@wamochi - guess who changes the screen from sourcing to "in production" - it is your DS. Since y'all have already discussed the delivery times, he probably has not changed your dashboard yet. My VIN is 44493 and factoring in that I am 500 cars behind you and the travel time to Tennessee, I think that the 30th for me is probably an accurate date. I am suppose to get my MVPA next week and will discuss then with the DS wiring instructions. The sad news is that I am suppose to be in NYC on the 30th so I may have to take delivery the next day ---- shucks.
Personally, I think that your car is done or really, really close. I do have a question. I like your configuration. What made you opt for the 60 instead of the 85. Since we do not have Superchargers in TN yet, I opted for HPWC, the 85, and the dual chargers.
r u sure? i didn't know that the DS did that. even if that is true, i have been in contact with the DS for a few days this week and he has said that he won't know much until mid next week where we are at and "by then it should be in production" ... doesn't sound too promising!
i feel like everyone on this board that closely follows their status on My Tesla reports seeing "in production" and "production complete", and i haven't seen either yet. so it's hard for me to envision that it's actually done and DS hasn't flipped the switches on My Tesla. in any case, it's not a huge deal if it's late, but my husband does travel a lot for work and won't be around the week after. we are both supposed to be present for signing DMV papers so if the car is late we may have to wait a week to get it when he returns. so other than potential scheduling conflicts, we are fine waiting, but of course the anticipation this close to the finish line is tough!
it's also strange that the June 20th date was set up so dang early on May 9th and hasn't budged since then.
about the 60, keeping it short (not meant for debate!):
- we aren't road trippers, never have been. we fly to vegas and SF. companion status on SWA means i fly free.
- the tesla replaces a hybrid that has never been driven more than 150 miles per day in the 3 years lease; in fact it's never left SD county since i brought it back from OC 3 years ago
- superchargers are great but we are keeping our 7 seater SUV for out of town visitors and it has some creature comforts that make longer trips enjoyable, despite the cost of gas.
- our PV system produces enough to charge an EV for 12000 mi, so our preferred method of charging will always be at home in our garage (NEMA 14-50 installed last year)
- it's not about budget for us, just about expected use. i use the gadgets (pano, parking, lighting, etc) every day whereas the extra range in 85 might get used once a year if i forced myself.
- i'll take the $10,000 saved and buy other things like extended warranty, etc that we ordinarily never use because we usually lease!
we could have gone either way, and in the beginning i was struggling with not changing to 85 or adding the $2000 SC. but i made it to the homestretch :smile: can't wait to see it in person soon! will keep you posted!
