight Sig owners and get some of them a month early. I know they are preparing people for a very slow ramp up of production, but if they go too slow they'll miss their target of 5000 cars this year.

I don't know how true this is, as different Tesla employees seem to have different answers for the same questions, but one employee I talked to confirmed that all of the 2012 5k unit run will have the 85kwh pack. This means that those who would like one of the smaller packs, have to wait until the 2013 MY.

^ Ditto with air suspension.

Hmm... We knew that about the air suspension - the design studio says so. But, it also says Nov for 60 and Dec for 40...

Do we know of anyone who has actually scheduled a delivery (besides the first 12 founders)? If it was in the forums already, sorry, I missed it.

When did 11 and 12 get delivered?

 

[AnOutsider]

Supposedly just before the la drives

When did 11 and 12 get delivered?

1 & 2 were Elon and Jurv (sorry, not taking time to look up the full name for Jurv)
3-12 were the 10 cars just before the Fremont test drives.

I thought it was 3-10 (8 cars at the event).

Nice find!

@Bourdain: it's an abomination they use the name of THE GREAT ONE to pimp shitty overpriced richboy cars...& IT'S HIS BIRTHDAY TOO! #tesla

There's always one...

 

[MikeK]

I see that the car in the photo is rigged with a camera mounted to the hood. Do we know for sure that Bourdain owns this, or is he shooting a segment for one of his shows?

I get a sense of the "warm fuzzies" now that My Garge finally states:

"The Tesla Factory is building your Model S Signature Performance." :biggrin:

[brianman]

My 552 still says reserved.

 

[AndyM]

Congratulations!

I hope Tesla's online status is more accurate than Dominos Pizza's online status. That thing is never right...

(seriously, congrats!)

Hi Brian,

Maybe that's because I was one of the first to complete the configuration process electronically via the My Tesla web page?

Yah, that's the current theory it seems. I still don't have to like it.

Mine says the same thing. Hope it is accurate.
