Wiki Model S Delivery Update

VIN 1588 is in the back of a trailer. Saturday, 8am.

Excellent News! The numbers in Texas are growing!

I received my registration papers via FedEx today!! I think I'll drive my ICE vehicle to pick up my plates downtown tomorrow and write another hefty check. Tomorrow evening, I'll hit the road!!

I'm OK holding off for one more day -- my puppy was none too happy with the time I spent in the driveway and garage yesterday. In fact, he left me two different gifts(!) I'm hoping for better weather tomorrow, too. :biggrin:

I missed out on the Fletch thread. Let's start up an off topic thread for "Movie quotes suitable for Model S owners" or something to that affect?

I'm ALL over this. Great idea by ClearwaterBchSteve!
 
The Dogs' Ramp-Up Revenge

-- my puppy was none too happy with the time I spent in the driveway and garage yesterday. In fact, he left me two different gifts(!) I'm hoping for better weather tomorrow, too. :biggrin:

I think the dogs know that Tesla is ramping up. They are furious about the detail to S-Bling, and lack of Fur detail. Mine ate a full bottle of Chili Powder last night, including most of the plastic bottle.
Hot Dog! I am afraid that next I'll find a half-eaten loan check.

P2067 - just filled out the DELIVERY red button info on the website. No VIN yet. But have a delivery estimate of Dec 12 - Dec 26, factory pickup. Configuration below.

Hey it is odd you have a delivery Button and no VIN, and I have a VIN but no Delivery email/Delivery Button - same delivery window, just different coasts.

I think it has to do with the Product Specialist handling it - and maybe delivery versus factory pickup? I emailed today to check in again since my last ping was a week ago. He called and said no VIN, but he said the car should be done this month so I could go ahead and fill out the stuff on the website. He said he "activated the delivery tool" on the website so I could get that going.

Yes, I can confirm ours (Houston) vin1309 (r123) confirmed for truck delivery tomorrow pm, and another lucky sole in Lufkin tomorrow AM.

Lynn, can you confirm registration occurs at county tax office and not DMV.
 
Car is delivered. VIN 1708 P3385

I'll post more tonight!

Car is great, but it was hard to appreciate with the crap weather

Wonderful. But no complaints about the weather - you have about 2,100 reservation holders wondering how you got a car so fast! Well done! Pics!

54 cars ahead of me. About 3 1/2 days of production. After 3 1/2 years. That's cool. The excitement is... contagious.

I'm 3 behind contaygious in the line, however, I'll have to endure the pain of waiting for cross-country shipment and home delivery so it will be a few weeks for me. Anybody going to the the factory within the next few days, please look for the Silver Streak. So far I think I have the only config with silver paint and silver 21"s (the Model S prototype's config BTW). :cool:
 
However, one interesting thing that I've learned is that Tesla is 'sold out' of 19" wheels. This means I can't get the winter tire package, at least not right away. But I'm guessing that this situation is also having some effect on the Model S production schedule, specifically delaying non-Perf orders with 19" wheels (or Perf res holders who elected to throw away the 21s and order 19s). Is this consistent with the experience of those who have a 19" wheel model S with a window?

I've heard the backorder is 7-10 days or something on those wheels.
When I ordered the Pirelli snow tire/19" wheels, on Dec. 3, I got back the following note from Tesla:
The item you ordered from our website is currently out of stock. Typically, we will have stock of this item within 3-10 working days, and will fill the order at that time, and ship as per the original ship priority.

Perf 21" CF pearl white. Worst case options package

Had window of dec 11-25, no VIN despite asking

Yesterday notified ready for pickup. Vin 1469

Woo hoo!



Picked it up today! Fantastic car. Very happy with my config. Have not really driven/played with one actually... blown away by the software coolness, and I don't even have the update yet!

Factory tour was spectacular. We spent over an hour walking around and checking everything out. Love all the automation, all the insourcing, what an amazing piece of plant. Strolled right by Elon working at his desk on the factory floor but decided not to interrupt him!
