Wiki Model S Delivery Update

My ds is really good with emails. He gave me a window today to choose from aug1-3 10am5pm i took first available so aug1st 10am i should have car. He said if car comes even one day sooner he will try to get it to me sooner
That's funny. I've had three different delivery specialists since I placed my order, and none of them have emailed me. And I've received two "out of office replies" from two when I tried to email them! I don't really care, but the contrast in our experiences is hilarious.
 
So. I emailed my DA again today. I got an auto reply from the manager of all the DAs that she was out and returning later tonight.

Thought that was weird. Called the SC main number and selected the delivery option. No pickup after two calls. Ugh

Called my SA and asked what was going on. Turns out that my DA has left the company...Thanks for letting me know.

So my DA looked up my VIN. Said the last check in was Alabama on the 9th. Estimated to arrive to the Tyson’s SC on the 20th. Give or take.

So. I’m guessing hopefully by Monday the 23rd I’ll be scheduled for delivery. My SA said he would contact the manager to let me know who my new DA is. I also sent the manager an email requesting the same.

I didn’t voice displeasure but dang, how come I have to do so much work to find out some info?

Sorry. Just ranting cause delivery is so close.

Cheers all.

mine has not changed since the day I bought it, probably because I bought a pre production car.

Would you mind telling me what this means, this "pre production"? I've been around auto-manufacturing for years and the only context I know of for this is the cars we build for testing new features, launch promotion, etc. I've seen it mentioned in the Tesla forums world several times but I don't know what it means.

I'm particularly interested because I was told my car, order submitted on 6/12, would be ready for deliverly likely between 7/16 and 7/23. My original site change to "your car is scheduled for production" came around 6/15 when the VIN was assigned. My experience, and the tracking spreadsheets, indicates it takes 3-4 days typically for a Model S to complete production (most of that and lengthier delays are paint-related, I'd bet), so I would expect it to be in production around now (I live in SoCal so filling a truck heading to OC and transit time should be a couple of days) and that's consistent with what they said earlier this week. They said it is still in Fremont and it hasn't cleared end of line release, so today I asked when it entered production. I would've expected around 7/8, the first time they mentioned it was in production (on 7/9 they said it was in the frame area) during one of my calls. The girl put me on hold and came back to check the model and emailed me back that it went into pre-production on 6/18 - 3 weeks ago. Anyone know what's going on there?

They found a car that met my exact match that was already going into production, ahead of where if I started from scratch my car would be. So in turn, it is ready quicker.

Do you know when yours had entered "pre-production"? There must be many meeting that criteria, based on the VINs I'm seeing in the tracker and their correlation to the production start, end, and delivery dates. Curious.

I bought it on the 12th of June and it was in pre production then, but didnt end up going into production for a bit, thats about all I know.

Mine ordered 6/1 and just got an email from da saying this

Congratulations on your Model S! I’m excited to assist you moving forward with your delivery. Your Tesla has not entered production yet, so we don’t have a confident timeline on its ETA, but it will definitely be between August-September. Once it does enter production, I’ll be able to give you a much better timeline. I realized in all our previous communication I never confirmed any information with you! Do you have any travel plans we should keep in mind?

Am very taken aback at this point .... Late July was the original target now aug/sept? Very dissatisfied now .... going to sc and discuss this with them ... with all the fast fast fast m3 news it would have been quicker to order a m3 in June.... ugh

I ordered 6/4. If I get this response I’ll probably cancel my order. Each day that goes by makes me question again whether I want to spend this much on a car.
