Alas, all too common. I reserved 2/2012 (Reservation #95), ordered 11/2016, confirmed 12/2016, VIN 14x. Original Model S Signature owner, live near Fremont. Still not delivered (which is fine if the delays are because the car neeeded them) but had awful communications (which isn't).
Loaded: P90DL, Pearl White, 22" Black Wheels, Black Leather, Carbon Fiber, Seven Seat, High Amp Charger, Autopilot, Premium, High Fidelity Sound, Subzero
I'm a die-hard Tesla fanboy, super-excited about my car, and very patient. I'd wait months longer if I had to to get a great car. I just don't understand why Tesla can't/won't keep me updated, and can't/won't explain why there are so many Model X's on the road that were ordered later than mine and have VINs in the thousands when mine is barely over 100.
Doesn't seem like a great way to treat die-hards who have personally sold dozens of Model S.
