Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014
- Thread starter MidlifeCrisis
- Start date
One I saw could be anybody's they would not tell me the customers name I assumed it is yours because everything matched up with what you ordered have you gone down there is it yours?
It was definitely mine. I was in it today at the Powell service centre. They put it on the truck tomorrow morning for Calgary.

Can you not drive it from Vancouver to Calgary? My delivery date is March 26th in Vancouver and I'm driving to Canmore in April. I guess you might need winter tires. I believe the route is doable with the SunCountry Highway chargers if you do the drive in two days.

I confirmed my S85 Jan.28th and they were "guaranteeing" delivery by the end of March in Vancouver. There was time pressure because our provincial 5k rebate deadline was scheduled to end March 31st, or when the grants ran out. The program ran out of money Feb.14th. Soon after confirming, my walk through was scheduled for an exact date and time. They are still telling me that it should be on time.

Model S is being prepared for delivery
I like to thank each person involved in the build of my car!

Congratulations I'm happy it all worked out it felt good sitting in your car The seats did feel comfortable do you know if there were changes made to your seats? What was your first impression when you saw it mine was wow
I was told that the seats have the improvements in them though he couldn't say exactly what VIN number signified the new seat improvements. He dis suggest that anything in the 30s probably has it. My first impression was also Wow! I didn't really get my head around the fact that it is my car, particularly as I had to leave it there :crying: My brother was pretty impressed too. He definitely got that Tesla smile though he claims that I hurt his neck during my drive.

That idea was very tempting but I think for my first drive would have been pretty ambitious. In any case I made arrangements for the winter tires (almost mandatory for that drive right now I think) and the protective wrap, in Calgary. Best to wait until that is done before I undertake any big drives I think. That would have been a wonderful drive though. I hope to drive Calgary to the Okanagan in the summer though I may wait until the west coast Superchargers have been ramped up.

Have you seen the Coquihalla highway lately? The last thing gpetti should do is take his brand new car on it. It was just reopened after a massive avalanche. The road salt and gravel being put down, and thrown at you by the big rigs, is crazy! We have tons of snow here in South Surrey and we usually barely see a sprinkle. The Coquihalla has had the most snow ever seen in the 27 year history of that highway! But I know you mean well and it sure would be a great drive in the summer. It will be part of the Supercharger highway, as early as this year according to the map, but I won't be surprised if it's not until 2015.

Model S P85+ "Lola"
Got my VIN today!
#35668
This is proving to be the most frustrating/time-consuming part of the whole Tesla experience. They come out to have a look, leave to do up an estimate, then are never heard from again! I wanted this stuff done last summer but the first company I looked into left me hanging for six months! Looks like the second company is going to do the same thing (was supposed to e-mail me an estimate 2 days ago). :cursing: You'd think they were allergic to money or something!

Canuck, you're right. It was overly ambitious to consider that drive at this time. I'm hoping early April will be possible, but that will have to be a last minute decision. I'll have to be more careful with the sand/salt/rocks with my Model S than my current 1998 Nissan Altima 
Congrats on the VIN number - 35,000 plus now - only seems like yesterday we were in the 30,000 range, though it does seem they allocate blocks at a time. I'm doing basement renovations so my electrician is pretty much committed; however, I told him way back that I wanted the wiring for my HPWC done before the 21st (think that was my first predicted date). Doesn't look like it will be done until tomorrow or later; however, it will be about a week before the car gets home now (better not tell the electrician that). Apart from anything else, the longer it takes the more times I change my mind about where to put the charger.

Send an email to the DC and just learned that I need to wait more time to get my car, as delivery as been pushed to at least March 18th ("unplanned shift in production at the factory"). I'm glad for all the guys that ordered after, and will have their S85 at the same time or before me (basically everyone in this forum for delivery in the US), but quite frankly I'm p****d.

I just got an email from Tesla saying my delivery has been pushed back a week from March 3 to March 10. Bummer...
On the bright side, my Tesla stock is going nuts today:

I confirmed 9 days ago, got a VIN 8 days ago, there have been 800 VINs given out since! Looks like demand is still well above supply.
When I did the walk through of my car in Vancouver it had 27 kms on it. By the time it has been shipped the rest of the way and I get final delivery it will probably also have 28 km.

My app has been enabled as technically the car has been delivered now so I can watch it on the last leg of the journey. Right now its still in Vancouver on a 120v charge.
