Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[NigelM]

Just received my VIN# 247, one more small step to getting my Model S. :smile:

Guess that proves the batching and also likely indicates that there wasn't much deferring ahead of me.

At this rate, when do we expect the first non-sig delivery?

Congrats, Nigel! Can't wait to see the pics when it arrives.

congrats Nigel, sure is nice seeing these triple digit VIN numbers going out!

Two tiers. Maybe more.

Manufacturing likely has batching and after that, the delivery process probably has batching as well.

Confirmed up-thread already.

Looks like my config sig 703 matches 371 except I'm getting silver wheels and paint protection. I want my car! (whine)

I can tell you nothing in your config should be holding you up, as I had the same until I switched wheels and removed paint armor a few days ago. In the delivery email they even give you the option to switch wheels at that time (in case your didn't realize that performance grey meant dark grey, not silver.) I was told they arent allowed to say why certain res numbers have jumped ahead in the queue, but that they had a meeting with GB about it on Thurs and he will be posting an explanation online any day now, as "we saw the forums light up about this." It was implied but not said that it is geography that is causing the batching.

@brianman: What is your exact config?

Not to be coy, but I'm not posting it until I have a delivery date to post with it.

I can PM it to you if you like. It's nothing unusual.

 

[NigelM]

Not to be coy...

Why do people say that when they are being coy? :wink:

That's what they told me for Europe as well.

Although we are still a couple of months from delivery away they told me that me and my colleague (200 reservations apart) will probably get our cars at the same day. Due to logistics they'll be delivering a batch to Germany, to Belgium, to the Netherlands, etc, to keep it regional. Sounds very logical to me.

That could explain the difference in deliveries.

Heh. Nah, I just don't think it's right to post "here's my config, that I don't have a date for yet" in this thread and I'm glad other people aren't doing it.

No problem. Your secret's safe with me, your avatar and your post in the other thread. :wink:

brianman's config here:
Test drives @ stores indicates Sig Red, pano roof, black/red interior (perf), carbon fiber.

Read the post for how I derived the info. To my mind it is a common config, I'm not seeing the unique part(s).

Got my VIN for SSL 146: 246

 

[brianman]

Didn't realize there was so much interest in my config. Heh. And, yah, wasn't attempting to keep it secret. Just avoid polluting this thread with "psych" posts.

Congrats. The Chicago store can take care of you with winter tires. I just called them last week about this for my parents in Indiana.
