Hey just as a side note, not sure if anyone else from socal needed the chains or is price conscious, but it was only about 200 bucks to order them from Europe, Tesla has a crazy mark up on those.
Try international ebay, got mine in last week and they were perfect!

Same for me. New cars with AP 2.0 hardware do not have autopilot activated yet. Saw an Elon tweet that said software by next week.

Santa's workers just finished building the car before Christmas - but haven't told me when we get the grand factory tour and can pick it up! The e-mail from 00:13 this morning says "Production is complete and your Tesla is being prepared for transit to Tesla Fremont. We estimate that your vehicle will be ready for delivery between December 23, 2016 and January 6, 2017."
Can't sleep now.

Wheel Specialists in Tempe. Darren is the guy's name. 1000 total which is a little more expensive than other quotes but they are giving me tesla spare wheels and it only takes two days as opposed to 7 days I've been quoted everywhere else. Also that includes center caps and lug nuts. Thinking about wrapping the chrome in black going to wait until I see what it looks like with the wheels and make a decision then.
There's a guy out of California coming out soon. I saw his work in this forum and youtube. He is the only one I know who wraps the rear chrome piece. The others I have contacted use plasti-dip. His work looks impressive in the videos and he gets great reviews. I am negotiating with him via text to do my clearbra and tint. He was my first choice but was too busy on this trip but contacted me last night and said he could do it.

Delivery appointment and factory tour time set: Monday, Dec 26.
Long time lurker...first time poster... 
Here's a new wrinkle on wondering where and when your car will get to you.
Ordered a 60D in November, got semi-frequent automated email updates, nothing really from my DS unless I reached out to him.
I should add that I live in Hawaii, so we had the extra delay/hassle of being shipped from California to the islands.
Couple of weeks ago, the finished/transit email arrived! Happy, happy, joy, joy.
Reached out to DS and politely asked on shipping timeframe...not much info...not even a ball park.
But he did say he'd let me know when it left port in California. Nothing ever came.
Thanks to an extensive covert group of operatives (Tesla Hawaii Owners), we discovered my car along with a boatload (get it) of other Teslas arrived over the weekend. Service Center is slammed but trying to shuttle them from dock to center and prepping.
As of Monday, my car was still at the docks, per sources.
I was hoping for a small scrap of updated info from the official side, but nothing.
Reached out today and the DS said no news from the transit team. But maybe next week...lol...
Soooooo, I'm in limbo but 99% sure it's on island.
I have no problem about them being crushed with end of year delivery and I'm not being pushy to get it today.
But wouldn't it be reasonable for a "Yes, it's here! Just backlogged in prepping. Stay tuned."
Thanks for letting me vent...lol... Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!

My 60D was delivered today. Tesla Highland Park did a great job throughout. My DS, James T., was great. He kept me informed of the major milestones. The delivery staff took my wife and I through the basics of the car and I verified almost everything on my checklist. One issue is that the car only charges to 215 miles but its close to what was advertised. Anyone else not hitting advertised miles on their car? The Tesla test drive was for 12 miles and 680wh/mi!! So maybe, if its anything like the Leaf, its dinging the estimated range based on that limited sample size of intense battery draw. Anyways, the car otherwise is FLAWLESS. I am taking to get it XPEL wrapped and coated next week but I couldn't bear to be without it for the holidays. Tuesday, though, I think we'll drop it off and get it protected and coated.
Looks beautiful!!. I live in Chicago as well. Where are you getting the xpel treatment completed and how much does it cost?

Thanks! The car was wonderfully detailed. A couple smudges and whatnot on the seats/headliner but those will come out. Chicago Auto Pros. Full front is $2k for XPEL. They are the best and I like their approach to customer service. I'm not in love with the price but they are the best in town and they are XPEL certified. The price seems consistent with other shops that are of a similar quality of work (and not in SF where the prices seem cheaper).
Oh and my car was delivered with the latest firmware for AP2.0 (the one with collision avoidance alerts and auto wipers and lights). The fact it tells you, to the inch, how far you are away from objects is amazing. My garage is a divided garage (pillar in center) so its tight (must fold side mirrors). The sensors are completely necessary to get this wide beast in there. My leaf was a breeze compared to the S. I'm so nervous until Summon gets going (and Summon+ might be necessary due to the lip entering and exiting the garage).
My S is finally in Production. I ordered it in July and requested to pick it up in Dec because I was trying to get AP2. Glad that I did that. Looks like it is ready to be picked up in 2 weeks. Need some referrals in LA on the following items. Please provide cost and experience if possible.
1). Coating and Xpel
2). Tinting
3). Car wash places
4). Accessories for SoCal people
Many thanks for your help!! BTW, my vin# is Vin: 5YJSA1E18HF17xxxx. It should be a 2017 car, right?
