- CPO Delivery Model S Ordering Production
Let me know how that supercharging issue goes, that is my biggest fear with the CPO I ordered. The CPO SA said it will be, but it wasn't listed in my build. One would think that would be easy for them to check, but I don't know.Original estimate 6 weeks
Delivered after 5 weeks and 3 days
Need to return to the SC because free supercharging is not enabled and light in passenger rear door is not working
Besides that car is in great condition. Some pics below
Congrats on the speedy delivery!
Yes, yes it does!
Okay, I just looked and it does look like they added to their inventory recently. I just looked a few days ago and only 2 or 3 cars appeared for my search, now easily a couple of dozens are showing. The only one I'm having car envy over is the 2012 P85, it's only $600 more than my standard 85 with only about 3,000 more miles, but it's a 2012, my auto loan will only allow for 2013 & newer.

If that P85 was the one for $ 35K, I saw that as well ... but it's gone. I almost jumped on it... and then worry about applying the first deposit over later.
I am currently renting -- so having to go back to the beginning would be a bit painful. However, if I am able to get another vehicle a bit quicker than my current order (and a 'better' one), then the pain would be lessened.
Absolutely not! The P85 I saw was for $46,200, If I saw one for 35K I think I would have had to jump on it and figure out the financing laterIf that P85 was the one for $ 35K, I saw that as well ... but it's gone. I almost jumped on it... and then worry about applying the first deposit over later.

My searches were in the East and Midwest.It's in New York (probably why I didn't jump on it; don't want to pay the additional transportation fee if I can help it)
Since it's a 2012 with no pano roof; can it still get XM since it has the Sound Studio package?
Good question, I think it cannot, but don't quote me on that.
I emailed my CPO SA to see first, how is my CPO doing in the process since I didn't hear from him last week, and second to see if there is anything else not listed on EV-CPO in that price range that I might be interested in. I may have to send a text to get a quick update since these sell so darn fast sometimes. But I am just antsy, I know I'll be happy with the car I have coming, and it's a great price.
Brent is my SA, he has been good, up to last week anyway. I sent a text too, saying I sent an email, and I'm probably just antsy... I haven't heard from the DS at all, just the automated emails from them.
That P85 is nice looking, I like the pearl white with black interior, always have. If he gets back to me and says I could switch, I think I will. I'm not going to jump on it and deal with the repercussions later though, if it's gone, I'll live. As someone else said before, I should stop looking now that I made my decision.
And I got a response from Brent already. He said my car is on pace to be ready the middle of August (like 2 weeks) and that if I were to switch, I forfeit the deposit. He also said that the majority of the new cars out there have something missing, like no pano, no tech package, or things like that. He thinks my deal is good, but said it's up to me. I'm a little torn, that P85 looks nice, the only thing it is missing for me is the pano roof. If it takes 6 weeks, that would put it in the middle of September, so I'm losing basically a month and $1000.
Per the list of options on the EV-CPO site, that P85 does have satellite -- so that's a plus.
I'm still waiting for a response ... but if the only option was to start again and forfeit the original deposit; I'll stick with my 60 CPO. I am just not financially able to lose $ 1K right now... and renting cars sucks
Continued good luck with your CPO order ; I am at 3 1/2 weeks and hoping that I am at the halfway mark. If not, then I might have a financing issue... but I'll cross that bridge if/when needed.

Yeah, including forfeiting my deposit, it would add about $5k on top of my CPO. Still a good deal, but probably not worth it right now. The 60 I have coming has everything I wanted. I'll just use that savings to buy winter tires and any other accessories that I need. I just sent him a message that I'll stick with it.Per the list of options on the EV-CPO site, that P85 does have satellite -- so that's a plus.

Good luck on yours as well!
I think it is still getting work done. That 2 weeks is if I go to Denver to get it. If not, it'll probably be an extra week or two to get here. In fact, he just asked if I am planning to pick up there or if we should get working on shipping it here. I had wanted to go there, but now my schedule is so full that I may have to have it shipped. Ugh.WOW! Is it ready for delivery to you ... or does it still need work done?
Delivery in 2 weeks is awesome (and very envious to a lot of people)
Alright, sending a message to Brent about the availability of the new CPOs has got me some good information. He said my car will be done in the next week to 10 days, I said I can't make the trip to Denver for at least 3 weeks, so he said he'd get it set up for shipping to my local SC.
Glad I sent a message, finding out it will be done in a week to 10 days is awesome!
