Do you really think that they would have the design studio in May and I could finalize by the end of May but not take possession of my Model X until January 2016.

I do mean the Volt as I said. The Bolt is still nothing more than a concept so it hasn't gone through the test process yet.
No, you won't be able to finalize your order until your reservation number is called. Only Signatures would be allowed to at first, then everyone else would be let in over several months based on reservation number. This all assuming it works the same as the Model S.
No. Just a post in the FB group. Others have asked his reservation #. He said he would post it tomorrow.

He's not Sig #1 or #2 ... and I haven't gotten a phone call. If he was a Founder, he'd not be sharing information publicly (and he'd know he was a Founder Series).
My guess? Whoever called him wants to talk him into a Model S.
I'll feed information to here if the thread reveals anything. What was interesting was the "delivery June" comment. :shrug:

How many people have come here all excited because they learned something from their local store/service center? June delivery? Nope.
(And I'd love to be proven wrong. Because I'd like my X. But there's a certain level of reality I need to keep in my life. "June delivery" just throws it all out of whack.)
Apparently he didn't realize Q3 starts in July, not June. It's good for them to be shooting for beginning of quarter though. That way they might actually make end of quarter.The response says he was told delivery early Q3. So the Sept 30 over/under still stands.
Don't know his status, but I think it is this guy from Las Vegas:

Also be aware that someone might be purposely start rumors, to get everyone excited prior to earning release so people make bets and drive stock price up in anticipation... and get hammered afterwards when the rumor turns out falls. I'm not saying this guy did this, but it is a strategy by some bears that has worked in the past.
I don't short the stock, ever. So for me, I always prefer to go into an ER with lowered expectations.

For what it's worth, I think you're all giving far too much importance to this guy's post about his delivery. Think about it. How many people have come onto the forum and announced the delivery of the X would be "soon| start next month | some other date"? Right. He's another one. He didn't even know his reservation number, said he'd post the next day. Anyone here NOT know their reservation number? No? Did he post it? Not yet.
I guarantee that when Tesla calls to talk to me about my reservation, it will not require going into the store first to talk with a delivery specialist. Why would they have done that with him?
I'm sure he has an X on order, not saying that. Just saying that sometimes our need for information causes us to park reality. If he was a Founder Series, he would know better than to jump the gun and announce before Tesla does.

There something about your patience that I admire.
I'm sad this thread turned around from its previous course so I'll add for good old times' sake:
Model X soon aloft
crescendo speculation roars
expect wood panels

I didn't place much importance on it. At this point, it comes when it comes - I was just sharing it.
Hahahahaha @ 'just sharing it'. I'm sure your face looking totally innocent when you typed that, too.
I think you meant, 'I was just baiting everyone with a little teeny tiny piece of raw meat to see what would happen'.You don't fool me.
That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it!
I can't say I wasn't a bit more hopeful that others, too, were being contacted. We're all hoping to see more news appear. You have the distinction of being one of the first and of course you'd be the first person I'd trust when it comes to news on the X. But hey -- sticking to it here -- "just sharing".

There once was a car so shy
that nearly three years went by.
The crowd needed pampering
so Elon sent scampering
something to catch their eye.

"This car," said he, "is Model X.
It's the very last letter in S3X.
With it's Falcon Wings,
And wood panelings,
I expects you're all writing out checks!"
