Interesting. I thought to myself end October, so 2 November would be pretty close! As long as we get to enjoy it over the Xmas break I'm very happy.

I am #114 in the production Model S sequence, so there are likely a lot of cars produced before mine. I just don't know of them as they either aren't on TMC or didn't tell me (or - don't know it yet).
It could possibly be closer to 50 days between, maybe even less. As for deliveries - let's see, July 23rd was the first 8 Sigs, the 58 days will probably be quite close to the days between first sigs and first production - actually delivered.
Tesla in Australia?
For those of us in WA, here's a copy of an email I got from Stone yesterday.
I understand that you were looking for some more information about the process for customers that had ordered their vehicles in Western Australia.
I don’t have any definitive answers for you about how it will work at this stage, but our service and delivery teams are working on it right now.
Tesla wants to ensure that when we deliver cars to an area that we can also provide high quality service to all customers there. We have faith in our vehicles and their performance. If any issues were to arise and we weren’t able to quickly rectify the issue though, that could damage the customer experience. I speak for myself at the moment, but would personally rather ask for more patience than rush into a situation and assume it will go well.
My mobile number is (REDACTED) and I try to be available nearly 24/7 unless with a customer so please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Let me know how I might be of assistance to you and we are glad to have you as part of the Tesla Family.
All The Best,

Driving around in an ICE feels so damn antiquated since my test drive!!!
That's because it is!
Just wait until you drive every day in an EV for several weeks and then drive an ICE. The effect is even more pronounced.Driving around in an ICE feels so damn antiquated since my test drive!!!

I would say they're probably trying to time it with the opening of the service centres...I don't think there would be any production hold ups as they are producing RHD vehicles right now.

Not in my personal opinion. I would say more likely that it just hasn't been manually updated for whatever reason.

My and "LGGD's Friend's" Signatures are both still listed as "In Production" as well.

Just saw in one of the threads in the main forums that people are being quoted 2 days to build. So yeah, I would say the early sigs whose productions status is still "In Production" that it probably has been built already and Tesla are holding back for some other reason. Just speculation though.
I remember reading somewhere that Tesla doesn't say 'In Transit' until the car is actually underway, in our case on the boat. So they may be just cooling their wheels in their containers waiting for the Tramp Steamer to Oz. This group would be the four current 'In production' cars plus any early Sig customers not part of TMC.
How about... contact Tesla in Tillburg, Netherlands, and ask them to sell you an unregistered tax-free RHD British market model for export?

The new infinite mile warranty on the drive train is good for us in Australia, because we hues kilometres instead of miles we can have a 1.62 x infinity kilometre warranty:smile:
