Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[NeilErdwien]

Proof that the exact timing of orders is mysterious: Chris P and Jumper ordered 13 days apart, and production started the same day. Both are going to Illinois, so there should be no "build cars that take longer to deliver" effect on these two.

I'm two days earlier than Jumper, and my DS says production should start tomorrow.

 

[Alex D]

I was confirmed on April, 7th and I am still in production queue - have not entered production, yet.

 

[DoubleE]

For those in Southern California, how long after entering production was your Model S delivered to your service center? I'm supposed to pick mine up from Costa Mesa, CA... still haven't entered production yet, but curious on the timeline.

They group cars with similar features. I know they batch by color, but I think they also batch by battery size and some other features like pano or body colored roof. They also group by destination.

If your car is one of the rarer colors or configurations, it may be delayed longer than a more common configuration. I'm seeing VINs later than mine predicted production around the same time as mine, or a little earlier. My car is pearl white with body color roof, and cloth seats, so it's a rare configuration.

I looked at the excel and saw the average was 11 days in transit. 5-7 days in production

Just logged onto Mytesla and noticed that my production timeframe has now slipped to June-Early July!

Was at Late May - June.

This jives with my DS telling me that my car won't go into production until the latter part of May. VIN 141xxx. I'm assuming I'll take delivery in the mid-June timeframe.

I'm also picking up in Costa Mesa, high five! My DS has said that factory pickup vs. SoCal delivery won't make a difference in date.

So far randall_s is still the only post-refresh order (4/12) that has entered production. randall_s - can you confirm your order date? Was it 4/13?

Any other orders from 4/12 or after that have entered production yet?

My order date was 4/8---order confirm was 4/15. My S completed production and is in transit from the factory.

 

[NikeWings]

Ummmm.......do you think Tesla notices that I log into MyTesla hourly, hit refresh 100x-200x and then stare incredulously at the same old production queue status?

 

[gsxdsm]

My order date was 4/8---order confirm was 4/15. My S completed production and is in transit from the factory.

Yeah, it's interesting that every order on/after 4/12 has not yet entered production (except for randall_s). 4/12 is the date the refresh and price increase was live in the design center.

After more than a month in production my car (VIN 1345xx) is now also in transit!

Hope all will be alright after this very long production phase.

 

[2virgule5]

Mine got also moved from Late May/June to June/early July. Not yet in production. VIN 1414xx.

They group cars with similar features. I know they batch by color, but I think they also batch by battery size and some other features like pano or body colored roof. They also group by destination.

That makes sense... but the two cars don't have that much in common:

Chris P ordered a 70, white, black next-gen seats, piano black interior

Jumper ordered a 90D, deep blue metallic, tan next-gen seats, matt obeche interior, jump seats

Both ordered pano, premium, autopilot, and the subzero package. 90+% of people order pano, premium, and autopilot, so they aren't good discriminators. Subzero could be -- I assume several extra wiring harnesses are involved. And they are both from Illinois.

In any case, trying to predict the timing seems difficult.

I suspect there are factors in how cars are grouped we haven't thought of.

I could see some features wouldn't make a big difference. Some are the same hardware and things are just enabled by software like the 48 or 72 A charger and AP. I would think the colors interior and exterior would want to be grouped. We also don't know for sure if two cars started down the line on the same day. Tesla isn't good at updating customers, some people get updates on the site at every step and other people see things hang in one step for a while then leap forward. This may be due to some human updating status and some are better at it than others.

They have a lot of space in the plant, they could assemble a number of chassis in white, paint a batch of them a given color, then set some aside because they are going to get batched with some other feature set, and others go on the line right away. With a multi-day process, there are many variable ways of doing things that we can't figure out with the dribs and drabs of data we get.

Absolutely agree.

My order (P90DL)placed 4/12 went to production three days ago. Little panic here because I really want new AP! :/

Here is the link to update your status: Model S Order & Delivery

Latest Update:
Ordered: 3/29
Confirmed: 4/6
VIN: 4/6
Production Started: 5/4
Production End: 5/9

My Tesla page says "Your Tesla has been built and is in transit from the factory." My DS told me that while it is built and on a train, the train is not moving It is waiting on the rest of the train cars to fill up. My DS said that it could take up to 30 days for delivery, but typically 3 weeks. My Tesla page says delivery window is between May 19th and June 2nd. I'm hoping for earlier rather than later

 

[Soundchasr]

Confirmed 4/19 and my DS says won't enter production until 5/23 and probably won't see until mid to late June. Ugh.

 

[MSullivan]

My order date was 4/8---order confirm was 4/15. My S completed production and is in transit from the factory.

One day behind you on ordering and no movement on my 70D.
