just got this

Tesla Update - Thank you for your patience, due to unprecedented volume you may have issues reaching us. As your vehicle departs the US you'll receive a delivery window notification. Once in Europe we will send you a scheduled delivery date. 24 hours before delivery you'll receive a confirmation with payment and registrations details. Please log in to www.tesla.com/teslaaccount to complete your delivery profile as soon as possible. To unsubscribe from SMS, reply STOP.

Thanks for that. No need to go reaching for the phone now to find out what the ding was.

 

[Compuguide]

Yeah, just got the same, a few minutes ago.
I guess Tesla is actually saying "We know you can't get hold of us. We have nothing more to tell you other than we are still here"

Nothing received here.

This is a tad worrying for me actually. If accurate, they're saying that if you don't have a delivery window yet, don't expect your car to be on any of the ships that have left the US already.

Given no delivery window for myself yet, that'd suggest I'm stuffed for September - for a May 9th order!!

Very frustrating if true.

Nah.. My car had been in Zebrugge for nearly two weeks before I rung up asking for information and they gave me a delivery window.

It's more an aspirational statement of what Tesla would like to happen, rather than what actually happens. Suspect it's all manually initiated as an automated system would be far more consistent.

Ha - got the text 30s after posting this!

 

[rubberfish]

Just got it too. Got all excited for a moment there!

 

[hug123]

Ordered two weeks ago and last week got a delivery window: 21st-28th September. Also got this text, not holding my breath for September. Reading other threads it looks like they often miss the delivery window.

[NorfolkMustard]

Ordered 12th Aug, just popped into Heathrow and I have a pencilled-in delivery of 1st week in Oct

I thought I just got the text as a result of popping in to enquire

 

[Dangerous Fish]

Meanwhile, lots of us with day 1 reservations get sweet FA.

 

[NorfolkMustard]

Very helpful staff at the Heathrow office, answered my order questions in a couple of mins. Pop in to your local place and ask for an update

it’s generally assumed they start allocating vins when the ship exits the panama canal. edinburgh showroom staff also said this to me

what spec?

 

[hug123]

what spec?

Exact same spec as Zayn, blue P+, they must have produced those soon before or after we both ordered

I got the same text about an hour ago. June 2016 reservation holder P3+.
