Model S Delivery Dates and Sequencing
- Thread starter GeorgeB

Maybe it was a mistake? Or they got a bunch of Qs and realized it was silly to remove it? It's not like the # being there matters much, IMHO anyway; folks still get one when making a reservation, right...? So showing it there or not doesn't really matter.
But I'm guessing it was a mistake.

It's about THIS car.
You are assuming that the cars are built sequentially based on the reservation number.
That is not the case. That's why they set expectations of 6+ months to delivery when you ordered.
Tesla is clearly building cars in batches based on some kind of a scheme. Maybe based on material availability or minimizing machine set up or avoiding feeding the Herby.
I think this community is great but I also think that we are driving ourselves crazy demanding minutiae and detail and create expectations that don't exist. It's great how much info there is here but sometimes too much information can create more anxiety rather than calm
Agree, But. I'm cutting folks slack on this because of the attachment factor. For the vast majority of folks (on this forum) this is something they've been dreaming/thinking/planning about for a long time. I make an effort to live my life without attachment to outcomes and being open to all the possibilities. Having said that, I fully expected the car in late August, or September. As it became clear from this forum (gradually) that it could/would clearly come earlier I adjusted my expectations. I'm certain others did the same. My car is coming in a few weeks. I can truly see how even the calmest, most non attached person with a res # 6000 lower than others with Vin's and delivery windows (there's an 18,xxx a couple of pages back) would get a little spooled up.
Having said that, there are many folks who have the car and have never been on this forum. I'm seeing that on the Facebook pages recently created. Lots of people actually driving the car in oblivious delight. Lot's of questions that they would clearly know the answers to if they spent a little time here. One way is not more correct than the other. I guess it depends on personality.
I also think Tesla will work this all out when they don't feel as though they are in a frenzy to pump out cars. As for me, it's a huge moment in my life and I'm keeping it fun. First adopter glitches and all.:smile:

Congrats! I'm 600 spots away from you with similar configuration but no VIN yet. Gives me some hope that by tomorrow ill have one.
Like most others here with approaching deliveries, I have been patiently waiting for my VIN and an update. By "patiently waiting" I mean checking email, MY TESLA, and the app many, many times per day. Still no word, but I'm hoping for at least a VIN this week. highedu and gregincal, we're kind of in the same boat with similar Res numbers.
that's great Mika...this seems consistent with batching of 85, performance this week. I wonder when they'll start non-perf 85s? My guess is next week, but I hope I'm wrong and they start this week.
And thanks Borgie....
you might be special though...being the canadian reservation. I have yet to see US non-perf 85kwh with seq# 11,xxx to 12,xxx yet. However, I hope you're right. I'd rather get my VIN this week than next week.
that's great news...your prior post noted P85, so I thought yours was performance.
Called my Delivery Specialist this afternoon and finally have a VIN for the car. I'm one week in to my delivery window and doubt that I'll get the car by the time the window closes, but at last I have a VIN.
