Text message update!

I've just got this too. Maybe it's good news as these texts seem to have timed well with Glovis Prime docking. Assuming a few days in port, 3 weeks to get to the EU and a week to the UK would mean these cars (if EU bound) will be delivered late August or early September

That was my guess too. I just had a quick look at dates that people were reporting SMS and docking dates and it doesn't quite tally. Close enough for me though... (I just received the same message )

Trouble with that is every time Tesla detect that you’re checking the source code it knocks your allocated car one more down the list

Well then I'm looking forward to 2039!

Just had this TXT too.
Not sure what to make of it, just checked my source code and it is still showing a Model X in there for some strange reason!
Been the same for 2 weeks! I was hoping it was a free upgrade but then noticed it was a LHD 2016 one....

"Deliveries will continue through August and September" - and presumably just for many years beyond that until they discontinue the Model 3?

Pretty sure Glovis Prime will be headed to China. It's the size of ship normally sent to China, and Tesla tend to alternate EU/China ships, so it makes sense for Prime to be headed over to China, not the EU. It'd be surprising if they did back to back EU vessels especially with no time-gap in between.

 

[Keeper]

So is it true that the longer that the proposed delivery becomes (i.e. another boat load) then the more likelihood is that you get the complete rainbow roof? (I'll just throw that one into the mix.) [coz I want one]

Normally, I'd agree. But now we're in full-on RHD mode... I don't know a lot about how the line works, but I would have thought they'd get as many RHD cars out of the door as possible before switching back to LHD. Maybe I'm just being unrealistically hopeful?

 

[leewillis77]

I think so, sorry ...

The sales are there ready to be had so they will no doubt be taking advantage of it to secure at least 5k+

Yes, apparently we got this one too. No dates. No vin.

 

[AlternateFlux]

Too right it is bonkers! I wonder how many people are actually doing that? Maybe a dozen or so out of the 8000 orders?

I hope it's that low a number. But I would propose that a *lot* of people are emailing, phoning, messaging Tesla and/or their leasing agents on a daily basis as well.

 

[Gareth Davies]

Anyobe with white interior and Stockport?

Yep. SR+ Black / white. But no VIN and no text.

 

[Gareth Davies]

I've had that one today but not The Text. The wait is driving me (and even the wife) mad.

Is it this VIN? 5YJXCAE4XGF006813

I think everyone has that one as it's a code comment. probably from testing the web page previously

i'd rather say it's been timed with the Glovis Champion departing. Glovis Champion is definitely going through the Panama Canal and then presumably to Europe.

I only ordered last week so I'd be amazed if it has already left San Francisco. However, looking at the weights of previous ships and the previous patterns I would be surprised if Prime isn't going to China.

I don't think there is a hidden message behind the text unfortunately. The car is somewhere and will be delivered at some point
