I too, like most, am in the queue. I was super excited for a moment but obviously it is just a 'marketing term' update and nothing else.

Hi everyone
I've been lurking for almost two years, learning as much as I can about Tesla (the company as well as the car). I test drove the Model S in Melbourne last month and ordered a couple of days later. Confirmed last week and now have the "in the production queue" message on my dashboard.
Are there any other orders from Tasmania I wonder. . .
for the purposes of entering my details in the spreadsheet, I've ordered a fully loaded P85, MC Red, Black leather, White alcantara headlining, Performance seats, Pano roof, Carbon fibre trim, Matching yacht floor, Grey turbine 21" wheels.

i guess all sig holder details are going to need changing given today's events. So, my details changed, rebuild ordered 2/10/14. Black headliner requested. Other details remain the same.

Hmmm, I will be in Denver (http://audiofest.net/) - maybe I should visit Fremont to check.
And I think I know what they will do with the cars already built - store them for 18 months and then send them to the NZ launch....:wink:

Wonder just how many have actually been built. Perhaps those who were told their cars were complete could publish here along with their original reservation number.
My guess, in relation to those offered upgrades? - zero. That's why they hadn't confirmed a delivery date and we able to offer you a fresh build.
I think they'll use them for stores, test drives and loaners, until they get sold off a few months later. The problem in the US has been that those cars sell like hotcakes, they never have enough of them.

A bit of a conspiracy theory, don't you think? From an internal company email, I got the gem the my vehicle was " in transit to the regional hub" which does seem to imply that it was in fact, built. My guess is that they have accepted that there were unreasonable delays regarding launch. These may have been unexpected, and caused them to build too early. In the circumstances, and with some pressure from other members of this forum, they took the decision to upgrade, probably at negligible cost to themselves, buy them time to get things back on track in the Australian backend, and significantly mollify us punters. A win win. The built cars will be needed as loaners, demonstrators, and possibly, de-badged, be sold as inventory cars.

I wonder, then, if our production VINs will get re-allocated as well. Mine still stands at 46nnn but it would make sense that we will get a new number - although maybe because your car was produced obviously they had to allocate a new one.
