Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

[Alain13]

I know, but you've got a priority delivery because of your P+. Strange thing is, when I called Tesla, they said production would be complete 1st of April, but the website tells otherwise.

That is strange, when I called them they told me the car went into production and the status was updated that same day around 18:00. The website is a little behind, but not by that much. Maybe give them a call/email again? I'm still stalking them at least once a week! :tongue:

Finalized today. S85, black, tech, sensors, winter. Everything else as standard. Parcel shelf was originally added but is now standard on european vehicles.
July chosen as delivery month. I'll take anything before September as a bonus...

So with Q1 now finished, what is the best estimate for the number of cars delivered globally? 7,000?

I would also estimate 7000. About 40% to Europe.

Went into production March 31. Production complete April 2.

Today I got my VIN from the dealer, 34491. I don't have access to the Tesla Dashboard, so I need to ask my dealer for all status info. They seem to be pretty busy so I don't want to harass them, but based only on the VIN number my car should be in the current batch of cars being produced for EU.

Looks like our cars will become friends over their cross-country journey!

Update for mine: production completed 4/2/2014. Delivery now scheduled for 4/11/2014.
2 days from confirmation to get a VIN, 29 days from VIN to production start, 5 days (including a sat/sun) in production, 9 days in transit.

Just out of curiosity, why don't you have access? I can't decide if that would have been better or worse for me during my wait...

By the way, we've got close VINs!

I bought from a traditional car dealership/importer in Finland, not online from Tesla. So my order is not made online by me, and thus I see nothing on my Tesla Dashboard. I agree with you, this may not actually be a bad thing in that sense. :smile:

Spoke to DS yesterday, moved the delivery date up to April 10th from the 18th. Pretty much exactly 2 months from ordering/confirming. Gotta find things to keep myself busy for the next week. Is it weird to clean my garage 3-4x between now and then?

I have seen this mentioned by a couple others in the past. Is there a reason you had to go through an "importer"? Why can't you order it online like everyone else does? What kind of price markup does the dealer add? Did you have to do negotiation?

Time for a Q2 2014 thread??

I suspect it has to do with the country they're in?

 

[MassX1317]

Production complete!

 

[cataber]

Production complete!

Hooray! Hopefully that means mine will start soon - my delivery is (supposedly) only 3 days after yours, also on the East Coast, and I'm still "sourcing parts"...

Well, I didn't *have* to order via an importer. It's just that since Finland has no official Tesla presence (yet), I would need to order from the "other Europe" location, which means I would need to pick my car up from Tilburg. That's pretty far away, and I have some medical issues that make long distance travelling difficult for me. Since this importer has started selling Tesla Model S in Finland and will actually deliver the car to my door, I decided to go that route.

Looks like the price markup is somewhere around 18.000 EUR. The importer is a traditional car dealership, so negotiation is involved. :smile:

That seems excessive. Are you sure it's all markup? Doesn't it include Finnish VAT? If it doesn't, WOW

Status changed again to "in transit from factory." Contacted by delivery specialist to let me know that I could take delivery early, so will be getting my Model S next Friday, April 11th (a week before the originally scheduled date).

Status has again changed to "Production Complete: Your Model S is being prepared for pickup or delivery." So, wonder whether it'll take 18 days to get it, or if they will ship it out earlier. Looking at the spreadsheet, I don't see anyone on the East Coast that had to wait 2.5 weeks from end of production to delivery.

Well it's very nice you were able to find someone to provide service and make the delivery more straightforward for you. Good luck and keep the thread updated. My 34k VIN is driving very nicely and I'm sure yours will too!
