I agree, it sounds like bad info. It makes no sense to break down the paint setup, only to restart again in the near future.

I agree, but what is going to happen with European Sigs? My guess would be that Sig Red won't be available for them. There isn't any European pricing yet available and I don't think that I get my #EUSig84 delivered anytime soon.

Just to be clear I was only reporting on what I was told. I was told that there are 1000 US Sigs and that as soon as they are built they are moving to start building the US Ps.
He said that "we will start building the Canadian Sigs later in the year". He was very clear that US Ps will be started prior to the Canadian Sigs.
Did he give me bad info? Possibly. That's why I suggested that Doug might also want to call. I guess it's also possible that there are some snags in getting everything in place for shipping to Canada.
I'm NOT trying to interfere with Can Sig deliveries at all. It would be great if they could knock them off quickly after US Sigs and then get on with our Ps as someone suggested here.
Hey, I looovvveee Canada!! The trees are just the right height there!
;/) Sorry, a little US political humor.
But then this could apply to Canadian Sigs, too. On the other hand Tesla could also do a reasonable amount of Sig Red bodies ahead and store them away until Canadian/European production is ready. I guess it probably won't be so much of a big deal assuming producing the bodies is not the limiting production rate factor.

By the way, they have at least 10 paint booths, so they really wouldn't have to "shut down" the Sig Red painting in order to get started with US Ps. They could be done in parallel.
Right?
True that. I also have no idea how much of a hassle it is to switch colours for a paint booth. Maybe no issue at all.

We definitely don't want to shoot the messenger :smile: I think all of us are sensitive on these issues, and with the way things have gone in the last fw months it's hard to know what's true, we do make a lot of assumptions, and a few surprises have popped up. So far the only reliable sources seem to be George B and Elon, and the reps who don't say very much or try to answer every question.

Agree! My comment about 'bad info' was not directed at a forum member, but rather how many conflicting stories we get from Tesla reps. I know the intent is good, but they (like everyone) may fill in knowledge gaps with assumptions & then they state it in such a way that it becomes fact.
Certainly my original rant was directed at Tesla, not the messenger.
If this information is wrong, then clearly Tesla has a major problem with keeping their people on message. I'm starting to think some of their people say whatever the customer wants to hear. A bad strategy as this inevitably backfires - guaranteed.
If it is correct then my original rant stands. :scared:

There are a host of deliveries and windows posted on the official Telsa forum that aren't recorded on the wiki spreadsheet or posted here at TMC.
I understand that they have ten painting
Bays so not enough to use both of the different colors of red.
I would like to suggest that they please add and 11th painting Bay so we can get our sunset red color asap!

Am I reading the sheet right that s964 has an vin already, but s1299 is being delivered at the end of October? That's a big difference in about 300 sequence numbers.

The sequence isn't exactly perfect. Between geographical batching, parts delays, and other issues, your sequence number is exactly set in stone. But still, we have up to 569 confirmed cars either produced or at least at some point in the production process, based on VIN. So, sequence isn't going to matter much for S/SSL's in a few weeks

Wow. I was beginning to think that my Signature will not be arriving until November since it has been so quiet... Now I don't know what to think!
