Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[seanahan]

5198x originally Sep 12 @ 3PM from 1+ months and now late Sep .
I have somebody picking my old car, insurance, cash and all planned but ..........

Talk to your DS as soon as possible. Rumor has it they may be able to help you out in such situations. Insurance is ok to wait, and I assume the cash is ok for two weeks, albeit annoying for you. If they can get you a rental car or loaner or something, that would greatly help you. Make sure to phrase it as "I've already committed to selling my car, and now I'm going to be without a car for a week and I'll have to rent one".

Mine got move from Late Oct to Late Nov. Confirmed 8/7. P85+

Same sad story as a lot of other folks here. Confirmed order 8/2 and my delivery date moved out this morning from "Late October" to "Late November"...

Looks like you got room in there for two cars, is the other spot going to also be Tesla occupied at some point in the future?

Since this is our first foray into the EV world, we're keeping the old ICEmobile going. But who knows. If things work out well with the MS, a Model 3 may be somewhere in the future....

I have to admit I'm a bit sad. This is exactly what my DS emailed me a couple weeks back.

Hello Frank!

Sorry for the delay, both of your recent emails were sent to the other Nick at Tesla—yes, there are two of us here! For future reference, my email is @teslamotors.com.

Currently, we don’t yet have a delivery date for your Model S, but you can expect to see one in about a month. Just for your information, we are expecting your Model S to enter production during the week of October 13[SUP]th[/SUP], and delivery will be in late October.

Your wall connector will ship about 5 weeks prior to delivery, via FedEx to your home.

Thank you!​

Originally planned for the week of Oct 13th. What an unlucky number! haha

My original delivery was early November, then late October, now December. Confirm date was Aug. 13, 2014

With delivery dates all over the map. I have yet to really see anyone drop below about 2.5 to 3 months. So whatever dates you have, that might be closer to what you should start expecting. I am sorry to see dates going all over the map here... seems like they are having trouble sorting out who needs to be targeted for what dates ever since the restart and this is really causing some disappointment. They really need to work on setting appropriate expectations it seems, because if people knew going in that it was going to be X timeframe then it isn't as big of a deal.

I understand the frustration of having the delays and I hope you all get your cars quickly! Wish there was something I could do to help.

P85 51991 Confirmed 7/7 went into production last night
Still show "Late September" as delivery on the website. Haven't heard from the DS yet, but his last estimate of 9/25-9/30 still looks right based on production time and shipping to STL.

The problem is we ALL have December -.- Regardless if you ordered on 8/1 or 9/1

I ordered 8/2, confirmed 8/3, went from November to December to Late October....sat there for quite some time....then flipped to Late November. And I was SO proud of myself for having bravely made it 5 weeks of waiting...almost half the time until Late October....and now I've now got (perhaps) another 10 weeks. Wah.

Thank you chick for the compassion...believe it or not it helps even though it's not from Tesla.

I'm still sitting with a 45 day confirmation (8/10) to delivery (9/24) time frame if things don't change. Not holding my breath too much since the car hasn't started production but it's still possible for them to hit since delivery is in Seattle.

My status just changed to Production Complete - your Model S is being prepared for Pickup or Delivery.

Looks like I am still on Schedule for delivery Sept 18th (next week!) in CT.

Ordered June 6th - there has been no change to scheduled delivery at any point

 

[tantantheman]

Same here---- Our Model S is now under "Production Complete".

Scheduled delivery is in NJ but is on the 25th..... maybe they have different timed trucks going to different areas?

I have no idea when the car is ready for pickup, current status is late sep.
Original Deliver date: Sep 12
Current Status: Your Model S has entered the production queue at our Factory
Pickup location: Fremont factory

My dashboard still shows "Sep 15" as the date, but if I click on edit, it says "Late September" and "We will contact to schedule your exact delivery date and time", so there is clearly a mix up with their database. Since it hasn't gone to build yet, it's definitely not the Sep 15 date.

Moral of the story: Don't necessary trust your delivery date on your dashboard.

Emailed today. VIN 53XXX went to paint. Delivery was scheduled for 9/25. Was told by DS couple days, then 5-7 days for delivery. May arrive early.

That's definitely the case. I'm getting much closer to delivery, out of production and being prepped for delivery/shipping, most likely get it on the 19th, but my dashboard still says date is tomorrow the 12th and "We will contact to schedule..." just like Sean.

 

[DiversifiedOne]

Dashboard just changed from "Late September" to September 30 @ 1pm, which was my original tentative pickup time. Not sure if that is indicative of anything concrete, since it still shows in the production queue. Haven't received any notice yet from the DS.

I thought clicking on "Edit" assumes you are looking to change the pickup SC. If that's the case, they would need to coordinate a new specific date & time. So, showing "Late September" would make sense there.

It's also used to schedule the time of pickup. They do still need to coordinate a new specific date and time, since the original was not doable. Previously, there was actually some kind of calendar that could be used to schedule, but I don't seem to have that anymore.

Well it's Friday, not in production yet. Week and a half to my delivery appointment. Starting to doubt they're going to hit this time frame. Don't have the guts to call the DS to ask, since they might tell me "Nope not going to hit it and then move the date." I'd expect that moving the date decreases the likelihood that I'll go into production soon.

Side note: Is it just me or is Tesla really bad about replying to emails? When my date first got moved up from Late October to Late September, I sent an email and waited 5 days for him to reply before giving up and just calling. This despite the fact that his original email to me suggested that he preferred emails because he might be with a customer. Then I had an issue with my Wall Connector (came with Chinese manual and it wasn't clear I got the right thing) and the Charging guy didn't reply after 2 days before I finally called yesterday (he said he'd look into it and he replied via email today, turns out I got the right equipment, just the wrong manual). Given Tesla's reputation for Customer Service this rather surprised me.

Yea...feel the same way.....I have to wait almost 3+ days to get a response and I only get a response when I do a followup email. I'm suppose to get delivery end of month and haven't heard anything from my DS. No followup on financials either....
