We did delivery at the Tesla Factory in Fremont this morning, as well as going on the factory tour. We followed up this evening with a drive up to the Golden Gate Bridge and Marin Headlands to give it a spin. I'm absolutely blown away by everything. The factory is amazing, I felt like I was in a Willy Wonka movie, and the car is better than we imagined in every way.

Got mine today.

Every thing looks good except, I am finding that the phone charging dock for my LG G4 is useless.
Especially with the cover it does not fit in the cradle. If I remove the cover it fits in but the usb connector is misaligned.
Good luck to all of you guys (& gals) !

I have the same problem with my iPhone case and the charging cradle. I found a connector extender on Amazon for just that situation. I should have it tomorrow.
From the delivery pictures, it looks like various delivery centers put more effort into it than they do in Portland. The car was parked in a space the looked like a storage locker with rather dim lighting. I'm sure once they get their new space in Portland renovated and get moved in there it will be much nicer, but the current delivery area is an after thought.

Good catch! Perhaps there's a learning curve? The more miles driven the more acclimated the car becomes to its surroundings? It's just a baby now...be patient

My DS responded to my query last night at 12am! Here's what she said:
Your Model S did arrive! It will be going through the pre-delivery inspection sometime tomorrow! Once it is complete, I will let you know!
So excited...can't believe the day is almost here. My 2 older boys are at scout camp for the week and the 3rd is at an all day camp until Friday so delivery tomorrow or Friday would be perfection!! Keeping my fingers crossed that the car came off the line with no major fixes!!

Keep us posted! I'm looking forward to hearing about your delivery experience. I find that Whitney's time estimates are pretty accurate.

Ok. It's really getting real. My MyTesla page is now asking for payment. Guess that means it's getting ready to be shipped!
The Tesla blind spot alert system is literally a blind spot alert. It won't alert to cars that you can see in your visual range. However, if you attempt to veer dangerously close to them, you will see yellow, orange, and red side alerts on both the front and the rear, and the car might even jerk the steering wheel in the opposite direction or start yelling at you in the instrument cluster.
(PSA: Try that with a friend / family member. Traffic probably won't appreciate a giant luxury sedan trying to get super close to them)

THAT'S a good sign! Excited for all the Houston group! Still keeping my fingers crossed for my "In Production" status. Whitney says any day now.

Yes! I got that email the first day of transit! So your baby is on its way! Congratulations!
I haven't paid the amount yet, as I read a post from someone whose car was held up 10 weeks after payment was made due to unforeseeable circumstances (it sounded like there were some major problems with car). Therefore, I am waiting to pay until I hear from DS at the end of today as to whether my car passed inspection

Once your car goes into production, it's a fast downhill after that!

Am I the only one who's a little nervous about driving the car? I am so paranoid that I am going to do something stupid and wreck this thing that I just spent so much time and money on.

My car is in PDI today and I pickup tomorrow.
After 4 nights of no sleep, I'll be sleeping deep with a tesla grin tonight!

That's great! Was there any reason given for your delay? Or was it just the usual quirky Tesla way?

It took 54 days to get started but then it hit production, production complete and in transit all within 24 hours. And I'll still have the car within 60 days of confirmation. Super quirky!

Haha I speak from experience: Do lots of driving on delivery day and do not plan any morning drives! Otherwise you'll have a few more days of sleeplessness until all the excitement wears off.
