Model S Delivery Dates and Sequencing

I just got a call from my truck driver. They are currently in Dallas Tx, and now headed my way, West Chester, Pa.
They expect to be here after lunch Saturday. Wow, 2 days to Eastern Pa from Dallas!
I'm P1117, VIN 1850. Blue perf. with Tan interior, 21" grey wheels. She said after stopping here she has one more delivery for Boston Ma.
ModelS1079, I asked if it was also Blue with Tan Interior, VIN 1845.
She said it looks Green to her. So if you're in the Boston area and expecting a Green S soon, looks like it's in Dallas right now and should be in Boston late Sat. or early Sunday morning.
 
Question for people who are not in Cali, and can't take delivery at the factory:
Given that you have paid in full for it, how long after the factory releases your Model S to Sales for delivery,
does your car usually wait around, before they load it on a truck and send it down the road for delivery?
I have this uneasy feeling that something is delaying my delivery.

There's no "waiting period." As soon as they can source a truck and have a load of cars that are near you (or on the way from cali to you) then they'll send the truck. They are shipping everything they can right now. They may be getting drivers who want to be home for the holidays or whatever so could have a smaller pool - no idea.
 
Just got a VIN P02530 for P1312. Said to be ready to ship on Dec 21-22 to Scottsdale, AZ. They apparently prefer home delivery in Arizona (probably due to dealership laws). I can't imagine how they're going to handle driver's schedules around the Christmas holiday, but would anticipate receiving the car close to the new year. Can't wait (but probably have to)!
 
Got an email with the subject "Your Model S VIN" (P2840). The body was just one word (plus signature): 5YJSA1CP3CFP02310

At least you got the email. I'm still waiting for that one, but they told me the VIN over the phone on Wednesday.
Last night at 9pm the delivery specialist called but I'm still waiting for the email she promised for the next steps...

My delivery will be complicated that I may be out of the country when the car comes...Fortunately the guy who
is installing my paint armor is OCD (his admission) and he can accept delivery for me.

CORRECTION: I did get a VIN email from someone on the sales team.

I am P#5513 and just spoke to Tesla. Still no VIN, but was told that a "big batch" of VINs is expected very early next week, and that I should be a part of that batch. Still just have my delivery window of 12/15-12/31 to San Diego service center.
