Congratulations. That took 2 weeks longer that the Raven I ordered in October.
Probably because of the late afternoon cloud cover. My previous S was also MSM and loved it; good looking color and doesn’t show the dirt.
Simple newbie questions. I just ordered a Model S yesterday (Saturday) and got the confirmation email.
1) when is the first time that Tesla will contact me about anything?
2) when do you get a delivery date?
3) when does my order show in the app?
4) any other preliminary advice?
Thank you, and I look forward to this site.

Having been through the process twice, it should go something like this:
1) on your owner’s page at tesla.com you should have a list of 5 or so tasks to complete. The way title is to be taken, uploaded copies of all registered owners’ driver’s licenses, proof of insurance, loan application etc. Don't apply for a loan (if going through Tesla) until you’re sure of a delivery date. Your delivery specialist ("DS”) will give you better information on timing
2) your delivery date any be a little elusive. A "delivery specialist" should be reaching out to you shortly by email and could give you an estimate. As the day nears, you should get an email congratulating you on your purchase and asking for your availability. I understand that once the car arrives at your delivery center you have 3 days to pick it up or it may be sold. Again, the DS will advise you.
3) your order should be in the app by now. Keep checking. It will show a reservation number, "RN12345." Use this when communicating with Tesla, although they can identify you by your email. You might know when your car is being built when you get a VIN assigned on Your account. However, my last car which delivered December 2020 didn’t show VIN until delivery day. That was a hectic quarter because the federal tax credit was ending. Also, some folks were getting the cars/deliveries reassigned based on location and inventory.
4) preliminary advice. The wait is frustrating, although it looks like cars are being shipped in 2-4 weeks. Typically, cars going to Europe get shipped first, then cars going to the East coast next. I’d wager you’ll see your car in 3 weeks given your location (don’t hold me to that). The wait is frustrating, but worth it in the end.
Watch as many YouTube videos on the car as you can because the Delivery Center may be slammed with deliveries and you won’t get too much instruction.
Make sure to thoroughly inspect the car before signing anything. Tesla will fix anything you find, but that may not be so easy once you drive away.
ordered 1/14/20 2020 MS Performance. It said 3-7 weeks initially. Few weeks later text says 4-6 weeks. I guess it is getting shorter but this is just bad....I guess I will be probably getting it end of the month before the first quarter is over?
Ordered new Model S Performance Jan 8, 2020 - still waiting. Finally got a text message last week to schedule a delivery date (March 20 or later were the only dates available) - but they said that is a "soft date" and can change. No VIN showing up anywhere on the account yet. They did tell me to complete as many steps as possible on the account to help speed up the process, but not sure if that did anything or not. Someone else on this forum ordered the same car on Jan 18 and got his already. So I'm not sure how this all works.
If the other person was located back east that would explain the earlier delivery. Your delivery date is consistent with Tesla’s scheduling, which means we in the western states get late quarter deliveries, regardless of when placing the order. As to the VIN, I didn’t get mine until the day before my delivery, and only after I texted someone.
Cool - thanks for the insight ScottRoberts33. Losing my friggin' mind waiting for this thing! I sold my car at about week 4 since the website said "2-5 weeks" wait time - wow - that was a mistake. At the time I didn't know the details about how they deliver offshore first, etc...
The cruel irony is if you placed your order today your delivery date would probably be the same.
Can anyone suggest what to do... completed everything online on 6th Feb received a text delivery 3 - 6 weeks
13th Feb - Text Delivery timing update 3 -6 weeks
26th Feb - Delivery center changed to Lynwood, Seattle
9th March - Text Delivery 2-3 weeks
Called up TESLA customer care on 14th - they said now someone in factory will work on the order... still 2-3 weeks hold goods as per them
Any idea what's going on... anyone experienced the same.. or going through the same state.

I ordered my MS around the same day and still waiting. 10 days after ordering got a text saying 2-6 weeks. Last Friday got a text saying delivery will happen in a few days (no specific date mentioned) and delivery team will contact. Delivery will be done directly at home. Called up my Sales guy, he says he can see VIN but reluctant to give it to me as it may change. This is my 6th week from ordering I think.
We ordered on 1/02/2020 with delivery to Portland, OR SC. Still waiting. Unless, your (our) car shipped today or earlier, the wait may have just gotten longer. Alameda county (location of Fremont factory) has issued a shelter in place order effective tonight at midnight through through April 7th and applies to all but essential businesses. http://www.acgov.org/documents/Final-Order-to-Shelter-In-Place.pdf
With shut down today in bay area I think it will not happen for next 4 weeks...i guess so
This is my worry. I ordered a couple weeks back and was told I would take delivery by end of month (end of Q1). The lease is up on my other MS, so if they go dark for 4 weeks I'm assuming I won't take delivery until end of the end of June (end of Q2).
Hopefully they adjust and continue delivery from where they left off once everyone returns to work.
Yes, reports indicate Tesla was declared an “essential business”Tesla's Fremont plant will stay open amid Bay-area shutdown: report
May be good news for those of us still waiting on delivery....
I just found out a friend of a friend just took delivery of a Model S in Riverside County. Hopefully all you folks waiting will see yours’ soon.
