Do you have a source for this--the Q4 shareholder letter indicated they were planning "to invest in equipment to support cell production at the Gigafactory" this year.

Darryl,
Guessing Model X deliveries is still tough. Hope you are wrong and it does appear deliveries are picking up this past week.
Regarding the GF, it is not running behind. There have been some articles about employment and spend onsite and using that data to extrapolate the timing of the plant. Most of those articles create negative forward looking estimates based on prior quarter data. Elon and JB have said they are ahead of schedule and at this point expect to produce cells by end of year 2016. Looking at recent pictures, you can see one end of the GF is left open allowing them to drive new equipment straight into the plant, and begin building phase 2 as soon as the phase 1 equipment is installed. A lot of project events can happen between now and the completion of GF phase one, but I'm optimistic they will stay on schedule.
Good luck with your delivery. Hope you get good news this week and love your car.

Still Trying to Figure This All Out
Well it's clear that Tesla is favoring us Californian's to the chagrin of everyone else.:redface:
It looks like this is all about bringing up the 1st quarter delivery numbers. Even to the point they are willing to give up the performance and premium options. So more about delivery numbers versus revenue.

So what's the current guess on delivery date for VIN 1645? I'm hoping to get it in time to travel to the Custer Tesla rally mid-May. And, no, I don't have Onyx wheels, but most everything else with a Factory delivery.
I think it has far more to do with the expiring CA tax incentive than beefing up 1st quarter numbers. They can beef up the numbers simply by making cars. Of course, they can take a temporary short-cut to higher numbers of cars actually delivered if they target orders which they can ship to the delivery destination in a day or two, as opposed to a week or more going across the country.
Also thinking that they're doing an initial run of 90D's so they can get the line ready to go for those configurations. They may want to hold those deliveries close to home for quick turn around on troubleshooting potential issues.

You mean the high-income threshold? Incentive is still there for us <$500K commoners isn't it?
