I think they use to do that, but not needed anymore.
As far as 'Dashboard' on Tesla site--it's not accurate, so don't panic.
I hope mine is accurate, because it just switched to "Production Complete. Your Model S is being prepared for pickup or delivery." :love:
I was at the Tampa Service Center yesterday to have my tires rotated and whatever service bulletin items needed to be done (window clips), and I heard them say they got 5 cars in that day for delivery. On my way out I tried to sneak a peek in back and saw two white ones on a carrier...
Im being told the same thing by my DS. Apparently next week they're building a batch of 60's and mine will be one of them. Whether it's BS or not I can't say.
It's not BS, the cars are done in batches. The P85's usually get made more quickly ($$$ talks ;-)). This was written about a lot on the forums in the early months when we were waiting for the factory to catch up with all the early reservations.
Same situation for me. Dashboard says sourcing parts--DS said "tentative pickup around 9/28." Hope that he's right!

Quick question: can someone tell me when I get connected with a DS (which I assume stands for delivery specialist)? I confirmed my order on 9/1.
Mine, too. I´m scheduled for 9/28 (at 11:00AM), but car is still ¨sourcing parts¨ on dashboard. I presume that someone is manually controlling dashboard status vs. it being an automated feed from the production schedule.
This is not correct... I was at the factory yesterday and asked this specific question because on the line they had a few red, then a silver, then a white, then another couple of red... some were 85's and some were P85's... some had single chargers, and some had dual.
They run down the line and build them to the spec sheet.
If you haven't done the tour, I would suggest it. It was pretty cool seeing all the parts, and the final assembly of the Model S's!
Everybody is extremely friendly and happy to answer your questions.
Mine was "sourcing parts" for a few weeks and then things started happening fast. My dash changed to "building your Model S" (this was very exciting) and I asked my DS where it was in the process and he got back to me that same day and told me it was in their paint room! He then said it would be I the build process for about 5 days (if I remember the conversation correctly). Then, about five days later I got an update that the car was with the QA team and would likely be loaded on a truck just 3 days after they were done. 3 days later (this past Thurs) it was on the truck for the cross country trip. I have to give props to my DS, Andrew Clark, in Watertown MA. Andrew has been very attentive and helpful. Great experience so far.
I feel very luck to say that there is a chance I could receive my S85 just 33 days after the day I confirmed my order.

It's weird they give the DS access to the specific steps on the production, but the dashboard only has the big, general categories.
