Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[wdolson]

Any idea what the current timeline is to delivery upon confirmation?

That varies dramatically. It was almost exactly 5 weeks for me (early May to early June). The shortest I've heard of is 3 weeks.

Finally posting some pictures from our delivery yesterday at Fremont. The tour was amazing - really showed you how much work and detail they put into all their cars.

We didn't find too many issues after inspecting the car. We just found a couple of dirty spots on the headliner (there was a red arrow sticker pointing to a dirty spot but apparently no one cleaned it) and we also noticed that one of the screws in the frunk was screwed in tight but was only screwed in half way. We will have to go to a SC to get these things fixed.

Other than that, the ride home in traffic was fantastic (never thought I would say that)! The drive feels like I am gliding above the road. This is truly the most amazing car ever!

Are they delivering cars in a tent in the Bay Area now? It looks like there were a lot of cars there.

Does it vary depending on delivery location? im in So Cal, so I'm guessing it will shave some days off a cross country delivery right, oh well, i guess I am in the waiting zone... but 3 weeks is pretty short! I hope my delivery is closer to that!

I pick up tomorrow at the factory. 3.5 weeks after confirmation.

Yes, in a tent. About 12 deliveries happening at the same time.

So an update. I have not seen that i have gone into production but i get get a link to pay the balance due. So something is happening

I didn't get that link until my car was in transit. Congrats!

I just figured mine and it was about 6.5 weeks.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN, FYI. you will NEVER stop talking about it.

Exactly! I'm sure my husband thought once I got the car I'd stop talking about it do much, but nope! After a week of driving it, I'm still yakking.

On another note, my husband had a meeting in town yesterday and asked to borrow the car so I know he loves it as well. My separation anxiety was a little heightened during the excursion though

I'm getting mine today. Including transport to Houston, it's one day short of 9 weeks.

And the status still says it's been completed and is in transit on the MyTesla page.

^^^^^ LOL! I haven't been able to let go of the steering wheel since I picked up mine on Wednesday. I gave serious consideration of sleeping in it the first night, but the distance from the garage to the bathroom made me reconsider...

Interesting, so last that my tesla page has been the same and this morning around 2am I checked it and it said it was in production, email came in at 4am. But the page says I'm still scheduled for a late June - July delivery even though I have an appointment next week. I think it's been in production but they are slammed.

Yes, in a tent. About 12 deliveries happening at the same time.

They were building that tent when I picked my car up on the 17th. I thought it was going to be used on the weekend for a party or something, but I guess they are doing a short ramp up on deliveries.

My guess is that the delivery process is worse at the factory. They are pumping things out so quickly that they aren't caring for things they way they should (or others from other locations talk about). My car, for example, was filthy for a new car with 5 miles on it.

Would you be so kind to share your VINs (with one or two "X" at the end) and the corresponding confirmation date with us?
Thank you in advance!

Small world, I too picked up my car at the factory on the 17th!

What does your dates estimates look, mine went from a previous 2 week period to a later one? How accurate is it?

I had the "late June, early July" message during production queue status, then changed to "June 24--July 11" during production. After completion, it changed to "June 27--July 4" and my DS called and scheduled pickup for the June 29. I'm sure a big part of the end of June push was for Tesla quarterly delivery numbers, but I'm happy to be a part of that.
