"As of right now, I believe we have configured the majority (if not all) of the Signature vehicles, and we just began contacting General Production customers to configure. I think that it still may be a few more weeks before you will be contacted to officially configure and submit your build order to us.
As you can imagine, building and delivering amazing cars is a top priority for us. To focus on quality, we are building several cars a week before we ramp up into mass production. In addition to your Model S, we are building cars for our marketing and sales teams, homologation testing, test drive fleet and international fleet distribution. We are currently ramping up very slowly to focus on quality. We are still focused on producing 5,000 cars this year, however, the ramp up in the next few months will be slow as we align with our suppliers and refine our production process to full production by the end of the year. This makes it difficult to give an accurate timeframe for delivery, so we are providing an estimated timeframe of the 4th quarter of this year."
