If you actually receive that packet, I hope you will post about it (or at least PM me). I'm R#129, and I have not received such a packet. When I inquired about an approximate delivery date, I was only told to expect the car this year, and to expect more information 30 days in advance of delivery. As I am now an 85kWh configuration, I can't see any reason that my car should be built later than the P series.

I've had to let this go. Plus, for those with lower numbers, just because you haven't heard yet doesn't mean you won't get delivery before others who have already heard. Things are a bit hectic now for Tesla, and they're definitely learning as they go. I'm due to get my car the end of this month (October 26), and regular Ps are getting their cars the following week. Not comparing myself to others and just being happy my car is soon the be delivered keeps me sane. Serenity now!!
I'm 905 and have been quiet as I've seen others passed over up to this point. This morning I sent an e-mail to two Tesla personnel expressing my concern. Got a call shortly thereafter agreeing that I had the right to feel concerned, but everything is going forward. Both answers were similar. Batching, awaiting parts, among others given as reasons. Not sure wich option I picked that allows others to move in front of me (Sig Red?, White leather?, Carbon fiber trim?, Gray performance 21" wheels?, Pano roof? Paint armor? No rear seats?)

My delivery specialist told me yesterday that he won't know my delivery date until the car is on the truck and on its way. So, very short notice.

Emmm, Sig Special #183 here still waiting. Delivery seems to be a bit of a moving target. Hoping for an update tomorrow. :frown:

Man you have to be on the short list... PM me if you would like the phone number of the delivery specialist here at the Dania store...
Thanks Steve,
However, we have a different delivery specialist on the Florida West Coast and Nigel has his contact information.

I don't see any point in bugging them for updates - it's not going to make the car arrive any faster.
My 10 year old daughter asked if I need to be home to sign for the Tesla when it comes. I think she expects UPS to drop it off or something.

Also I don't know if the rest of you do this, but I find myself checking timdorr's spreadsheet several times a day to see if my car has been delivered yet.
I am not going to bug him any more...just checked in yesterday and got my response. At this point, it will either come by Friday or get pushed back. But soon it will be here.
I like your daughter's question, very cute.
I'm P83 and have still heard nothing.

A thought just occurred to me. I had thought because I'm doing factory delivery that it would assure being at the front of the cue. But because the cross-country batching appears to be so complex, I'm thinking that they are getting preference so as to get them on the road. And the factory delivery folks are slotted in when possible.

May be a logistical nidus.
You are "local", whereas I (P188) am in Texas. Let's say a few high numbered Sigs are scheduled to go out to Houston or Dallas and they dig in the paperwork to find a low P that is going there as well. Fill the truck, you know? So I get the call recently from Armen to let me know what the paperwork will be in my email today or Thursday. Being local, they simply roll the car off the prod line and do a local or regional delivery - a bit less hectic than a cross country drop.
Again, just thinking out loud here.

Same here. Regular Sig #2. No sign of the car. No VIN either.
So much for writing them a big check on day 1, back in early 2009.

I really feel for you Sigs. Logistics can be used as an excuse (a reasonable one to this point) by Tesla but, this is no way to treat folks who had locked in so much money for so long on mere faith.
Can there not be one person at the factory whose job it is to keep updating a spreadsheet of reservation number, VIN number (if assigned) and a delivery estimate (even a crude one) and send out emails atleast every 2-3 days to let Sig customers know that Tesla's still thinking about them? As has been said before, just a simple "sorry, nothing has changed in the past couple of days but, we haven't forgotten you" will make most folks happy, I'd think. Heck, I'll do this job for free in the evenings if Tesla lets me!
A topic for a different thread, but, I can't imagine why many TMC Model X Sig holders haven't chosen to drop to General Production yet. If I were in that position, I'd have done it eons ago.

I understand some batching issues, but that's just absurd. At a minimum, Sig #2 deserves communication and heartfelt apologies about why the batching is giving them the short end of the stick.

I don't understand why you weren't all over them, as soon as you saw Sig #1 delivered? You must have zen-like patience!
I am not sure I follow this. There are a number of Sig Specials that have not yet been delivered, they are all ahead of the regular Sigs.

I've not heard of many general production cars getting a delivery window, without calling. I guess they are holding off until they're all delivered? Seriously, my nerves are shot over all of this waiting. I think I need to go have a drink.
