I wouldn't get your hopes up too much for anything earlier. Mine has been under preparation since 3rd December and I should get it on Thursday. There is also Christmas in between.
Looks like we slipped through the MUA picket line. 
Mine is now preparing for pickup or delivery as well.

Me too- however I can't actually collect it until the second week of January as I have other commitments until then- bummer.
i was originally offered a 2pm December 29 th delivery. That looked to be a VERY busy time slot.
The other change to the My Tesla page is the appearance of the Pro Forma invoice.
Looks like we will have to pay for it now.

Right now we are all at the mercy of the MUA and DP World. I'm booked in for Thursday and hoping for a phone call tomorrow but anything can happen.

Mark, I think the prep comment means the vehicle is in Teslas hands and has cleared customs...

The cars had cleared customs and largely been prepped but were not at the service centre. The lockout was preventing local deliveries. I'm picking my car up today - yea!
This is exciting Mark, look forward to the review! Hopefully it means that the other production cars have also cleared customs and are being prepped...

Timpoo,
Please update my status to Delivered!
Picked it up this morning, access via App wasn't working initially, but is now.
Good luck to those in the final run up to delivery.

Enjoy!! Be careful with the turning circle and wheels!! I have managed to kerb 3 wheels without ever having done that to another car.

Well it's finally home in my garage!
Very happy with the colour and the lacewood dash - even more now that you can't option it any more.
Happy with the power too - especially once moving the car is responsive & zippy, albeit big. The iPhone app wasn't connected for an hour or two and Rdio wasn't functional until about 7pm - working now. The stereo is good but I'll need some more time with it, and also with the interface - setting brightness levels etc and learning where things are without searching.

Congrats!!
Is it everything you remembered? Enjoy the road
It is very different driving it for real than just a test drive, but in a good way - you get a much better feel of it on familiar roads. I really like the instant smooth response after coming from a turbo diesel.
Had to pick up my wife and two friends after work - they were amused at all of the double takes and stares from motorists and pedstrians!
it was also the first time my wife had been in an S, she was very impressed with it and now is starting to understand my borderline fanatiscm over the last two years!
I really like Rdio which started working without intervention this afternoon.
i have adjusted pretty quickly to regen and like the one pedal driving.
The speed zone recognition seems to be fairly accurate, but it doesn't understand times for school zones and just flashes up 40 whatever time of day it is.
Haven't found the size too much of any issue yet. It is about the same width as my previous car, though a little longer. I did however choose to park in the Domain car park (which is well sized) rather than one of the inner city parks when I went into the city after picking it up!
The Tesla team are fine tuning the set up of the service centre/showroom after two broken windows due to hits by cars! They also suggest to not use the ramp closest to St Leonard's station as it is too steep unless you are on very high suspension setting!
The car comes with a Tesla emergency kit in the froot- first aid kit, triangle and hi vis vest - a nice touch.
"Futurama" seems to be charging quite happily this evening from the HPWC. Started at about 40km/hr charge rate on a 3/4 full battery.
