I ordered an S85 as well with an RN lower than yours. VIN assignment times are a definite mystery.

I'm in the same boat. Confirmed 3/18 (S60, changed to S85) and still no VIN. HOWEVER... *drum roll please* I got a call from my delivery specialist today: Delivery has been scheduled for May 21. Call me a happy camper. :biggrin:

Perhaps. My delivery is scheduled for April 28th, but apparently they're having a bit of trouble finding a courier to bring the car up here to Timbuktu. I may have to go meet it somewhere on the bus (For clarity: My fear, not what Tesla told me).
Hopefully not though.
The delivery to Calgary though not quite Timbuktu did require a special delivery arrangement and added a few days to the delivery time. If you saw my delivery pics you would see it was basically a big pickup truck pulling a trailer. He had an old Oldsmobile in the trailer too that he was delivering to Edmonton after my car. Wouldn't surprise me if you got the same guy. He apparently has been hauling cars for Tesla from Vancouver to miscellaneous locations for some time.

Nice! At least I won't be hopping a bus. :wink:
Do you recall if it was covered transport or an open-air carrier? There are lots of couriers who come up this way that could probably transport a vehicle, but I don't know that I'd trust them to get it here in one piece.

You could have gotten that sweatheart deal, but I think an 85 was the better choice for you. I am so ready for my P85!

I could have sworn I posted a pile of pictures of the delivery but I can't find them now. I even had a video of the car being unloaded. Anyway, here's a couple of pics that show the truck and how my car was loaded. My only complaint was that the old, oldsmobile was stored above my car (probably because mine was being unloaded first) and there were flakes of rust all over the top of my car. Fortunately my wrap place did a good job of carefully cleaning things off prior to starting the wrap.

The irony of being in a protected trailer and having crap rain down from above. Good thing it had no oil leaks :scared:
Hi all, here's the current status for comparison:
Ordered - 3/8/14
VIN - 3/12/14 (374xx)
Confirmed - 3/14/14
Delivery - Late April, to Highland Park, IL
Still sourcing, and still hoping late April will hold true!! P85, with about half of the options... (blue, grey, tech, pano, sub-zero, fog, 21")

Yeah, I remember you mentioning the rusty Olds, but I can't find your original pics, either.
Hopefully, they book a similar outfit to transport my S (minus the rust, though). :biggrin:
Ugh this wait is killing me. I confirmed 2 weeks earlier than you, VIN that's about 100 lower, but my earliest pickup date is still early May (in California). I think it's because I "only" have an S85 with minimal options.

Well my pickup date has changed. Instead of the 25th of April it is now on the 19th of April. Almost a week earlier.
Yay :love:

Thank you for posting. I am soooo hoping my delivery schedule follows your timing! Nice color choices BTW

Blue is my favorite color and I think grey goes with it a lot better. Still wish the 19's came in grey. They would look amazing in the car.
hopefully yours will get to you early too. Can't hurt to pester your DS about it
