Congratulations Aaron. Looking forward to hearing about your delivery experience and seeing photos.

Just heard from my DS - My Silver60 (P#2984) will not meet the original delivery window.
The new estimate is:
- VIN in next two weeks
- likely production complete at end of January
- likely delivery mid-February
Can't say I'm not disappointed, but I'll persevere.

Very sorry to hear this Babylon. Any word on whether or not the delay was specific to your car for some reason or if it impacts all of the 60s?
Today's delivery did not materialize. I go out of town for four days starting tomorrow. Bummer. All the shocking details here:

For those with cars stuck in NJ my driver left my house pretty quickly so that he can get up to Jersey to get cars out of purgatory. They are working to get those cars delivered as quickly as possible. Apparently, he doesn't do residential deliveries but Tesla/UPS has reassigned him to go get the cars. Hopefully some of you still waiting can get some relief (and your cars) from this.
My driver left an hour ago and said the same thing. He had one car left to deliver in King George VA tomorrow and then back to NJ to get more.

Thank you! Just finished my session with my DS. Both he and the driver were great. Looking forward to driving it tomorrow.
Scott just dropped my car off from the same truck, VIN 3,092. It was pitch black out so I don't have great pictures. Excited for the sun to rise. He is now off to MA for his last tesla of the load.

Just got word from my DS. Delivery window has been pushed back from Dec 15-31 to Jan 27-Feb 10. Zero reasons given. Pretty frustrated with Tesla now, but at least I might have a chance to win my over/under office pool of January 31st (I took the over).
The only thing keeping me from coming totally unglued is knowing that there are people in front of me in line that have not yet received their vehicle, and that there's a chance I'll get mine before they get theirs (especially those who ordered 85kW'ers). The people low on the list and still waiting deserve to be nominated for sainthood!!

Our VIN 1380 is going to be delivered tomorrow morning. Or, so they say. It's been a long frustrating road and maybe we'll be at the end tomorrow!

Delivery Delays
As reservation number 7006, I was originally slated for February/March. I responded to the surprise e-mail in early December and got a 12/15-12/31 window. I got a call in late December that said 'early January'. Wednesday, 1/2 I was told the car was in Arizona and coming soon. On Sunday, 1/6 I was told it was slated to be delivered Monday, 1/7 at 9 AM. On Tuesday 1/8 I was told the car was still in Arizona and now coming 1/10. You can read it all here with a healthy dose of sarcasm...

I play a nice person on twitter.
Ultimately Tesla is responsible for the delivery process. But you've read countless stories here on the forum at how unresponsive some of the UPS drivers have been. It would have been nice if your blog had mentioned that it was an independent company delivering the car, to give a little context.
Again, Tesla is ultimately responsible. But the whole story is nice for anyone who reads your blog.

I thought for sure you were getting it today! It should have been on the same truck...though he mentioned it was going to a Tesla tech first (winter wheels?)
Bonnie - Happy to post the whole story when I know it. I don't know who is delivering my car. Anything I guess right now would probably be wrong. Tesla hasn't offered the name of the company. All I know is my contract is with Tesla.
It's really about them getting a good stream of communication from delivery entity, to delivery specialist, to buyer. I don't doubt my DS is telling me everything he knows. That he only knows the location of my car within 1,000 miles and 48 hours is way off the precision of every other aspect of this company. Huge disconnect. Not the Tesla we've known to now. Big problem for them to fix.
Space-x can deliver cargo on time, within an inch of accuracy, 25,000 miles away. Let's get them to drop off some of these things!

Still waiting for my car. Paid in full 18 Dec. I was told today that it would be another week. Sainthood.... actually the whole walking on water may help me get my car sooner.

I take solice in knowing that I am not the only one with delivery woes. I found out today that my car made it as far as Oakland before going MIA. I've been trying to find out where it was for the last week. It has been sitting within spitting distance of the factory and no one could find it...

It's about THIS car.
Just curious about the USAA thing. Do you have to have possession of the car before they'll give you indefinite insurance? Why the temporary short term thing?
Al - Our policy runs in 6 month increments, 1/21-7/21 and then 7/21 - 1/21 the following year. When I called to insure the car last week, they put it on the current policy which ends 1/21. When I got to the County office (went there and DMV), I was informed they had to see proof of 30 days insurance to give me a 30 day temp registration. So USAA faxed over a copy of the next six months coverage.

Thanks for the quick reply. Just a little obsessive about having my ducks in a row. Been with USAA for over 30 years. Way back to the Air Force Academy days. They've been awesome.
