Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[texex91]

Texex91 looks like you may be right - after I told them about my birthday next week and trip booked for the weekend and they're going to see about giving me one of the loaners for the weekend as long as one is available which will be awesome.
.

See--all's well!!

Tex, I was hoping you could hit a thousand posts before your car arrives! Running out of time now.
The car is simply arriving too fast.

Just wait until the final 48 hours.

I'll get busy posting, to try and hit 1000 :biggrin:

Congrats, texex! To quote Depeche, very soon, you "Just Can't Get Enough" and "Enjoy The Silence"!

And let's not forget "Black Celebration"--after all it's a blk/blk P85+.

So it seems that more posts on here correlate to a quicker delivery time, I need to get to work!!!

Take pics now--no hands on wheel required. Those of us waiting want to see it!

Well, glad I had fun last night. Got up to go work out this am and at 6am got into my fully charged vehicle and got the 12v battery failure message!!!

the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat........

I guess you don't need to see a photo of the loaner im driving now while my brand new car is back at the service center.

Talk about a bummer

Uh oh! Please don't tell me that already! Let us know what they say, and respond to my poll about how many times you take in your new car (give it a few weeks, as you may have more visits).

Sorry the issues are starting--not fun :crying:

What is up with the QC on new cars lately????

Bummer, but look on the bright side--you're still driving a Tesla!

That is most unfortunate. I had thought that problem was limited to early Signature runs and was completely fixed when Tesla sourced the 12V battery from another vendor.

 

[JRP3]

That was their claim but apparently not accurate. Can't believe they are still having this issue with current new cars. Come on Elon, get this sorted out!

Noooooooo! Oh man, that stinks. In shocked, I hasn't seen much about that issue here in a while so I hoped it was behind them. So sorry, at least it should be a quick fix, I hope!

I must be the luckiest girl in the world, dare I say I haven't had any issues, except a sticky charge port door? Once they get the battery replaced I'm sure you'll have smooth sailing.

thanks. Supposed to get my car back tomorrow. At least U-2 and I got to spend a little time going over the Gandy bridge last night (delivery was finished too late to get to the Sunshine Skyway) luckily, I was at the front of all the traffic when the light changed. ,thank goodness there were no LEF guys on the bridge, as it would have been a pricey ticket. Not sure if my P85 will hit 130, but I'm pretty sure it will hit 125 before the top of the span (theoretically, of course).

Of course, like I'm fairly confident mine will do at least 115-120 on US19. In theory.

I would've gone with the Howard Frankland myself... Depending on time of day...

Congratulations. Do you mind sharing your VIN number? You may be one of the last VIN deliveries in Q3. Thanks

 

[LASpark]

Sure, it's 21576. How long does it take to finish the car once they start production?

Thanks for the VIN. Great question about 'in production'. There is no standard time. There are people who report they get the in production message one day and the DS calls in 1-2 days and says the car is being loaded/shipped. My personal situation: In production to delivery (I am on East Coast) was about 3 weeks.

 

[Argelius]

I'm 21870.
Order finalized on 9/1/13. I was told yesterday by the DS that the car "is in queue to go into production."
Appointment to take delivery was made yesterday for 10/21/13.

Once they set that initial appointment, does that day end up being a pretty accurate?

 

[texex91]

Once started production, it took about 6 days (with weekend included). Mileage will vary by model :biggrin:

 

[Cheerose]

~ 6 days Production for me as well. From confirming the order to accepting delivery, it will be 25 days for me.

Got the MVPA and Payment emails this afternoon -- done... and done Go Clock Go!

 

[LASpark]

6 days from now puts me on September 25, a full 5 days before the scheduled delivery. LA is not that far from the factory, so now I am hoping it might be early!

There's a day or two of hokey biz and loading car, etc. But yes, should still be early--get ready!
