Model S Delivery Dates and Sequencing

Hard to say. The reason they got to such a high number quickly is by skipping all 40 and 60 pack configurations, as well as anybody that chose red or standard suspension. However, they will have to go back and build all of those lower numbered cars before they get to a car as high at 15000, plus they will probably be building european cars by then. It all depends on what their production rate will be in 2013.

Thank you for the quick reply. I plan on the 85K pack, air suspension, but Tesla has never asked what I want. So I guess I will just wait.

Finally received my VIN number!!! P3853 is VIN 3062.

Delivery date?????

Pulling the 85kWh Air suspension cars up is/was a temporary thing until they begin general production of 40 and 60's standard suspension, once that begins, you should assume that you'll be in line with all the other reservations no matter what your configuration is.
 
Got a call from Tesla Sunday asking if I was ready. Yay! Said I was, I thought he said I'd get paperwork today, but no papers. Also said they put it on the truck after payment, but I thought that was only for problem states like Texas (I'm in Oregon). So, probably after Xmas sometime given I don't foresee money wired until Wednesday at best.
Direct ship. No DS. No real prep or "delivery experience". Not a big deal, since like many of us I'm already quite up on things.
Congrats! Looking forward to your feedback once you have the car in hand.
 
yes, that looks like it's definitely the case. i upgraded from a 60 to a p85 on december 11 and after talking to tesla a couple times in the last week it looks like january to february for me as they can't give me any concrete information. i keep hoping something changes but it looks increasingly unlikely every day. :frown:

Called Tesla again today (yes, I'm badgering them).

They said my car is going on the truck for shipment tonight or tomorrow. Through a second contact at Tesla it seems like they really were holding my car waiting for my payment, although that is contrary to what my DS said.

I'd suggest this to you: If you're trying to get the car ASAP, when you hear from your DS ask if you can send payment as soon as possible so as not to delay delivery.

Glad that it *sounds* like my car is starting to come to papa, but a bit down that it appears to have sat in Fremont for a few days for no reason.

Another thing to add: the inside delivery specialist I talked to said that he thinks Tesla's got just about every semi on the west coast lined up at the factory picking up cars :).
 
For those keeping track of such things I received my VIN earlier today (#2817). Waiting on final paperwork and receipt of my wire transfer to schedule a pickup time, but DS indicated car is ready and could be picked up as early as this weekend at the factory.
 
Just got off the phone with our inside delivery specialist and here's our story:

P 9455 - 85kw, Brown/Tan, Tech, Air, Pano, 19"

Reserved - Jun 11 (Est delivery May/June 2013)
Configure E-Mail - Dec 3
Configuration Finalized - Dec 4 (Est delivery Feb/Mar)
Time To Schedule Delivery E-Mail - Dec 10 (Est Delivery Dec 15-31)
Call From DS - (Car in Burn-In, VIN 2684, To be complete by Dec 24) - Dec 17
Final paperwork for Docusign due by tomorrow
We'd originally requested Seattle Service Center delivery thinking it would get us the car earlier, but they're now telling us that a direct ship to our house will expedite the process.

It's definitely a fun puzzle to figure out what the heck order they are building cars in, and I apologize to those ahead of us who aren't getting their cars this year.

Here's hoping that testing and transport go well!

Man, that's crazy, I reserved over 2 years ago...and finalized my order in September.
Signed my MVPA today and will wire the $$$ tomorrow.
Who knows when I'll receive the car. And, what's that, Tesla actually calls you??!?!? (I have gotten 2
phone calls but most of the important ones were made by me and I had to pull the information...)
 
5,158, reserved sept 2011. Returned mvpa within 2 hours of receipt end of August. Was scheduled for Nov/dec delivery. Then received "fast delivery" email Dec 6, responded yes within 1 hour of receipt.
Just spoke with DS who informed me that they have changed manufacturing order again and that I did not make it into the big group of VINs released yesterday. Looking very unlikely that I will get the car (shipped not received) by 12/31. Real bummer, arranged taxes for $7,500 credit in 2012, bought winter wheels and tires, started penfed loan, and notified insurance.
Car is performance, green/tan/CF, 21" silver wheels, all options but rear seats.
Westchester NY for delivery.

I'm also waiting and wondering what is up.
Was told car had been released to Sales for delivery 8 days ago,
delivered "payment in full" 7 days ago, -seems like it should be getting here any day now.

I keep asking, but as far as I have been told, it is still sitting in Cali.
Tomorrow is the fourth day of my window!

Not having been provided an explanation or time when car will ship is really stressing my holiday season. Everything begins when the car arrives, and I still have no real idea when that will actually be. Keep distracting myself, try not to obsess, but Crikey!

I bet ours are on the same truck.
 
P4510
Received vin 2741 for my P85 today
Told it would be ready for factory pick-up "just after Christmas"

I was told by my PS today that the last factory pickup events for 2012 are this weekend (12/22-12/23) They will resume in January, but they said that my car will be delivered via transport between 12/27 and 12/29, and I would not have the option to pick it up even though I live in Fremont. They said I could take the factory tour any time after 12/31.
Did they tell you that you could pick your up in Fremont after 12/25?
