How does that hit 6,000? 80 a week comes to about 1,000 by the end of this year.
Because in the interview mentioned, Elon said that production would be increasing every week. I suspect he will try to double the production, but he didn't exactly say that.

Ken, you have EXCELLENT taste...I have the exact same configuration as you, minus the rear-facing seats (I thought my 6 & 9-year-old boys would be in and out of them too quickly.) Our configuration selections seem to be more on the rare side compared with what most other people have selected, but I'm actually happy about that 
I'm P2009, and I finalized over a month ago...But I still got the same vague Nov/Dec estimate that you did...Let's hope that's more like early November than late December!

They're probably waiting for the 30 day response period to end before they tally up their total and decide on the next batch. Either that or the ramp up isn't quite there to be doubling down every week and they may not reach the 5K mark, hence the slow down.
So after the 1200 USA+CA sigs, then that leave 3800 R's and general P's left to reach 5000. They've already contacted P#5500 or so, but once you factor in those that have cancelled, deferred, or selected options that would push them into 2013, I wonder if they've hit their limit already for 2012.

Yeah, I don't think we'll see any 40kw packs delivered in 2012, 80 and 60kw packs w/air suspension for 2012.

Met several people yesterday who had numbers <5,000 but hadn't configured because they had even seen the car yet. They came to see Model S at our plug-in day event and several got test drives also. Despite store opening plans Tesla still only has the one store at the very end of the state, so it's good they are getting out and about for other reservation holders to see the car.

That points the weakness of TM actual retail model. Their reservation list is impressive, but the only number that counts are lock down configs, and it seems that their lack of presence is hurting that number a bit.

this is a bit a "chicken or the egg" response!
I do not see any hurt for Tesla! They have enough reservations!
Only regions with no shop or service-station will have slower pick-up! (not no pick-up)
Service-stations will come as soon as enough people bought cars in a region
patience is the word!
It will come, only not all at once!

Yes I completely agree, and that's also why Europeans will have to wait more than they think : as long as the american demand stay that high, it will help Tesla getting even financially speaking, way faster than on the very fragmented European market.
I was just trying to point out that those reservations are no done deal. Hurt might not be the right word, but we don't how many reservations have been canceled, we don't know how much is "enough".
And as Nigel rightly pointed out :
Agreed, ManuVince. A paid reservation is like having hooked a fish -- there's still work to be done to reel it in and land it. Tesla has areas where it could improve this conversion rate.
Reservation #: 4891
Contact date: 9/11/2012. Config date 9/19/2012
Est. Delivery date: Late November, 2012. The Tesla rep said there about 3,000 config'd cars ahead of me. He also told me that they batch the production, so mine will be built with similar cars. I'm not confident in a 2012 delivery, but who knows?
60 kW, blue, sunroof, black/black interior, sound.

So. they are really stepping up production.. I was still expecting December!
You are ~3000 later than mine (- the non 85kw's in the low P's)
November would be sweet

Hey Tesla, why don't you resume sending out finalize e-mails today starting with Canadian P's?
