Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

[Ugliest1]

... After 960 posts as a lurker...

Any bets that you won't hit 1,000 posts, you'll be driving the car instead? (except it will take a while to get here) Congrats to all those who just recently ordered, may your waits be short, your stock long, and your paint unblemished. No need to wish you fun driving; that will be a given.

Nah, I'll hit 1000 by the end of the month. :wink: Can't keep my yap shut for too long.

Around 1250 I may start to drop off a little though...

Yes he does, a P85+ can't be ordered without them.

We picked up our beautiful Model S yesterday, Tuesday February 11th right on time from the factory. They had it wrapped in ribbon in Las Vegas showroom at SC. Hats off to the Las Vegas SC.

Beautiful ride Scottie! That car is going to be a beast on the hot dry roads out in NV!

The time has finally come!! After 960 posts as a lurker, I finally ordered my Model S! And because I've waited long enough, I also clicked confirm!

Is there a Q2 delivery thread out there somewhere? Should I create one? Or are we Q2ers just going to be rolled into this thread?

Thanks!

Yes he does, a P85+ can't be ordered without them.

This was my reasoning as well, so I didn't see the need to include them. I'm lazy like that. :tongue:

Interesting. Lots of later orders with still a end of March delivery. I wonder if they will make the dates and I wonder if there will be any impacts to quality if there trying to push things.

Yeah seems like Jan was almost intentionally lower volume... I really wish they would break down their reports a bit better by month and by location when they release that information!

I was suprised that my build happened in three days but that seems to be the norm now looking at others in my time bracket. I thought one week was more typical but looking at deliveries earlier in January the build times seemed much slower(not sure how the holidays factor in). It's possible that introducing seat improvements had a slow down effect, but on the surface doesn't seem like it would require changes to the production line.

Have the seat improvements been enacted for new builds then? Or is it still just speculation at this point?

still speculation based on Elons comments suggesting they would be in production by now. I've posed the question to my DS but as discussed above he's a busy guy right now and I haven't heard back.

On that subject, I watched the recorded live stream of Elon in Norway and he pretty much confirmed that the seat bottom cushion spring bed adjustments, to increase comfort, has just now been added to production. Other redesign efforts to improve the sport handling aspects of the seat to reduce lateral body movement, are perhaps a year away due to complex changes with seat sensors that affect airbag deployment characteristics. He also stated that this eventual seat redesign could possibly be retrofitted to existing vehicles (unspoken, but not gratis). And he also agreed with a questioner who jokingly asked if he could replace the Model S seats with BMW ones, that the front seats indeed need improvement...

...Of course, if your were also referring to the very same live stream from Norway, then that is my interpretation of what was said.

No Problem.
You mean, the List in the first Post? That`s from MidlifeCrisis.

Supercharging: No

If i see it right, you are the first, without the Superchargeroption.

If i forgot something in the File, please send me a PN

That is correct, I just noticed that this morning. Not a big traveller but I will probably be adding sometime within the year. Supercharger network was much smaller in July when I ordered.

I was! I started a thread on that under Interior. I think most people concur on the interpretation but obviously it would be nice to know for sure if my vehicle that was built this week definitely has this change in it.
