PS. Doubling every week is likely not sustainable. Running over a month or two at a given rate seems more realistic to me.
Payment is on day of delivery, at least for me. And they take a personal check, so a couple extra days to clear. But it will be close enough to 500 for me.
Got my call today.
Sig 1058, delivery Oct 14-28, at the factory.
I've been wondering if it might have to do with how the car is being delivered, or some other factor as well. The reports I've read of folks paying when they receive the car seemed to be picking it up in person, so that might be the difference. The only reason it matters is that Tesla is likely to be delivering ~200-300 cars in the first half of October, so accepting payment 2 weeks early would give them revenue from ~500 cars in Q3. If they aren't doing that they will only be able to report ~200-250 deliveries instead of ~450-550 "sales".
Lets hope we sell more than the 13k total volts out there!
Automoblog is reporting 400 built so far
Tesla Model S Production Ramping Up; 400 Built So Far
Based on that info, it looks like Tesla will have 500 built by the end of September. 500 delivered though? Not quite. So my guess is they'll come close to their goal, but just barely miss it due to customer delivery delays.

Tesla Model S Production Ramping Up; 400 Built So Far
I would say with the Betas, RC's, and engineering cars added to Founders/Sigs, that sounds about right. If built refers to fully assembled vehicles, and not just frames.
I actually think Autoblog is just going off of Elon's tweet ...
.....or me finding a huge error in my math (which is likely!).
I'm not gonna question your math, just worth remembering that we only know about the forum members (TM & TMC) who report numbers. There's thousands of people out there who don't frequent the forums or post their information.
In its filing, Tesla said it has increased Model S production at a slower rate than previously expected, partially as a result of delivery delays involving some of its key suppliers. The company said it expects to deliver between 200 and 225 Model S vehicles during the third quarter and another 2,500 to 3,000 during the fourth quarter.
