I am from Vancouver Canada - I have thought about flying down to Fremont but there are reports that one has to pay California tax on the car. Does anyone know what would happen if I paid for my car up here and bought my plates with me. Technically the car would already be mine and there should not be any tax payable or collectable. I would have paid all of the required taxes in my own jurisdiction, and it would already be a British Columbia car. It would be a fun and interesting trip. I am 1409XX and still waiting like most on here it seems.
Talked to my DS on Friday to make a few changes (Midnight Silver, here we come!).
VIN 141xxx, for delivery to Houston, TX. S70.
Scheduled to go into production the week of June 5th, scheduled delivery June 20th. My DS says no later than June 30th delivery.
An interesting side note is that they were toying around with sending my car via rail. Given the experience others have had, I politely asked that it be shipped on a truck. She said that it most likely will be via truck, but the people taking delivery after my VIN in this region would probably be via rail.

There is a bill in front of the California legislature that is called the Tesla Tourism Bill that would allow people form outside California to pick up cars at the factory without paying sales tax. It hasn't passed yet, but it probably will be possible eventually.

My car was very late, so I requested truck. My DS said it was highly likely to be transported by truck but nothing is 100% guaranteed. Production took 4 days. Transit was by rail (very disappointing). It took 22 days.

My delivery window just switched from May/June to May 23, 2016 - June 6, 2016
No email update, but I spotted it in myTesla tonight. With a bit of luck I'll be over at the factory this week.
(edit with other dates, Ordered 4/2, Confirmed/VIN 4/10, Production Started 5/18)

Yes. $500 to change options after confirmation. If you have multiple changes, it's just a one time fee if you make all of the changes at the same time.

I am from Ohio (apparently one of Canada's southernmost Provinces based on ON license plates) and I had planned to try this to shave some weeks off my wait time. My DS said essentially the same thing: "you will end up having to pay steep CA taxes plus Ohio taxes". Told me I could visit the factory anytime as an owner. That may not help much. Perhaps being Canadian negates all that. Exchange rate and metric/imperial conversion always gets in the way too! ;-)

My delivery is also in Atlanta. My DS tells me it should go into production this week...confirmed 5/2...did you get ongoing info with good dates from your DS? He told me 20 days transit, including train time. Seems slow as molases!
Mine is almost at Chicago. Train time was about 2.5 weeks. The DS said it is because the train stops at various locations along the way, and has to rearrange the train cars. That takes a couple days for each stop. That's why it takes so long.
