I don't think Tesla has gone that far out of sync. I be he has a Signature Performance, and he meant "Performance" by the "P".

That makes more sense... Someone asked him on that thread to clarify but I suspect you are right.

I'm pretty sure that's Performance 1187. I did some searching and it's suggested he's a Signature holder by his posts.

Possibly and I'd say probably: amcohen site:[url]www.teslamotors.com/forum/forums - Bing[/url]

Mod note: By consensus this seems to be a performance Sig 1187 and not production 1187. Everyone can stand down now....

R 2042 Ready for delivery?

Got this email today. I contacted finance last week and was told that it was too early to even consider finance options. hmmmmm.

Hi John!

You are receiving this email because we have some very exciting news for you. Your Model S is ready for delivery!

We recently ramped production to get as many cars to our customers as possible this year. This created a wave of cars becoming available in our local market. To get those cars in the hands of our customers as quickly as possible, we are holding delivery events at our Delivery Center at the Design Studio in Hawthorne this Wednesday through Friday.

If you want to take delivery at the Design Studio, we can schedule you an appointment for this Friday. In general we are running 9am, 1pm or 4pm but can be flexible if none of those times work for you. If you elect for a Design Studio delivery, we will be able to facilitate the delivery of your car sooner. For those who cannot make it to one of these events, we can schedule you for a personal delivery at the location of your choice, but it will probably take about a week since we are focusing all of our resources on the event and followed by home/office deliveries.

Please respond to this email with:
1 – Design Studio or non-Design Studio delivery.
2a – For Design Studio deliveries please give a couple time slots that will work for you.
2b – For a non-Design Studio delivery please provide a few days next week that may work for you, and we can schedule from there.

Thank you and congratulations!

Peter

Merry Christmas or a Happy New Year

I inquired via email today about an update on possible delivery date for P2042 originally estimated to be 12/20/2012. Here's the response I got about two hours after hitting send:

"Taking into account your reservation sequence number of 2042 on the General Production reservation list and our production schedule, your approximate delivery time frame would be December or January. I would lean towards the car being done around the second half of December, with the possibility of early January of next year."
Maybe the P#'s are back on track?

@ discoducky - I am not too convinced that this is anything major-league (e.g. muddied waters). I think this is a confluence of true fact, general pre-supposition, and rumor. I think the only thing that we (R and P) can hang our hat on is that Sigs needed to be finished first. Delivery to, say, Hawaii would have to be understood as a compromise for, say, P10 who gets his or her car at Fremont. One suggests Rs and Ps are mixed. I tend to believe this. One other suggested batching and delivery issues (e.g. 67 cars are along I10 through the US, so put as many on trucks as we can and if that means pulling P4XX, so be it). I would only succumb to pure confusion if P4,xxx got an email saying Dec 4-18, or R 1XX got an email saying Feb 4-18.

Either way, this is a hectic time for us (regular reservation holders, Tesla Employees, federal income tax filers) and within a few more weeks, we will have it all ironed out. That is not to say that we will all be happy, but the pieces of the puzzle will all be arranged.

In clichés name,
WJ

Payment sent and authorization for shipping granted!! Apparently it can take 1-2 days to actually load and ship though.

Way to do, doc!

This is interesting, as I was able to make a change to P4996 on November 5. I realize I am way behind you, but it does make me wonder about the significance of the freeze. Obviously they must gather vehicles into scheduled bathes prior to releasing to the production line, but how far in advance would that need to be?

I just received another reply for an HQ Product Specialist Team Lead stating that my car, P3853, is beyond the supply chain and actually in line at the factory. Another point of significance that he stated - "We are still on track for a late December delivery for your Model S."

Given the release of a batch of delivery emails, plus the concept of delivery events I think they're getting more bullish. I'm not saying it'll actually happen, but that Tesla seems to be getting more confident that they will.

It's quite possible that anybody who's order a performance model (due to parts shortages or quality issues), 40kw, and 60kw packs are being skipped over in the production sequence in order to build cars that they can build and deliver. I'm sure there are some performance models being made based on what's available in their supply chain (priority for CAN Sigs), but maybe the nonperformance 85kw are being batched.

Seems hard to believe, but given I'm P2840 I'll certainly maintain hope! Maybe Tesla has secretly been hiding thousands of bodies in white in an underground vault...

 

[driver_EV]

I got the email overnight and have a two week window for delivery beginning Dec. 16th!

No VIN yet.

Standard Model S, White, 85 kWh, Grey leather, GlassPanRoof, StudioSound, 19"wheels, ActiveAir, MattObeche, TwinCharge, HPC

R514

 

[JakeP]

Just to add another datapoint, I just called and inquired if it was possible for me to change from standard 85kWh to Performance. The response was no, as parts for all 85kWh builds through my sequence number had already been ordered, and I had been "sorted for production". My car won't likely hit the production line until early Jan, according the current guesstimate (which is what I had expected).

 

[Larry Chanin]

Great news Larry. I guess that means your car is in transit right now.

Hi Dave,

Thanks. I received confirmation a few minutes ago that its on its way!

See you later tonight.

Pardon me, but this sounds like the lead-in to a Gothic horror novel: "The Mad Scientist and his Army of Virgin Brides"

That's great Larry, wish they'd have loaded mine on the truck with yours.

This is a bummer if true but it's highly possible since I'm noticing folks with much higher "P" sequence numbers posting that they have been "notified". From what I have seen, they are non-performance models.
