One order in California : Ordered 12/3 and has the car already. And a few more out there like that.
A delayed order is like a non-order. If you couldn't take it in Q4, you stand the chances of being de-prioritized while they do a bunch of Model X builds in January.
Given that people got 2016 Vins "just for the asking" in December 2015 means that Vin #s are not really as strict as they used to be. The highest Vin #s have the most value, of course, so if you don't mind waiting for winter to end and for roads to clear of grime, March isn't too bad and you get a very high Vin # and who knows, maybe new equipment if some are introduced. I'm sure you'll see it before 3/31/16.

Taking delivery of my 85D tomorrow. Made the decision today to add Opticoat+ and XPEL(front only) to the car. This means I get to keep the car for an entire hour before dropping her off for the paint protection. I hate having a new toy but not being able to play with her. At least I get her back the next day, of course this means two round trips from ME to MA.

Really only one day? Wow that is fast. Shops around here want one day for paint correction and then one or more days for Xpel installation depending on the amount of coverage.
But I hear you... I am greatly torn about leaving my brand new car off for a few days. I guess I can easily go over there and sit inside the car and fiddle around and generally make a pain in the arse of myself. :smile:
I am going to have the entire hood, front, front fenders, headlights, pillars, mirrors and side rockers wrapped. I am toying with also doing all four doors. I am also giving consideration to having the front windshield wrapped but I am not so sure about that yet.
I have paid special attention to used model S's which come into the the local SC as CPO turn ins. The frunk hood, front nosecone, front bumper, front pillars alongside the front window, both side mirrors, lower rocker panels especially behind the front wheels and the area that bulges out in front of the rear wheel wells seem to take the most beating. These are the areas that get the rash and chips from what I have seen.

I'm getting opticoat as well tomorrow. Who are you going with? I saw a lot of good reviews on SeaJay's in Billerica and decided to go with them.
The one day turn around was mostly guaranteed. Since I'm bringing it directly from the SC and am having the SC bypass some of their normal prep it actually saves them some time with paint work. I'll know for sure when the car is inspected at drop off.

I admit I was not able to do much research other than discovering no one near me in ME seems like a good bet. I ended up going with QCarCare in Burlington. A couple of friends from my days living in MA have used them with positive results.

Seajays has done over 50 Teslas but you can't go wrong with Qcarcare. They are at all the local car shows and the cars they have worked on look pristine.

As of this AM we are at 123,866 from the Jan-Mar 2016 tracking spreadsheet.
The VIN number progression has be constant and orderly.
Our tracking spreadsheets tell the tale of only a very very small percentage of the orders.
The JAN-MAR tracking sheet shows a really strong bias towards European and Asian orders.
