To the new owners with the new style keyfob holder ... how does it securely attach to the fob? Looks real cool, but just from pictures, it seems the fob can come loose and fall out on either side.

- I will definitely post more pictures once it gets chrome delete, nano-fusion, and opti-coat.
- The rubber stretches around the fob to cover it. I just took mine off and you have to stretch it a little to get it back on. It holds the fob VERY well and I can't imagine it ever falling out unless the rubber loosens over time. The inside of the rubber fob holder is smooth rubber that sticks to the actual fob very well and doesn't slide around.
Thanks Erik
I feel for you. My situation isn't as bad as yours, but to let you know I went into Production on 5/20 and still stuck in there. I'm coming on 3 weeks being in Production and my DS has no answer. Again not as bad as yours, but still a frustrating situation. Hopefully this coming up week will be good for all of us whom are waiting.

I took way too many, my technique was all over the place, i was in awe.
ENJOY THE PICS: Model S Gen II - Multi-coat Red
Awesome!!
Thanks for sharing, gives me something to look at during the long wait for my MC Red. Being in Switzerland makes the whole delivery process way more agonizing, just as a reference: I confirmed on 3/18, went in production on 4/8 (getting the refresh!), in transit since 5/11, supposed to be delivered end of June, early July

ALWAYS IN LUDICROUS MODE! P90D>P100D Upgrade
Update from my DS says car should enter production Tomorrow or Monday FINGERS XX
Looks like my DS was right Got my Production notice Saturday night at 8:20PM PST!!
My DS mentioned it in regards to the delay and said the factory was retooling to improve panel fitment when I stopped by this week to pick up a new high power wall charger.

It might be!
I had a window of 6/5-12 and they called me on the 3rd to say it was ready for pickup.
Of course that would require paying almost $6K in Mass taxes so I instead am having it trucked to tax free NH on the 7th.

I felt like you. I would love for someone who is picking up their car and touring the factory to ask them the question about how they choose which cars are being produced. Would love to know, as any kid of pattern escapes me!
It took 24-36 hours for the website to get updated after I got the production e-mail. I never got an e-mail or a notice on the website that the car had been shipped, my DS told me last Tuesday it had come in on a truck, but it was going to be 6 days before I could pick it up!
It's kind of funny, but the first thing my car will be doing is hauling stuff. My SO told me that the microwave we dropped off at a shop that is sort of on the way home is ready, so can I pick it up after getting the car. And we have a bunch of stuff for Free Geek which is only a couple of blocks from the microwave repair place, so I might as well go there too. She can't go because she has to meet a client after taking me to the Tesla service center. So we'll have to transfer the Free Geek stuff from her car into mine before she takes off.
It seems sort of strange to be loading up a new Tesla that has just been delivered with a bunch of obsolete electronics in the service center parking lot.
Only 29 hours to go...
My SO waited until I got mine back from the detailer to tell me I needed to take one of our cats to the vet, as the carrier is too big for his Camaro (big cat= big carrier). Just what I wanted, a sick cat in my freshly detailed S! But, I do love the cat so...
Here's a quick pic that's awesome for a couple of reasons...This is me and my nephew, Christopher, after taking a fun spin in my new car. Christopher is 27, and has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, so is in a wheelchair. He has always been very passionate about cars, although he has never driven. We've shared that passion since he's been on this earth, pretty much. He generally only rides in their van, or his biological father's truck, as it is difficult to transfer him into a standard car. HOWEVER, Tesla! He was the first person I gave a ride to in my 60, so yesterday I stopped by and we got him in this one and he got the full ride and demo of all the new features. I think you can see his review in this pic.

Hopefully you'll get the "Oh by the way, your car is here" call this week. Gotta be ready by now!I feel for you. My situation isn't as bad as yours, but to let you know I went into Production on 5/20 and still stuck in there. I'm coming on 3 weeks being in Production and my DS has no answer. Again not as bad as yours, but still a frustrating situation. Hopefully this coming up week will be good for all of us whom are waiting.

Greetings!
Just officially joined (and added to the sheet). Great threat...and great therapy for 'the wait'. Ordered, Confirmed and VIN on 6/2.
Planning for power and treatments/upgrades....and counting the days (and minutes and seconds...driving my wife nuts.)
Thankfully there are a couple coworker MSs at the office already (and a couple J1772s) so I can get my fix in the meantime. I get to borrow them pretty regularly...but when I offer for a weekend swap, you'd think they were confusing my current 2013 750i M Sport with a Yugo. No interest...whatsoever. That alone says a lot. Can't wait.
So far plans are for 40 (maybe lighter) windows and maybe light/clear windshield in 3M Crystalline and Gray or Black 20" T Sportlines.
Researching the various paint treatments and coatings, which I've never done. So far I like the sound what Btrflyl8e has done.
Thanks all for the great info. Will try to contribute as things progress.

Anyone here the spanking new black 90D owner (with Harrison Ford lookalike) in MDR this morning? I forgot to ask you if the bike fit with its wheels on?
Good to know. I don't know if I could handle waiting 6 days while knowing the car was done and at the center. Sounds excruciating!
