Neil at Tesla is the man! He is taking my delayed car issue by the reins and getting it done. Here it is, VIN 809 (Sig #371) in a lot at Tesla:
So the deal is they are taking the delayed cars and applying a "hot" sticker on them, allowing that car to get parts first so it can be expedited. They are only doing this on the Dreaded 28, who are being made about 200+ spots behind where they were suppose to be. They are still having small issues with suppliers, as they are short some parts (they have CF trim but it is in short supply), don't have other parts (parcel shelves, substantial floor mats, the new visors, and sun shades are all going to be due bill items for everyone). Mine above has no rear bumper, no interior other than the CF trim (?), and is awaiting water testing. I have to admit that as bummed as I've been about the delay, I was giddy to get this picture. Neil has been much better at communication, and they said I'll be getting updates daily on it. Seems like they are also going to expedite shipping, but that answer was a little foggier. All in all seems like Tesla is making an effort to get it right for those delayed!
