Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[dnice]

@Tech_Guy congrats, hopefully the Q3 crunch helps me out as well

Nearly 2 months of waiting has finally paid off. Not sure who was more excited my two young sons or me! 75 upgrade was already installed but the badging isn't available yet so I have to go back for that. Autopilot is insane and the car is a dream!

 

[AxelF]

Picked up my 75D from the factory today. It seems they've got the range upgrades all sorted out now, both the badge and the computer showed 75D at delivery time.

Nice! Mine didn't come with the 75 badge but the battery is activated.

The second guessing comes to an end: I'm scheduled for delivery on June 25!

The long wait since I ordered back in March finally will be over.

Or will this one week feel like a month, or more?

I'm jealous seeing these quick turn around times!

Ordered 5/7, confirmed 5/14, vin 5/15.. and not in production. When I ordered I was told at the gallery that I'd get it in time to take advantage of the $2,000 PA state rebate ending 6/30. When Late June - July came in I let the DS know I was hoping to take advantage and he said "I will do my best to get it here for late June." He let me know it would be entering production "a week or so" on 6/6.

After seeing it lag behind & not enter production I pinged my DS and got what I read as a snippy email saying "June delivery will not be possible". Might ask if I can push delivery back if I'm missing the rebate window anyway. I'll be traveling most of August so might prefer to not have the new car sitting around for a month. Has anyone pushed theirs back close to when production starts? Is that even possible?

Everyone who has said that "once you go into production things move quick",.. Is absolutely correct..
DS Just locked in Saturday June 25th as the pickup date (Tesla North Houston).!!!
I went into production Monday June 13th. Not bad --12 days from production start to delivery to customer in Houston Tx.
( They really want to move allot of cars before the end of the month )

Thanks for the heads up! I'm in the process of scheduling for Friday or Saturday.

You guys please remember to post pictures. Some of us laggards need something to cling to...

I'll be watching for your pics. I think the Titanium is gorgeous in sunlight or shade.

KaBoom! Just got the "In Production" email. Now, you guys won't have to put up with my whining anymore!

+1 (888) 459-7130. Moe Mistry of Glistening Perfection

thank u! I'll contact him right away!

I had the service center unscrew them for me. I did the rest but just those weird screws they took off

which service center did you go? I asked the delivery center in Costa Mesa when I took mine but they wouldn't remove even if it's just the special screws.

 

[Bor ocsave]

He's a member here under MoeMistry, but I did a search here under just Mistry and found his business is Glistening Perfection

thank you.

Just entered production

 

[AxelF]

For those waiting on midnight silver, enjoy! Just washed it for the first time...is it possible it could be shinier than water?

Looks great! Just picked mine up in the same color- love it. Can't remember, did you say you had it coated?

 

[Zybd1201]

still feeling left out. I'm guestimating mine will go into production in the next 5-7 days. Hopefully. confirmed 6/1, VIN 1461xx

 

[Sandman1962]

Picking up Monday at 11 am.

Then straight to the detailer for wrapping. Wow!

Does anyone have any thoughts on how the license plate looks in the front. I feel that the front looks a bit empty without. I had a Maserati and I did not have the plates because it would cover the crown, and that sucks a little, but the plates on the Model S look like it adds a little to the car. I don't particularly like the front plates, now Jersey requires both plates, but I've never gotten into any trouble in the Maserati for not having both... I guess I'll decide when I get mine... It's all a matter of opinion and preference so no ideal answer for this one...

The hatred some people have about the front license plate is kind of a tempest in a teapot, IMO. Here in Washington, it's mandatory, so I didn't even consider removing it. I told my SO about the controversies about the front license plate holder and how some people ripped them off as soon as they got home from delivery and she rolled her eyes.

I think the front license plate holder on the refresh looks more natural than on the original. It looked like a tacked on extra on the original and it looks more integrated now. Though I'm not a huge fan of the new nose.

Yes, gtechniq crystal serum, plus Xpel just on that flat nose!
