You can read about it's past and originally intended future here, long overdue for an update. Now it looks like I'll probably sell the Wreckla and get a newer salvage with a 100 kWh pack when I get back to the project:

To limit OT, any further discussion of it would be better in this thread.
Electric "conversion" of a VW Westfalia using a Model S platform
Thanks!

Same boat. No production yet. Happy for everyone else though!
I notice that car has tan seats and probably one of the wood upgrades. I have the black ash and black interior. There is just a smooth arc from the bottom of the vents to the floor. I don't see how anything could be retrofitted in there that looks like it was built that way.

I hope so, but it does not look likely - I am still sitting "Order Confirmed" although my DS said that they are trying before the end of the month. The fact that I am not in production (or at least not as of the website) makes me think I may miss this batch (tears)...If that changes in any way in the next day or so \, all by Houston/Texas brethren will hear my shouts of joy
Yay! . That helps explain the lack of response I've had from Paramus... They must be swamped. Can't wait to hear about your experience!
Yup DS just emailed me that they're working around the clock to get the cars delivered. They are all being delivered by truck through so 8 to 10 days max... but they're busy, besides that, no info on my car... he said when he has something he'll send my way... give him a week and see what's going on between him and my Tesla page.... Let us know the experience after your pickup for sure.... Thanks and congrats...
Just checked MyTesla and I'm now in the two week window. June 17-30. Sweet!

I have arranged to pick up my new ride next Thursday June 16 ... thats 55 days from confirmation. Its been a very interesting time chatting, sharing our news and frustrations and getting to know you somewhat. Hopefully we will all meet up one of these days at a Supercharger or maybe a Tesla event. Good luck and safe driving to you all.
SackAttack. Pleasure to run into you in Lake Forest. I was amazed how many Model S were driving on that my same corner all at once. Which event are you looking to hit up. Getting the windows tinted thanks to DoubleE advise. Tried to get it done delivery weekend, may 28 but they double booked the slot. Maybe will see you at the social.
To the rest of you waiting for delivery. Patience my friends, your baby is coming. You want them to take their time to get it done right. And believe me when I say ... TOTALLY WORTH THE WAIT!! I haven't had time to post because I have had to much fun driving anywhere and everywhere. The delivery and all the follow ups by the team are amazing. I still have perma-grin. Such a pleasure to drive.

Sorry! I noticed you weren't in production yet so figured you'd be on the next truck. I'm betting you'll still get it by the end of the month. You are probably just a week behind us.

Right there with you buddy...

Hey man, it was great meeting you. I just found out I gotta be in San Diego this weekend so I won't make it to the social. I'm getting the tint done tomorrow.
Are you guys planning on getting 3M crystalline on the sides and back?
I've got GREAT news today too: My DS called me and we tentatively scheduled factory delivery next Thursday! I'm so thrilled!
BTW, my DS has dramatically improved in responsiveness since I voiced my dissatisfaction regarding the response turnarounds to Tesla (in the forum of a voicemail to the main delivery line). I really appreciate that. So for everyone else who is not happy with the communications from their DS, I would strongly recommend just voicing the complaint directly to the DS or to another branch of customer service. It's a lot easier to enjoy the anonymity of the Internet and bicker about our DS'es on here, but I was pleasantly surprised at the difference I saw after taking the complaint up directly with Tesla.
