P3D with Performance Upgrade and Black Interior status

[rdlink]

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

I have an AWD order, and my (locked) page still says Sept-Nov

 

[DJ-3]

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

That’s interesting as I’m in North Florida, same reservation date, similar build date(7-10-2018) exact same build and I’ve not heard a peep. Just a lot of “We are not really sure sir”

 

[rluciano]

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

I know what you say is true in normal states. But I wonder about us in Texas. Once we have paid in full, the car is legally ours even though it may be in California still. So maybe Texas cars paid for in September are sales in the third quarter. I'm not an accountant, but this at least seems like a possibility to me.

Mine now says "Estimated delivery by Oct.'18" too... :-(

P3D+ midnight silver black interior. every option checked. San Diego

Full deposit paid on June 26'th 5pm (8 weeks, 3 days and counting) Reservation 4/1/2016 5am. So far not a peep from Tesla since I paid my deposit except to say unlimited supercharging was added to my account.... but nothing about my car.

I think we are a special case though. Most people pay at the time of delivery.

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

Sounds like we might. But I’ll be a TX delivery, so I’m sure you’ll be driving around a few weeks sooner!

 

[rrollens]

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

Not as concerned anymore with "burst weeks" since they are already producing 6000+ cars a week, beating there set goal already for the end of August.

 

[NathanielHrnblwr]

Mine changed too. I think this is just a administrative adjustment as they can now narrow the window a bit. The larger window displayed previously allowed them to set expectations a bit further out when they likely had more unknowns in their production rates.

I got update to Oct 2018 from October to December... Order details in my signature

When you collect money for something you have not yet delivered (in accrual accounting which is the standard for all publicly trade companies), you have to record a liability for the undelivered goods. Tesla is operating on an accrual basis, not a cash accounting basis. The net is that collecting your payment before they deliver you the car does not help their position on wall street.

 

[evpulse]

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?

Happened for me. Reserved and stupidly cancelled . Non owner. Configured on Aug 1st.

But with Texas sales they have no liability. The sale is completed and “delivered” in California. The sale is complete and the risk of loss has passed to the purchaser. At least that was the case with my Model S. I was told that the carrier had insurance on the vehicle but it was mine.

[Boomer19]

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...

yeah that’s BS
communication ineffectiveness/inefficiency. no information to begin with, is better than constantly changing the info and driving everyone batsh!t

Haha, talk about an outlier to the pattern we've all been looking for! I'm picking mine up at the same place (I confirmed the delivery location a while ago over the phone, after the "prepare for your model 3" email), but still no VIN, no email, no call

 

[invalid]

Damn. I was placing my order for P3D+ with black interior today, but now having second thoughts on the color... :/ originally was MSM, then was thinking OBM, now thinking Pearl White.

 

[CrazyCoconut]

Called again, still no VIN
