Ordered 90D on 7/22 - Estimated Delivery was Late August

Received a call from Delivery Specialist on 7/31 - Estimated Delivery first 2 weeks of September

Model S 90D: Deep Blue, Tan Next Gen Seats, Pano, Autopilot, Subzero, Premium

Do we have a "tacking P90D deliveries"? I'm very curious about initial deliveries and Ludicrous launch!!!

What is your full VIN?
My full VIN for a 90D is 5YJSA1V2XFF099068
It looks like Tesla is using a new value in digit 7 for cars with 90 kWh batteries.
I'm wondering if the P90D has a different value than the 90D.

Sorry for the double post. I'm not sure how to fix the typo in my previous post.

Now I have to find that VIN thread.
So what is digit 8? (2 vs 4?)

VIN: 99511
Ordered 7/25, confirmed 8/1, entered the production queue on 8/2. Estimated delivery was changed from September to Late August (probably because I live in California)
90D in blue with most options selected!

Thanks Bifff!

2 = Dual Motor - Three Phase A/C Induction
4 = Dual Motor - Three Phase A/C Induction Performance

So a 90D's VIN will be V2 and a P90D's VIN will be V4 in digits 7 and 8.

My car which started production on July 10th is still in production. The estimated delivery is now moved from August to Late August. What a bummer. GOPJEW, congrats on the car. Enjoy.

My DS told me on Friday that production was completed. Today the MyTesla page was also updated.

I'm VIN 97585. Ordered 7/10, confirmed 7/17. I'm still in production queue and says September. How is that possible when I am almost 1000 ahead of you?

Orders are not assigned VINs in the same order they receive them. They are assigned in the order they believe they will produce them in. However, as new orders come in their optimal order changes. So they move cars around and they don't end up producing them in VIN sequence order. The VIN sequence is nothing more than a unique identifier for the car. You can't draw conclusions from it.

Okay, but what about the fact that I placed my order 10 days before him and was confirmed 10 days before?

You're in Ohio. He's in Washington. More volume of cars going to Washington. Less going to Ohio. If Tesla made your car sooner you'd be posting about how ridiculous it is that the car sat around for some number of weeks before being shipped. As it is people still complain about how many days they sit around. This happens because Tesla fills up a truck to go to a service center (even when they ship partly by rail they end up combining cars on trucks going from the rail yard to the service center). They're not going to ship one car and then another car a few days later and then another car a few days after that. So if the service center you're planning to pickup from sells 12 cars a month and the carrier is full already for August, you're waiting until September. Also Tesla wants to minimize the time from when they produce the car till you get it. Tesla manufacturers a significant amount of the car themselves from raw materials (metal and plastic beads come in, car goes out). So the longer the car sits around or is in transit to you the longer it is till they get the money back to pay for the raw materials they used to make your car. The more float capital they have to have to keep everything going and they may be paying interest on that capital.

Thanks for the very informative post about the process. Makes sense!

Why do the days feel so long while I'm waiting for my car????

Happened to be in the mall today where the store (not delivery center) is. The OA told me that the Seattle service / delivery center delivered 500 cars in July. Those guys are BUSY! Must be trucks to Seattle daily.​
