Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[McMestas]

How are you notified that your car is in production? Does your DS email you? How many days approximately is it from start of production to delivery?

I was told by my DS that I should be receiving my S around 3/24/18 give or take a few days.

My Tesla account status changed from “scheduled for production” to “in production”. My DS usually notifies me after the fact or after I pester her.

I know we have had a decent amount of recent deliveries. Can anyone confirm that they have the new S processor for the center screen? I am hoping since I had so many delays mine had this.

Congratulations on finally getting your car.

After reporting about the flood of cars at Tyson's I found out my car was not on the group.

It's sitting in the rail storage lot down in Richmond.

They gotta prep allota cars before they get to me.

I'd be disappointed too. Did they tell you when you will get yours?

I did scroll the map during my 11 mile drive to the wrap shop yesterday. It was very smooth. But I can't say for sure whether it is the new processor.

I should get it back later today or tomorrow morning. I'll check the processor and let everyone know what I find.

Doesnt it find it odd that they would actually deliver your car with so many scratches? My Bpillar was cracked among many other issues.

I personally believe 1 of 2 things are happening or maybe even both
1) everyone at Tesla QA is incompetent or don't care
2) they are banking on the fact that the owner never notices and they never have to fix the issues

Yes it did seem odd. A 20 second walk around the car would have found many of them. They could have (should have) buffed as many out as they could before I got there. You know, like every other dealership in the country.

I tried to put myself in their shoes (both the guy delivering my car, and the detail guy). At my location, on average they deliver one Model 3 per day, plus I don't know how many S and X's. Maybe it gets tedious after a while and QC suffers. It shouldn't, especially for cars this expensive. But it does. As a young company they're still working through these types of issues.

DS gave me a call today to finalize the delivery date.

Its set at 3/26 @ 10am.

Its gonna be the longest 12 days ever.....

For weeks I was hoping I'd get that call to set up a delivery date. I wanted to have a target to look forward to.

In retrospect it was probably better to get the call 2 days before delivery. 12 days would seem like forever!

@tostanford me too. new mcu?

I took it in for wrap. I should get it back later today or tomorrow. I'll check on the mcu and report back in this thread what I find.

At some point between 2pm and 7pm today, it happened. I went into PRODUCTION!

Almost couldn't believe my eyes.

Hoping to get the MCU update: Tesla confirms recently updating Model S/X media computer, results in faster and smoother experience

Congrats! Seeing that "in production" message show up is a thrill for sure.

 

[tostanford]

Thanks for the info! I'm only two and a half weeks in, and it has been! Hah!

Did the website tell you to plan for a June delivery when you ordered?

I just had to hit F5 one hundred million times over the course of two months and voila my vehicle went into production. I think that's the trick.

Seriously though, I found out on the website. No one let me know. Production is 4-5 days. Delivery is highly dependent on your location. My transit time was 2 days, then they prepped the car for 2 days until delivery. You're in California so I'm guessing your timeline will be similar. Since you already have a delivery date you can work backwards to figure out your approximate 'in production' date. Probably later this week or Monday at the latest. You're getting close for sure.

Did the website tell you to plan for a June delivery when you ordered?

Yes. It did. It changed from March to June just a few days before I placed my order. Although, my SA said it could be late-May or early-June.

That's a bummer. Although maybe it means you will get more upgrades that us March deliveries miss out on.

Hi all--first post here:

Ordered MS 75D on 2/27/18 in NJ
Confirmed: 3/2/18

June delivery, hoping its toward the beginning of June of course.

If configure a car today it still says June delivery. Figure the longer it says "June" and not "July" that helps my chances.

Cheers

I'd be disappointed too. Did they tell you when you will get yours?

Yea back to original promise date 23rd they were talking that I may get it as soon as the 19th. They haven't bumped me yet. I guess I was on the second train load of cars. or on the back of the train.

Do you think your car got a bunch of Rocks dropped on it, or sand blasted going through the desert? How can a car get so scratched up. It's like someone walked and brushed it off by had., which would be hard on the bumpers.

Received a status change in the past hour. Earlier this morning my MS was in production and just now it flipped to "Your Tesla has been built and is in transit from the factory"

What does the tesla app show your software version installed on the car?

My account status just changed to IN PRODUCTION! I had the same reaction - finally happening! NorCal seems to be getting to the top of the queue now.

Congrats on the new order. Welcome to the "limbo" forum where you can commiserate with all the other poor souls waiting for their status to change.
