I'd be on the phone every single day if I was still waiting. Probably multiple times a day. Don't sit around and wait, be aggressive and get the info out of them as to what's going on.
Do you know where in Indiana? I often see a Roadster here around Indianapolis. I would love to encounter a Model S in the wild.

Tulsa! Now that's getting closer to me. If you want to make a road trip to Springfield, MO area (Bass Pro, Branson) I've got a NEMA 14-50 you can borrow.

Yeah, I'm SSL 162 and my VIN is 112. (SSL 152 lives near me, and should get VIN 111 some time this week).
Or at least, I'm told my VIN will be 112, if they ever find the transport truck that has my car...it's been driving around for about a week, but still not made it to Seattle, and they don't know where it is or when it will get here. I'm not in a hurry, but I really don't understand why they told me the car would be delivered last Saturday if their transport company doesn't track the vehicles or guarantee a delivery date. Several other local owners have also missed their delivery date for the same reason.
UPDATE: Tesla called, and apparently I misunderstood...the "lost" truck was rerouted before it picked up my car, not after. So my car had just been sitting at the factory. It's on a truck now.

I've had this experience. My car (not an S) had to travel a couple thousand miles to me and somehow was *lost* for a period of about two weeks. Trucking is sort of like cyberspace or the Bermuda Triangle, only sometimes you get lucky and things are found again.
Hang in there. Someone is probably just joy riding in it for a bit. :tongue:
Just finalized my delivery appointment -- this Friday Sept 28th in Los Angeles. Special Signature #208 -- non performance, pano roof, white paint with paint armor. Very excited!
Also, I was at the event this evening in Hawthorne where Elon unveiled the supercharger program. A New York Times reporter drove from Lake Tahoe to Los Angeles today -- 500 miles -- in a Model S with two 45 minute stops at supercharger locations which had been secretly built and have now been announced. There were about 15 Roadsters and 4 or 5 Model S in the parking lot driven to the event by guests; plus another 4 or 5 Model S used in the event.

Got a call from TM HQ last night. They're sending final cost paperwork today. They asked that I send a check for the amount due via fedex, or wire transfer funds. Once they have proof of payment, my car (VIN # 184) will be loaded with others heading to SoFla and will arrive "by the end of the week or early next." Of course, that's assuming that the truck doesn't get lost.
I should have my Model S next week. WooHoo!!

Congratulations! I was told that even in covered transport the cars get dirty and that (in FL at least) they're doing a complete detailing and check over prior to delivery so don't be surprised if it's in the store at Dania for a couple of days before they'll let it out.
Hello Tesla Motors Club members,
I am a reporter with the NY Times and I am doing an update on Tesla after today's news from the company. If you have actually gotten a Model S, or have one reserved, I'd like to chat! I am on [email protected]
Many thanks,
Peter

While waiting for my Roadster to arrive back in 2009, I called my rep and said why don't you give us the tracking number for each of the delivery trucks so we can watch "our" cars going cross country? He paused and said, dumb idea. I can't manage the email/phone traffic now, can you imagine what it would be like to field the calls every time the driver stopped to use the facilities of a truck stop? Six people would be contacting me, asking why is the truck stopped, was there a wreck, is my car okay, etc? I thanked him and said I was sorry I'd bothered him. It was almost like he was saying we were not mature patient enough to handle the truth. Having watched the start of these deliveries play out, this time from the sidelines, I see what he was referring to. :wink:
