More details please. What did you order? When did your order confirm? Also if you put these things in your signature then people won't bug you over and over again

Right, and where delivery is. I just talked to a guy who's father ordered for Europe delivery over a year ago, no communications or progress, ouch.

Well there is some progress in Europe. I got my VIN assigned today for a production 90D.
Founders en SIG versions are in transit to Tilburg NL for assembly.

Good news for you. I heard about the re-assembly done there so that it becomes a Euro made car, is that right?

 

[EV-lutioin]

Thank you so much. I never thought about the seat configuration having and effect.
I ordered:
5 seat
Upgraded Sound
Auto Pilot
White Fo Leather

When I designed my MX, I recall the design page on the Tesla website noting that the 5 seat configuration would take longer to deliver than the 6/7 configurations.

Well it reduces the import tax, and transportation is a bit easier. At the Tilburg factory the ad the drive train to the body. Some final inspection that's all.

It seems less profitable 75's are being held back. The website claim for july delivery is most likely only wishful thinking. Kinda like this X diet will lose X pounds by july so "buy it now!"

I ordered a 75D on 5/5/2016 received a VIN on 5/25/2016, scheduled for delivery in July - confirmed by DS.

Oder is a 75D in midnight silver, 6 seater,, upgraded to premium package, autopilot, smart air suspension. The DS called me at the end of April and said if I upgraded to smart air suspension I could take delivery in July, if not my 75D wouldn't be available until September at the earliest.

Sorry, actually ordered on 3/5/2015 - not 5/5

That is still a quick production time for a 75D. Great to hear that. It would be hard to beat that time no matter what the configuration.

yippie VIN assigned 93XX

Ordered a Model X P90D (6 seats, no trade in) on 5/31/16.

Been assigned a delivery specialist whose communication has been pretty lacking.

Just curious how responsive they usually are.

Until you get closer to production you may not see much. Don't depend on MyTesla. They are not updating it very frequently. Your DS is a better source of info and likely is very swamped with June deliveries. I would recommend reaching out by email to introduce yourself. The first sign of movement will be when you get a VIN assigned. Then it is in production queue. That means it is in a queue to start production - not that it is in production. When it starts production you should get updates from your DS. Some folks get more detailed updates than others... so don't let lack of detail production info lead you to believe that nothing is happening.(but it is frustrating). After it is done production you have the wait for delivery. Since you (and I) are not in CA - it will take a bit to get the car to your delivery center. It could go by rail or truck - it depends. They are pushing to get completed vehicles to customers to make June delivery estimates so current delivery speeds seem much quicker than prior. I don't know if this production to delivery speed will continue past the end of June - one can only hope.

Good luck and welcome to TMC forums. You made a great decision to purchase a Tesla...Don't let some of the posters freak you out.. there have been some problems with earlier production vehicles and frankly there are still a few problems. But nothing that isn't worth working with the SC about. Reports from the more recent vehicles delivered are that the quality is much better and Tesla has worked thru many of the early problems. There are also some trolls and disrupters on the forums as you would find anywhere. You will find that most posters are genuine and make every attempt to be honest and candid about the experience.

Got word from store in Eindhoven, Netherlands yesterday that mine will go in production June 27th
vin 93XX reserved nov 4th, config march, vin may 31

 

[Art747]

I have a feeling that cars with the premium package and 6/7 seats get their VIN earlier than other cars. Even a 75D got a VIN ordered in May....

 

[Bishop]

I got my vin a few days after I ordered but I was still told August..

Thanks! Well, interestingly enough... After 2 weeks of not hearing anything I called yesterday and spoke with someone who said they would let my DS know that I was still waiting to hear back...

And lo-and-behold today I get a VIN number!

BTW, I have an apartment in San Francisco, and I'm soooooo tempted to just take delivery there and drive it to Birmingham!

you may want to check out taxes - CA is very high and it varies from state to state how that works when you register it in your state.. may wind up paying 2x taxes.
