Wiki Model S Delivery Update

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
Ordered 75D on 2/13
Confirmed and received VIN on 2/17
Estimated delivery is late March/early April

I'm going with Multi-Coat Red and EAP.
YAY! It's not a terribly painful wait with all these good people on this forum. They have all helped me during my wait, answering questions, explaining things to me where I can understand (I am a techie, which is probably unusual for a female, but the first time I heard about Tesla I KNEW I would have one someday.....and I will be getting my Model S THIS FRIDAY!) I promise, this forum will help you along and make the wait a bit easier and certainly more enjoyable. What's more fun than talking about Tesla to other Tesla owners and Tesla lovers?!!! This has been a Godsend for me and has been a very productive past-time that has allowed me to practically zoom thru the wait! Congratulations and I'll bet your beautiful Tesla will be here before you expect!

My first post ...

Placed my order 12/16
Confirmed on 12/20
VIN posted on the website 1/25
Saw the status change to Vehicle in Production on 2/16

I haven’t heard anything from my DS.

I have a factory tour scheduled on the 21st. I don’t know if I’ll be able to see it on or off the line.
FYI, and it's a good FYI, too! I ordered only 5 days before you did and my status changed to "currently in production" on the 9th of February and my ETA is this Wednesday, the 21st and I take delivery this Friday, the 23rd. Yo u should be right there with me and expect a call from your DS shortly. I predict (getting out the old crystal ball) that you should have your Tesla by March 1. Congratulations and good luck and expect a call from your DS regarding completion of your order details very soon!!!! Plz keep us posted now that you're on this forum! Wish you could've been here sooner, this forum has been wonderful to compare notes and talk about what we are all so excited about! #LovemyTesla

You guys are making me feel like I am off on a siding somewhere. My account page still says "confirmed and scheduled for production". I ordered on 01/15 and got my VIN on 01/29; I know it has to be very close to starting on production, but some of this recent posts seem to indicate that the production line is outpacing the the consumer relations communications. I can only hope.

Hi there,
My first post. Ordered 1/9 CF 1/12 VIN 2/8 Not in production yet and
starting to feel behind a lot of you guys. Yes, Ive been lurking for quite awhile.
Will admit patience is not one of my attributes, but am more than glad for y'all and
your enthusiasm for the brand.
 
OH, that is so AWESOME!!!!!! I am so happy for you! I know you are excited!!! Good for you! Could you just post a pic of your new Tesla when you get it??? This is just wonderful, great news!!!! Congratulations!!!
Excited isn’t the word lol I am beyond excited. Luckily I’m extremely busy this week and weekend so it will go quick. Already have the tint scheduled for the the next day and the first very mini trip a hour south to the Heat game. I own a photography company so I will definitely be getting some photos lol

I ordered the same model on the exact same date as you. I placed my order in the middle of the night of Feb 12, got Vin on 16.
But my DS is not that responsive as yours, he just said there will be some quiet time from now on until I am notified.
I hope your situation applies to me too. Sounds very promising.
 
Got some update!! My Tesla is aboard Toesnberg ship which departed from Baltimore on 5 Feb and should arrive to Zeebrugge (north of Belgium) on 15 Feb. Tesla website is now correctly updated (see previous confused status in below quote) and foresees still delivery in Switzerland end of Feb - early March. My DS aims rather for end of Feb latest.

Quick wrap-up for my MS key dates so far:
Ordered: Oct 2017
Confirmed: Nov 2017
VIN: Nov 2017 but updated on early Jan 2018 (due to production year)
Production: mid Jan 2018
Embarked on boat to Europe: early Feb 2018
Delivery: planned around end of Feb 2018 (which would be not so far off from very initial estimates of mid Feb 2018)

So my boat arrived to Zeebrugge as planned. Called my DS to check if delivery date could be narrowed down. Answer was not yet until the car is actually charged on truck. From that point on, I collected some quite interesting info:
- 800 Teslas (S and X) were transported with same boat mine was. 600 for Norway, 200 for Switzerland
- Norway has priority for charging in trucks due to number of cars at stake
- First light outdoor inspection is performed in Belgium in view of already ordering materials and pieces for repairs where needed
- It appears 20 cars are charged on truck per day (I assume that is 20 per day per destination country) - eg 10 days needed for the 200 cars for Switzerland
- For cars to Switzerland, first stop is for customs formalities in Basel, then off to Jura entry service center, then dispatch to various service centers within Switzerland, then detailing and preparation for delivery at your local Service center.

Most interesting info was to know 800 cars on that specific boat. Depending on the number of boats per month, that may give a rough idea of S and X per month to Europe.

Wow. Didn't know you can get so much details from DS. I am in Dallas, Texas, I guess it's straight forward, so my DS doesn't care much about me.
 
Same here @Goofykiller. My DS isn't the most responsive either. I emailed him Saturday morning, and still don't have a response yet (I realize they're closed on Sunday). I get very irritated with non-responsiveness. I would rather him tell me that he didn't know rather than have complete radio silence.
Lol. I guess the quiet time is not that easy to pass by. the 40 days waiting time until I have it in my garage will be the longest in my life according to Einstein's theory.
