We can see Sig#'s 74, 78, 85, and 91 in this photo. They appear to sitting with the battery load, and the wheel dressing suggests they've been detailed.

91 + 27 = 118... That is a great number!
I wonder how far they are from having all those actually delivered?

Yes, I have been expecting them to hit the 100 car number any day now for the last several days. I hope they hit it soon, and issue a press release when they do.

We are almost at the end of production on the Tesla Roadster Signature 100 series. I believe that also ends the owners that were required to put the full $100,000.00 down ahead of time -sold in the first 3 months back in July of 2006. (Or was it the first 3 weeks?) How many sold that first night in Santa Monica?
Then they will pick up the regular* and Patient buyers. 50 and $30K respectively.
I wonder how many Sig 100's had the exclusive green paint. Or had custom paint for that matter.
Congrats!
* was it called "regular"?

Laruant,
Actually there were 27 Founders Series. This is #81 of the Signature 100 series but the 100th car to be delivered. So there are more of the Signature 100s left to go but then I guess they begin again at #1 with regular prodction series cars. Does that make the waters muddier
So there are 8 cars before #81 that have not been delivered yet .... and 28 left to deliver before we start over at #1 again.

Production Status -- #135
I walked around the service area with Zak and the highest VIN we found was #135. At this point all the gliders are still being flown in from the UK. It wasn't exactly clear when they'll start coming by boat, but that it would be "soon." My guess is at current production rates, for some reason or another, it makes more sense for them to continue to come in by plane since that provides a steady stream of gliders.

VIN125, you can see Elon in the back left giving more interviews.

I guess this thread has morphed to include the occasional delivery updates as well as production.

MDR gets his Roadster VIN106
That color is just so damn incredible !!!.
I am flying to San Francisco in January on business. I will be using the opportunity to checkout various interior designs that other owners are selecting for Radiant Red. I just cannot get enough detail from the website to make a decision. I have to see the different styles in person.
My Tesla rep (Ted) said that many of the cars coming through now (after 100) are radiant red. Many different examples are available to see different interior designs.

I cannot recommend this enough. The colors in person are very different than on the web site. Particularly for some colors like the Twilight Blue which looks completely different in the sun vs. the shade. Do not lock in any colors until you have seen them in person if you can help it.

And congratulations MDR! It is great that "real people" (aka people I have actually met, and are not VCs or hollywood types) are actually receiving their cars!
