I think that is why they said the model 3 roll out will be from west to east as well. They have a terrible logistics system in place.

I'm actually very happy with my DS. He updates me whenever I call, and he pings the car to make sure I get the latest location info while I'm on the phone with him. We often wind up chatting for 20-30 minutes. The problem is that the Delivery Center is hostage to the shipping issues as well as the customers. He also told me he can influence priorities for shipping somewhat, but everything has been for naught to this point.
I did call Freemont, and they transferred me right back to the DC. According to the DS that answered the phone when I was transferred (not my regular guy), Decatur GA has not received anything from Birmingham since last week. Apparently there are 200 Model S's sitting in Birmingham waiting for transshipping to their destinations - over $20 MILLION dollars in inventory. Why some are not getting out in a timely manner no one seems to know.
Delivery of my 90D was scheduled today at 11:00 am in Decatur Georgia, however I received a call from the assigned DS at 3:00 pm yesterday, informing me the 90D is still in Birmingham, and will not be available until earliest Saturday or Monday. Frankly the communication from the DS is horrendous, I initiated every communication (except the phone call yesterday). Granted there are a number of cars in B'ham waiting for truck transport, however as a TESLA customer I expected the DS to be on top of the situation and not wait unit the afternoon before delivery to provide the update. It is amazing how mismanaged and perhaps uncaring TESLA's 'post sales' departments really are

After reading many comments for people getting their S delivered to Florida I think it's a matter of timing and location.
Tesla Q1 is almost finished so they were pushing as many deliveries as possible to meet guidance of 16,000 deliveries. At this point, it appears that they have met guidance of 16,000 deliveries, which is probably why they are stashing cars at the rail. They are probably trying to push deliveries into Q2 because they are expected to deliver more than 20,000 to meet FY2016 guidance for 80,000 to 90,000 deliveries.
The Model S tracker has many Model S outside the US being ordered with delivery well into Q2.
It does seem unusual for Tesla to keep vehicles in one area for a long time.
What do you guys think?

Got 133101 yesterday in Portland, OR. Pearl white 90D (delivery specialist said was their # 1 selling car). Just blown away by this vehicle. AP is a game changer. Got pano and premium, tan seats, matt wood...just < $100K before $7,500 rebate.
One thing I learned is GET the car even if you can't afford all of the option. Go with less. Heck, don't really even need pano. You don't need fancy wheels. You will forget about them once driving. Just get into one of these!
Delivery specialist said his ideal config is $77K. That's a big difference from $140K or even $100K. The existing stereo is great (of course there are always better sound systems). Ride without SAS was wonderful. Hard to forgo premium, but would rather not have that than not have the car. etc!
Just hope it all doesn't become obsolete in 6 months........

Picked mine up yesterday from the San Diego SC. Mike and the team do an excellent job prepping the car and making the delivery experience something special. Got a nice swag bag or Tesla goodies as well. My daughter didn't make the test drive so got quite a shock when I hit the throttle. Tesla grin soon followed.

Great pic. Mine was in that exact same spot on Monday. Mike is awesome and it's been a great first week with the car.
Finally going on Saturday at 3pm to pick mine up. I have a tennis match Saturday morning which I doubt I will be too focused on I hope they suck lol. I will post pics after I pick up and drive it around. I have not posted on that spread sheet as I cannot get it to work I fix cars for a living I never work with spread sheets I will post my stuff here and maybe someone else can put it in.

Picked up on 3/23 in Tampa. The only thing I can say is Amazing! Used autopilot for almost the entire 2 hour drive home. The delivery team was great. The had at least 20 Model S's inside in various stages or getting ready for delivery, and 3 or 4 Model X's.

Two weeks from date of order or date of confirmation?
I've also ordered and am leasing. As far as I can tell it's only the $0.25 / mi charge so I'm going for the 10,000/yr and will pay later. Doesn't pass the break even on the per mile versus 12K/yr until about 34,000 miles total.
