Tracking Model S 85D Delivery Thread

[bonaire]

I wonder if they didn't delay building some P85D's for international orders during the seat problems and have no put them back into the production schedule and that caused some shifting. I know that some European P85D orders have shown starts here recently.

This makes sense. During December, they appear to have built more regular customer ordered S85 when the P85D Recaro seat issue was happening to somewhat catch up with backorders. In the last couple days of December, some Norway buyers reported production start - those could have started a few days earlier but I'm sure California-bound P85D were the goals of that week at the factory. From reading your spreadsheet and the P85D tracking one, I have to think almost all cars now are being newly-ordered as D models. Unless I lived in a warm climate with no chance of snow, I might be inclined to go 'D' by default, even without knowing how well the new software was going to extend the range. I have to wonder what the percent of new RWD non-P orders are (perhaps generally limited to MS60?) Will Tesla continue with RWD loaner cars and then sell at discount each quarter? Will they use D loaners? The D-demographic is interesting.

Spoke to my DS my production start week is now January 26th. He said almost all the cars shifted around last night. Left me with the impression there a delay in some parts to they moved cars around. Also pretty much told me it may move back up again if the part situation changes again.

Hmmm...... I hope they source those parts quick heheh

Not quite "just in time inventory", eh?

How long after you confirm an order do you typically get assigned a delivery specialist (or anybody else who gives one on one correspondence)?

Well with my S85 order back in August it was pretty soon (maybe a week or two). With the 85D I never got the introduction email I got with the S85. But I also asked for specific employee to be my DS, so that may be why. My experience has been if you want information you have to be proactive about contacting them and asking for it. Outside of the introduction email from the first order or the emails from the charging infrastructure support people, I've never had Tesla initiate communication.

If you don't know who your DS is you can just call the service center where you're expecting to take delivery and there should be a phone tree option for delivery. That will get you to one of the DS employees working out of that service center.

Same experience as breser

The only time Tesla has contacted me out of the Scottsdale SC was when they mistakenly thought I had ordered a P85D and my delivery date was in December - so about a month before what they thought would be my delivery date. I don't expect to hear from them again until February at this point.

It'll be on the dashboard under the rendering of the car in the area just under the Model S label (which is on the left side, right side has the status of the car through production). Until you have a VIN the Reservation Number will show. When a VIN is assigned it'll silently start showing up there.

 

[ethanr75]

Should I be concerned that I don't have a VIN yet even though I confirmed my order in early Nov?

VINs are assigned usually (but not always) around 2 months before expected delivery. If you've got a Late March then I wouldn't expect you to get a VIN for a few more weeks.

My order (earlier in this thread), placed in October, included April as requested delivery. It was listed as Late April until yesterday. Now it just says April.

 

[ethanr75]

I might be newbing out here, I thought the number under 'Model S' in the lower left corner was a reservation number. I show 'RN3625xx' there. This is actually a portion of the VIN?
