    But, what we really want to know is, what costume will you wear at pickup to put an extra smile on the DS folks? And will there be pictures?

    Why does it take more than a month to take delivery in NJ? Came out of production on 10/15. Shows on MyTesla as November 11 - November 23rd delivery, yet my DS is holding firm to a November 20th delivery date. This is one time I wish I lived in California!!

    I am so excited....

    Oh my goodness, I never even thought about a costume, that is hilarious! (ô‿ô)

    But wait! my avatar/title is actually true, so my dyed blue hair should be enough... Hmmm, maybe whip up some antennae on a headband to wear when picking up my own personal Intergalactic Spaceboat of Light and Wonder (thanks The Oatmeal).

    Thanks so much! It's been a long wait, watching in envy while the folks closer to the source have their car orders filled more quickly.

    and I heart The Oatmeal's humor so much, was interested in a Tesla before I saw his features about his car and about the inventor. He's probably sold quite a few cars with his work...

    My order was confirmed on 10/22 as well. Has anyone near that confirmation date had their car move into production? I'm still on the production queue.

    Considering that Tesla gave guidance to investors that they will build 17k cars this quarter, I imagine the factory is super busy!

    My wife's DS called, car is finished today, and may be in Portland by Wednesday (10/28)! Just a little over a month after ordering.

    My my wife has business to do in Portland this week, so she will try to pick it up at the service center rather than wait for delivery.

    Interesting... my 85D still says "The Tesla Factory is building your Model S."

    Did someone from Tesla call you and tell you these dates? I haven't heard from a delivery specialist yet. Maybe I should call...

    She got her email earlier in the morning, the web page did not reflect the status change until later this afternoon. Have you contacted your DS? Maybe your car is on the same truck :)

    LOL I must be the most lackadaisical the customer they have. I heard from the sales person I worked with that they would contact me soon and it's only been last Thursday since I was confirmed. Time to do some emailing tomorrow :)

    My vin is 114262, do mind if I ask what yours is? We're probably only a couple 100 apart, if that. Hope we both get our cars sooner than later. I heard Tesla is using a combination of rail and trucks since they have so many cars to deliver this quarter.

    My 70d has been in production for two weeks, I work across the street from the service center and have been seeing 111 vins on the truck and my 108 vin is still in production. I would like to know how some get built and delivered before others. I will see if it shows this week.
