Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[Sm4llz]

Congrats!

You probably won't have to install the upgraded license plate LEDs. I had ordered them with the rest of the lighting options from Abstract but my Nov 85D already had the upgrade LEDs that are not removable.

Congrats and welcome to the forum!

I just received my 85D (replacement for my P85 I just sold):
Confirmed 2/1
Delivered 3/4 (front)

I have plenty of modifications scheduled. Most are which I previously did to my prior P85. I picked up the car Friday afternoon, but had kid's birthday parties/sleepovers both Friday and Saturday, so I couldn't start anything until today. I spent most of the day working on it. This is what I have done so far (just today):

• Lighted T (front)
• 9500ci radar (concealed install). Radar and GPS are in nosecone. Controls are discreetly place on dash. Sorry, no pics yet.
• Blackvue Dashcam (front)
• Magnetic front license plate

Here is what I have left to do:

• Blackvue cam-rear (just need to run the wire back to the hatch)
• Upgraded trunk lighting
• Upgraded footwell lighting
• Upgraded license plate LEDs
• Install aftermarket spoiler (ebay)

For those who are less of a DIY type, a guy on this forum put together some easy upgrades to the car's lighting here (Abstract Ocean). A little more expensive (not much) and maybe not as bright as my solutions, but otherwise great reviews and easy to do.

Medel S 90D | Midnight Silver | Pano | Tan Nexgen | UHFS | Subzero | Carbon fiber | Black Alcantara | SAS | Autopilot | Premium interior | Standard 19" wheels

That's when I'm getting mine too.

I will be driving like crazy this weekend!

Unfortunately, I fly out of town on the 13th for a week, so I'll be leaving my car in the airport parking lot after a day and half of driving it like mad. Maybe I'll take an Uber to the airport and leave the car in my own garage. That sounds like a better solution.

Looks like my car arrived in Milford today. I still haven't been contacted to inspect my trade in, did anyone else get this close without having the inspection completed?

 

[ArtInCT]

Yes my inspection was 3 days befor my pickup. I do suggest you call Jordan or text msg him.

 

[mjstokes]

Thanks Art. I sent him an email earlier today, but will call him tomorrow if I don't hear back. How long did the inspection take? I don't want to delay my pickup so I am hoping they can do it while I am at work relatively quickly.

Hello all I just signed up for the forum right now. I have been stalking it for about a month. I'm happy to say I just placed my order in Monterey on 3-5-16. I received my VIN today (133130) a couple of hours ago. Ok, so NOW I believe I'm getting a Tesla!! The wait will be tough but I can do this. It will help that I have a lot to read on this forum. My Tesla says delivery is late March-April. I know that seems quick, but I need to take delivery before April 1st or I will lose some rebates.

Model S 70 Black
Pano
High Fidelity Sound
Upgraded lighting with black Alcantara headliner
Autopilot
I also got the new Slipstream wheels

Picking up my car tomorrow in Chicago (West Grand Avenue). 85D, Deep blue metallic, body color roof, premium interior, AP, subzero, dual charger). Can't wait to cruise by the gas stations and laugh (although perhaps my emotion should be pity).

Wife's car is still an ICE (Camry Hybrid), but planning to drive down to Indy to put a deposit on a Model 3 for her on the 31st.

 

[taldric]

The wait is difficult! Mine ends Friday but has seemed interminable at times. I too passed the time reading and studying here on the forums, and reading through all the owner manuals from Tesla.

Good luck on the wait.

We discussed the inspection on Firday and it was done on the next Wednesday. It took 15 minutes. Approx 50 photos taken.
Final offer was the next day.

Confirmed/VIN 2.19
In Production today, 3.2

Pretty quick.

Still showing late March-April for pickup in Charlotte.

No email, happened overnight in My Tesla just like wolfson292.

Well, just logged in to see Estimated Delivery April 1 - April 15 despite a note from my DS yesterday saying late March still looking good. Booooo!!!!

I just got off the phone with my DS. My 90D is on a train to Birmingham, about halfway through the trip.
Looking good for a two to 2 1/2 week out delivery.

An interesting tidbit - he can talk to my car. I wish I could...

My DS emailed me today saying that my car completed production in the afternoon of March 8 and is now being staged for shipment in the coming days!

My vehicle went from late march to March 31-April 15. I'm guessing its outta production.

I think my 70 is on the same train because they ended production the same day and my delivery is in Florida. Maybe they truck them from Birmingham the rest of the way. If you are right about the 2.5 weeks that is rather long transit, considering some cars made it to the northeast pretty quickly by comparison. My DS has no info whatsoever.

yeah I think to NJ/NY/CT is all by truck whereas the other areas are by train. Train takes a lot longer due to the amount of stops it makes and the time it takes to fully load a train. They might have to wait for many cars going to relatively the same area to be produced.
