Delivered Signature #121 - Vin #513 - Signature Red, Performance, Pano Roof - 11/2/12 - Most remarkable car I've ever driven. Thanks Kelly for a perfect delivery experience. Thank you Elon for working so hard to bring me the next car revolution. I'm Lost for words.
 
Sig # 267, Vin # 532 delivered yesterday (Friday) at 2:00pm in Bellevue, Washington. Sig. Performance, Red, Carbon Fiber interior, White interior, 21" grey wheels and all the options except paint armor. The car is incredible! Ben our delivery specialist did a fantastic job of walking my wife and I through all the details of the car. Due bill items are the rear spoiler, child seats and the parcel shelf. The car came with the cubby below the touch screen and the rear seat reading lights. Only had a short time to drive the car yesterday, so will post more after we have had some time extended driving time in the car. It is definitely worth the wait, so hang in there everyone, the wait will be well worth it!
 
I received an delivery update email yesterday from TM. I'm P264 - ordered blue, performance, grey leather w/ carbon fiber, 21" grey wheels, tech pkg., spoiler. Initially the grey leather was a hold up but now am told it will not impact my delivery timing (was november timing). Email says they expect to complete the production run of the sigs by mid to end of november, so they expect my delivery before the end of the year. Did warn me of a possibility of Jan 2013 delivery.

My gut tells me I'm a december delivery, but it's good that they are managing my expectations.

Congrats Blurry_Eyed, I'll be on the lookout for your car around town. :)

Was it an unsolicited email? Did you get an actual range? Jan scares me! Thanks for posting!

Funny they are saying mid to end of nov for production of sigs when there are not many left.

I pinged them a couple days ago to get a status and no I did not get an actual range but more of an expectation setting. It was nice to just hear from them and frankly I just think they are being careful not to over-promise and under-deliver. Told me that they expect to have a more "targeted estimate" at the end of the month.
 
No, a Tesla employee will have to tell that to you over email or phone.

They're likely already above that. This week should work out to around 225-250, based on the VINs that are being delivered.

The highest VIN is at 942, so that really won't be that bulky of a bulk mailing :)

It is 1:20 pm Sat 11/3 With several emails and phone calls to TSLA for S-1092 …. no VIN yet! We will see about mass email on sunday :cursing:
 
Not yet. Assume end of the month I will get that and a delivery range for sometime in December (fingers crossed).
I'm P367 and I hope that delivery does not spill into January. That will delay $7,500 by a min. of 12 months, that is, if the federal tax credit even survives. So a Dec. delivery is worth a lot of $$. My one hope and prayer in life (next to a new baby) is a delivery on or before 12/31/2012. Sounds like if the delivery specialist said the remaining Sigs will be rolling off the line by the end of November, then the production has not ramped up as much as I had hoped. They should have all of the Sigs off the line by 11/15 ideally, but we know that real life (i.e., suppliers) have gotten in the way in the last several months.
 
George B. just posted in the Canadian delivery thread...
"Hello Canada!!! Just a quick note...

I know some of you are wondering if there will be a "Signature Update" coming your way similar to the one in the US several weeks ago? Yep, we will do so shortly. We needed to wait just a little longer to finalize a few things before sending it out. It will be hitting within the next week or so... all good news too!

General Production reservation holders will also be hearing from us soon. General Production configurations for Canada are on track to start right around the end of the month.

You're probably in the same boat as I am. Your body-in-white has been produced and is in a "holding area" as they complete the cars more-or-less in order, following George's prior e-mail. My "factory-finished ready-to-ship" date is 11/12 and working backwards, I'm expecting a VIN on Tuesday or Wednesday-ish. Given the difference between yours and mine, I'd expect about 3 days' difference, which would have you getting a VIN right about today or tomorrow.

(consider this post to be with respect to Dec 31, 2012)

I know we will not be done production of Sigs until mid November. I have accepted that. The number of CAN sigs to be delivered (depending on which story you believe - CAN sig not until Jan or CAN sig good as per George B) is sufficiently small enough not to severely impact the R or Early P deliveries. Certainly my post is skewed, as I am an early P ... and several of us (early P's) have had endless personal email diatribes on what is, what was, what will be and what could be ... all of this is speculation.

I will say that I feel (after a certain discussion I had with a certain financial person at a certain company in Fremont) that everyone up to a relatively high three digit P number* will be sufficiently happy on or about Christmas/New Years eve.

Just sayin'
