Have you e-mailed your Tesla contact person to let them know? I think they should send out weekly updates via e-mail to Roadster people waiting for their car, even if it's just a "your Roadster is still on track for delivery around the third week of December"...etc

Day 86 - Roadster held hostage.
My Roadster has a GPS in it, right? And the battery is powered up, right? So why can't TM set it up so that I can follow my car's progress cross country?
TM is a technology company... they need to think about these things. :tongue:

Picking up #1098 on 11/2. It was a Tesla Spec order that was in the process of being assembled when I toured the shop and did my test drive. I decided I couldn't wait 3 months

Day 88 - Roadster held hostage.
The sun has set on another day without delivery.
I have a half tank of gas in my car. TM: Don't make me buy more gas!

Seriously?! That one is sequentially 20 vehicles after mine. Cinergi's vehicle 1 before mine was delivered to Boston 2 weeks ago. This is just brutally painful. I already have a buyer lined up for my current vehicle... I need to unload it soon.

I dropped into Menlo Park briefly on Thursday, since my hotel was nearby. Figured it would be a lot safer than last year's visit, financially...
It was mentioned that a VIN in the 1170 range (don't remember the exact number) had been issued to a car in production recently.
Also met the new Toronto service manager, who coincidentally was there for training.

Ugh. Sorry to hear about that - just joined so having to catch up on your saga. I can barely wait a week - I would break out into spasms if I had to order one.
I'm sure it helps that they don't have to ship the car once they're finished assembling it (since I'm local to them) but I can't believe they can't tell you where your car is. When my wife and I were looking at other Tesla Spec cars the salesperson could tell us whether it was in England or the US and in what stage of building it was in. I was looking at salesforce.com right over her shoulder that had all the status codes.
I probably shouldn't tell you this but when I was waiting for my Corvette to be delivered someone posted on the Corvette Forum that an entire semi-truck full of Corvettes caught fire and destroyed all of them. Luckily mine wasn't on that truck but several people had to start their waiting all over again.

Ok, 1078 is home safely. The truck driver was nice and very professional. It arrived with around 110 ideal miles.
I took it for a little spin. I'm wondering that TM might charge it in storage mode? Would that affect performance right off the truck? I think for the first few days, I'll have to charge it in performance mode, because everyone wants rides.
Best of all... I plugged the car in to the NEMA 14-50 I wired myself... it worked. I was afraid that I was going to have to do 120V charging until I could get an electrician out to fix my handiwork.
I apologize for butting-in all over this forum... It seems while I was waiting, I practically lived on this website. I will now go back to my regular life and only contribute when I actually have something to contribute. Thank you everyone for your patience with me.

Congrats !
Not sure if you can drive it in storage mode, but if you can, yes it might think it's in kind of like Range Mode, which cuts power to 50%. No need for performance mode; average Joes won't be able to tell the difference, but yes, make sure it's at least in Standard Mode when you drive.
Congratulations!
My car came nearly fully charged. (Ideal) Mileage may vary.
To be honest, it's hard to tell the difference between Standard and Performance mode without a stopwatch. I can only tell the difference after driving it for a while; mainly, if I try to accelerate to a certain speed I will alway overshoot it in Performance mode.
And there's no reason to apologize about participating... I'm also a new owner and no one has complained yet. :tongue:
