P3D with Performance Upgrade and Black Interior status

[N54TT]

Optimistically, since that’s actually an improvement for you, maybe “by Oct” really implies they are going to try to cram all of our P3D deliveries in before end of Q3. Wishful thinking maybe.

I’ll take what ever glimmer of hope I can get!!

Weird that everyone's dates got moved to "Oct" from Aug-Oct / Sep-Nov / Oct-Dec.

Yup, Checked mine earlier today was “Oct ‘18-Dec ‘18.” Changed to “by Oct.”.
P3D+, OBM, Black interior, EAP.

Tommy, I assume we will be very close in delivery. Let’s stay in touch, lol.

By October means they are going to push all deliveries by Q3 ends. On the bright side that means we will all get our cars within ~1 month.

Seeing the same for my account. I just hope mine isn't built in the last week of Q3

Just checked my account and the date range of delivery that use to say Aug 18th - Oct 18th now just says delivery by Oct 2018. So I guess that’s an update...

Me three, and much of October will not be good delivery days for me.

[...] I just got a call from my IDA to inform me that my car is ready for delivery. Specs are MSM P3D+/EAP/FSD/black interior. Current Model S owner, no reservation, placed order on 8/6/18, picking up from Fremont on 8/27/18.

Congrats and well wishes to @duc748, but this is slightly irritating. One-offs happen, but as a 3/31&6/26, it will be... irritating... if lots of non-res get their cars earlier for no evident reason.

Let's hope that there is a positive for the wait. Back in 2016 when I was waiting for my MS there was a couple month delay and it turned out that they updated design. I would much rather wait a bit and have a better product than get it early and miss-out on something all-together.

Well, I can at least hope there is a good reason for the waiting

Wow! July 29, 2013!

Now that you’ve decloaked, allow me to be the first to (belatedly) welcome you to TMC!

P.S. Hope you’ll be able to regain some control after your recent posting torrent.

Thanks, Pollux. I'll try to keep things under some sort of control.

Q3 ends in Sept. Oct deliveries will be in Tesla's Q4. I don't interpret "by October" to mean "before October". I think "by October" means "before November"

Since they moved me up to “by Oct” from Oct-Dec, I probably should have just added FSD. I’ve been holding off until a VIN so it wouldn’t delay my build. I’m not sure what the best course is on this now if they speed things up for the Ps.

Revenue is not counted until car is delivered. Oct is Q4, so I'm not sure what Tesla's plan is.

I guess your concern would be whether changing it would push you down in the que. I wonder if people who order today... still get put in this “by October “ category.

If they said before oct, would be clearer that they’re trying to make the revenue for Q3. But then again if they said “before” and dont deliver until after oct1st, they’ll have a lot of unhappy people. Who really knows.

My guess is that they are doing this so that people interested in the P3D who have not placed an order yet still have hope of being able to get their car this year.

If they didn’t make this change, people ordering next month will see Nov-Jan estimates.

Maybe but your avg person who isn’t on the boards...doesn’t know this. The website still says ~2-4month delivery for all models.

Agreed. Are all of the only Oct. changes happening just to folks that had reservations, or does it include folks that ordered after June 26?

 

[SarahsDad]

Update: Car to be delivered to CLT on Sept 10, scheduled pickup Sep 14.

P3D+ MSM/Black interior all boxes checked
Prior Owner
Reserved 3/31/16 online
Ordered 6/26/18
VIN 630XX

No talk of this Oct only thing happening over at AWD Thread. Must be for Performance only?

I reserved AND ordered after June 26th.

Maybe. Margins are higher for P. But volume wise it's low. Maybe Non-P AWD is now the focus...
