The 19" Standard and 19" Cyclones are back on the configurator. By popular demand perhaps?
No other changes that I can see.
We get 'Includes summer tires' and the US get 'Includes all season tires'

Me too, to receiving my final invoice. However, My Tesla still says "Your Model S has entered the production queue at our Factory in Fremont, California". When THAT changes, I'll get really excited.
There seems to be two clusters of VINs & resultant processing - around the 78xxx and around the 98xxx.

Congratulations CUDoc on your purchase and welcome to the Aussie forum...
Seeing our cars go into production will be exciting but it's like a tree falling in a forrest with no one to hear it. The real fun starts in September!
Late August, actually.
I sincerely hope that us late-comers are included in the late August batch but my fear is that it is still staggered somewhat and that we are expected in September and late September...
But you of course are late August and so we will be relying upon you to keep us all up to date and informed!
Thanks for the welcome, ZTrekus.
Now for the post my first one was SUPPOSED to be:
VVVVVIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!
yes, my VIN has arrived. No final invoice as yet (but no rush for that, I tell you!)
(VIN ends in 922.. If that helps anybody??)
regards
Hey, Brewster
I ordered a P85D, in the new blue. Pano roof, carbon fibre, 19" turbines, tan leather next gen, black alcantara, autopilot, smart air suspension, hifi.
I don't think there was a security option when I ordered??
I ordered in December.
Then cancelled.
Then reordered in March! Still not sure......!!
The security package was included by mistake on some order confirmations. It's not available in Australia.

Confirmed
Not so sure about that. My sig has an alarm. Left my wife in the passenger seat for a bit the other day. When she opened the door to get out, the alarm went off. I guess the car locked itself and she opened a locked car without the key.
I think all Model Ss come with an alarm, but European customers used to be able to order an optional security package which adds an additional motion-activated alarm powered by an independent 12V battery. This option seems to have disappeared recently though.
I am really pleased about that. Looks like this time it is for real.
Just got my final invoice.

And what's with Tesla's peculiar 'E' - the 3 dashes without the shaft? Is that supposed to represent the absence of a drivetrain or something? To me it just lacks backbone. If they tried that with the 'D' thread, well the 'D' would just resemble a backward 'C' - and that just wouldn't man-up at all!
Perhaps it represents bolts of lightning emanating from a Tesla coil. But on the other hand, it's also a triple negative sign. And that's not very positive, whichever way you look at it. Just detracts from the positive '+esla' image...
Always gets to me how a company, in striving to come up with a unique trademark, sees its way fit to re-invent the English font. But 'E', the most common letter in the English alphabet? And what's more, they have subtracted from it, not added to it. Sort of like T=sla. Couldn't imagine a... =lon Musk! If they must mutilate it, surely adding a righthand stem to the E would have been better, don't you think? A very positive contribution. Box it in I say. (Remember how 1+1= a window?)
And hey... I ain't the only one with a dirty mind here. Model S, Model 3, Model X. Do I need to spell it out for you? Now with extra 'D'... That's front AND back mind you. 4 wheel drive eh? Sounds ghastly...

It WAS model E until Ford threatened to sue over copyright issues I believe. Now, I guess, they are using the Tesla E and justifying their huge investment in the font they had commissioned, and calling it 3 .
