Model S Order & Delivery Tracker

[breser]

Spreadsheet has been updated to allow for 70, 90, 90D, and P90D configurations. I haven't determined how to deal with Ludicrous option yet on the P95D so if you order one just put something about it in the comments and I'll adjust when that happens. Once I figure out how I'm dealing with this I'll make the Q4 2015 sheet.

Maybe a model choice of P90L for the up-optioned P90D + Ludacrous?

I thought about that but Tesla has a tendency of rearranging options like this. So I'm sitting back and waiting to see what they do somewhat. Since they have been known to make significant changes just a few days after they've changed things before.

Right, they may offer an "Usher" option for S85D owners and maybe a "50-cent" option for 70D owners.

Actually I was more expecting them to make Ludicrous speed available on P85D's. They've flat out said they can do. Some people obviously won't care about the extra range. If there isn't already there probably is a thread of outraged people about the extra $3k being tied to this.

I've been waiting on an 85d to roll out of production. It started on July 13th, so we're at 11 days now which seems like it's a bit long given that the car was marked "hot" at the beginning of production. I was speaking with the delivery specialist and he mentioned that they just started doing a more exhaustive quality control process at the factory, not that they were seeing a lot of issues, but that they had just implemented some new protocols. Sounded like this new process extends the amount of time a car spends in the post-assembly inspection stage. Thought it was interesting and it'll be interesting to see if production times extend as a whole because of this. Judging from the spreadsheet, I see several orders that went in to production later than mine and have been done for a few days, but I'm sure there are a few factors that can influence that.

Wolfie, one buyer in California had their car in production from 6/22 to 7/22. Lately, the spreadsheet shows most times are 5-7 days lately. I do see a recent one 7/21-7/24 so that is 3 (destined for Denmark).

My Car went into production on 7/15 (on or about). The web site flipped on 7/13 but the email from Tesla and my delivery specialized arrived on 7/15 and 7/16. So who knows.

My car is still in production. On 7/22 my delivery specialist told me the car was in the middle stages. On Thursday 7/23 in the evening he told me it was in the final stages of production (post assembly inspection stage) and that he expects it to ship out on Monday 7/27. So that would put me at about 12-14 days "in production". Longer than most cars in the spreadsheet.

Also when I ordered my car on 7/4 the delivery estimate was August (mid). It changed to Late July after I ordered and stayed that way till 7/22 when it changed back to August.

I ordered my 85D on 6/30, Production started 7/15 and was complete 7/21 advising the car was "in Transit". Original Delivery Estimate (East Coast) was "Late August" - as of this morning it is now "September". 6 Weeks to ship a car to the East Coast?

I doubt it, that's telling me that it's held up at the Factory for some reason so I am hopinh it is better quality control and not because there's a problem with it. Unfortunately, a gentlemen who ordered a 70D on the same day and same delivery lcoation is getting same messages...and our DS is on vacation and out of the country until 7/31 so living in the dark a bit.

Well lo and behold. Mine just shipped.

Fingers crossed on this end! Mine also flipped on the 13th, but didn't receive the email until the 15th or 16th. Just checked and it's still in production, day 13.

Have you asked your delivery specialist what the status is?

Have you asked your delivery specialist what the status is?

Yeah, he mentioned that as far as he could tell it should roll off soon but said that they don't have much visibility on where a car is at. We're under a bit of a timeline as we're moving halfway across the country mid-August and we had plenty of assurances and 99.9% certainties that we'd take delivery before late July. Even when we ordered in late June, we were looking at fleet vehicles because we knew the timeline was tight. The sales person said that they were almost certain they could get us an end of line production slot of July 13th, which seemed like it would give us plenty of breathing room. Once the order was confirmed, the delivery specialist said that the sales person was very misinformed, as July 13th would've been the earliest it would enter production.

We're planning on using the vehicle to transport ourselves, our kids, our dog, and some essentials on the three day drive. Worst case scenario, we rent something one way...not thrilled about the cost of that n'or the cost of either needing to fly black to get the car, pay to deliver it to a new state, or have to switch the delivery to other state instead (sales tax). There's still a good chance that it'll all work out, but the window is closing for sure.

I know things happen, just feels like a few people at Tesla might need to lower their "99.9% certainty" threshold, especially going by some of the delays others have seen. Maybe this has come up before, but with their super high-tech factory, shouldn't a delivery specialist be able to speak to someone on the other end to find out exactly where a car is in production along with a very accurate eta?

If it makes you feel any better, I ordered my 85D on 7/3, and my delivery estimate changed the other day from late August to September as well. I'm on the east coast as well (NJ). Emailed my DS to see if he has any info - waiting to hear back.

Ha, it doesn't make me feel better, makes me feel like my chances just got worse! I'm hoping if it finishes production within the next day or two, they'll have no problem getting it one state over (in Oregon for a couple of more weeks) in time.

Just realized you were responding to GOPJEW. Net result is the same, still makes me feel worse!

 

[Bifff67]

Just put in my order yesterday, it will activate on Aug 1. P90D Isn't there a 2 week shutdown sometime? August?

Wolfie & Emmlex - I think for us all, the lack of communication is the frustrating part. When I custom ordered my wife's Audi, although Audi doesn't "track" your specific vehicle, I got regular updates from a human who was always available to answer my questions - proactively!

The constant refreshing of the MyTesla page is overrated...

When I custom ordered my wife's Audi, I was able to track the ship it was on across the Atlantic, into port in Rhode Island (IIRC) down the coast line, up the Deleware, cross the canal into Baltimore Harbor.

78Lion - Xander just emailed me to advise that the September message was a mistake. I assume yours is similar...

"It is currently expected to arrive in Chicago to change lines on the 29[SUP]th[/SUP] of July. From there it will go to New Jersey and then Rockville via truck for the final leg. Our system is showing an ETA to New Jersey of the 5[SUP]th[/SUP] of August. From there we can expect an additional three to four days to get to Rockville and then about 72 hours of final preparation once we have the car. Right now August 11[SUP]th[/SUP] through 16[SUP]th[/SUP] is a reasonable estimate for your delivery."

Exactly. You would think that there would be inherently better communication with their business model given that we're not going through dealerships for these purchases. Everyone we deal with is an employee of Tesla and are directly connected to the company.
