Holy smokes.. Looks likely that I will be getting my email next week.. Sooner than I thought. I have to prepare myself mentally for it now. Wife and I just decided on brown over the weekend (it was between brown and gray).

Brown will be awesome. Rich, sophisticated, and unique. Good choice.
What about the rest of your configuration?
Im really hoping i have a chance to see/drive again before i have to lock in (i know i have a few thousand yet, but they seem to be accelerating the pace).
I really want a chance to sit in and drive one with the pano roof before deciding. I know everyone has said its not an issue, but i (and the wife) need to see for ourselves the lack of light coming in.
Id also love to hear officially about the 60kwh battery and what that means for supercharging. That seems like a critical piece of information once we get into the non signatures.

Trying really hard to contain my excitement. I'm 2359. So based on the numbers I'll get my email next week, just shy of 2 years since I reserved. Already told the in laws we'll probably be staying home for Xmas this year. Looks like this could be the best Christmas ever!
I had called in mid-May asking about the possibility for getting a Signature model. They told me they were sold out but suggested I order a production car, pay my $5000, then call and ask them to note on my order that I really only wanted a Signature. When I asked about the possibilities of getting one this year (remember the web site said they were sold out at the time) I believe the response was that there wasn't much of a chance and that something like mid-2013 was more likely. Maybe I was misreading the rep's comments, but he knew I only wanted a Signature and he was definately not encouraging about me getting one any time soon. Or perhaps he just wanted me to keep my order in.
Brianman, when you say the probability of that is zero, does that mean that no more Signatures are going to be produced? Ever? If that's the case, they are going to be pretty rare cars.

Right, there will never be more than the first 1000 Signature cars.
Your rep was saying that you could go on the waiting list for the Signature Series, if one of the current Sig reservation holders decides they don't want it after all, and you were next in line on the waiting list, they would offer the spot to you. Sigs are the first 1000 cars, so you would effectively jump the line all the way to getting your car in September or so.

P1577 and got my "Time to Build" email today (obviously).
Still waffling between these two configurations:
-Standard 85kWh, Dolphin Gray, Black leather, Matte Obeche(?), 19", Air suspension, tech pkg, sound studio, pano
-Performance, Dolphin Gray, Black leather, Carbon fiber w/ spoiler, 21" Performance, tech pkg, sound studio, pano (and of course air suspension).

Thanks.. Yes, we definitely discussed the uniqueness of the brown, and that's what topped it for us.
Let's see - interior will be tan leather. We are still debating lacewood or obeche (probably matte). My wife says flip a coin.. I just can't leave a final decision like that on such a big purchase. So we just need to find a way to make that decision -- soon.
Will do a 60kWh battery, 19" wheels, pano, tech pkg, air susp, sound upgrade, paint armor, and seats for the youngons.
Has anyone who has been notified to configure, already locked in or received their car asked and been told what the annual service charge will be? There has been a lot of speculation based on the $600 per year Roadster fee but is there anything definite yet for Model S? Are people just locking in without knowing how much it will cost to service each year?

I asked and was told they haven't set the price yet. Maybe they figure they have 12 more months?

The way it was explained to me was that after 30 days you're on a day for day slip until you finalize. I didn't ask about any specific end date, but I surmised that they would be happy to hold on to your $5000 for as long as you're willing to let them. And, it was nice that you didn't need anything special to get into the queue - just finalize your order and sign the papers.

Mine says NOVEMBER delivery - yes, struck a compromise with the wife and went with 60 kWh + Leather rather than 85 kWh + Cloth; something about maximizing the average case experience
November delivery of a 60 kWh -- just as they have stated for a while on their website: 60 kWh enters production November 2012. This company delivers on their promise!
I believe you can delay your order confirmation for a month without affecting the delivery date. Then, per above, day-for-day slip/delay.

Yep, it takes a day or so to build, so you should have it by a week ago. Or SLT... :biggrin:
It has been confirmed that the SSLs are a separate additional # sequence outside the S and P numbers. So add 250 or so to your count.
Yes. Also, The SSL:S relationship is similar to the R:N relationship.
No. count(SSL(U.S.)) + count(S(U.S.)) = 1000, not 1200ish
