I'm waiting to speak to Cary on Tuesday and also waiting to hear from our builder (we're about to build and kinda need to know the building budget!) before I confirm.
Good idea - I'll start a spreadsheet
you could save yourself a lot of maintenance work and just use a google form, it populates a spreadsheet for you, haven't used them much but I believe it's quite simple.

Can anyone clarify what confirmed means? I chose my options and clicked on order knowing I can vary my options until 10 June...the dashboard now shows:
Order Pending
Your Model S will be confirmed on June 10, 2014. Once confirmed, we'll begin sourcing parts and building your Model S.
But gives a "Confirm Now" button which I am loath to press as I may wish to change my options after talking to Cary on Tuesday night...
So I consider myself confirmed but my options may change.
Cheers
David
PS I can access Timpoo's spreadsheet and can update.

And I have a RN number..

Confirmed
confirmed means just that. The message on dashboard is order confirmed, we are sourcing parts for your car. Or similar to that. I confirmed since as a sig there are minimal additional options, the pano roof, sub zero pack or colours, wheels etc.basically other than roof or subzero, you can swap anything. Price is all inclusive ( and steep!).
Confirmed means that your order is locked in and if you cancelled you would forfeit your deposit. You can either confirm manually, or it will be auto-confirmed after two weeks.
You may, or may not, be able to change the order after confirmation (up to Tesla if they will accept the change).

Confirmed on Friday Sig Performance Plus with Sig red paint, pano, grey 21 inch wheels, and all the trimmings. Also well and truly most expensive car I've ever bought. As Dborn says, you only live once. My brother also confirmed on Friday. After 5 years it looks like it might be really happening!

Thanks MDK - I'm also in WA, have you heard anything on how we'll get our cars delivered (and serviced)?

Good work! Have you uploaded it somewhere?
Thanks - I guess I was just hoping that an RN number was as good as confirmed....

RN is just reservation number I think - I've had mine since I placed my reservation last year.
Oh well I am not prepared to pull the trigger until I have a few of the options discussed - not sure about the trims and whether I really want a spoiler (I think not) etc....saw a car in the US but that was last October and I didn't know enough to look at the trim levels carefully.
However, I think domestic harmony will require me to select blue - not my first choice. May even have to put my wife's Carlton plates on it.....no I would have to draw the line at that!

Anyone else note the Tesla site shows Australian deliveries starting this 'Summer'? Model S Facts | Tesla Motors
This is "Tesla time". Not only is it flexible in duration, but it's defined in the Northern Hemisphere. My interpretation is that at least a few customers will have their cars by mid-September.

When I go in through the "buy" tab and it brings up the screen with the Model S, Model X and Model X Sig it still shows Autumn 2014 for Model S deliveries. So we either have just entered Tesla time stretch based upon Southern Hemisphere definitions or we won't see anything until at least September based upon Northern hemisphere.
Also note that deposit for Model S has dropped to $3k (as per the US?)

Well there is more than 1 way to measure maximum demand; calculation, limitation, measurement... I chose calculation. but I didn't want to go into detail.
In any case you still need to do what I said to install the "master switch" CB.
Tassie was discovered first so a lot more older installations here
What's your day job president_ltd?
My day job is certainly NOT being a sparkie - so thank you for your informed comments.
Separate to the thread here, I'd started a thread for the sparkies on renovateforum.com.
Alas, I'm now thinking that what i thought was a 63A circuit breaker on the master switch is likely just a master switch and not a CB.
So likely I'd need that changed over from a safety perspective.
Not sure if these forums allow cross-linking forums but if they do, other thread is at How big can an individual circuit be (Melb/VIC/single phase)
I'm not keen to post what my day job is here but am happy to share at the event on Tuesday night.
