Tracking Multi-red production and sequencing

[AprilDelivery??]

If you didn't order the tech package , do you still get a standard rear view camera instead of a high definition one, plus do you get an alarm and immobilizer? I'm sorry I'm asking here but it's not clear on the website and my delivery is April 24-May 7!

Quick question re sequencing of events. I have my VIN. Completed final paperwork. Mailed final payment. My car appeared in the app today (though not active, of course). At what point in the build process does it appear in the app? Is it just before testing? Just before it loads on the carrier for transport? Just curious as my pick up is next Friday in White Plains but would love to get it faster. Thoughts?

I don't really understand the comments about damage. Is there a reason that this is any different than driving the car on the freeway once you get it?

I understood that the cars were shipped in enclosed 18 wheelers, thus protected from the elements, road debris, and the like. Most of the early delivery posts showed that. Thus shipping in standard open carriers without the car covered is new to me. I want the car delivered in as pristine condition as possible. Shipping them this way means something far from pristine, requiring much more work for a detailer to get it in ideal condition.

For what is is worth, almost all of the car carriers I have seen in the loading area behind the Factory are COVERED Vans. I was surprised to see the picture of the open carrier on 880 this weekend.

I kind of suspect that open carriers may be used for short distance delivery. I have seen a lot of closed carriers heading south on US 101, but have yet to see a Tesla on an open one. Yes, I know, - if they are closed how do I know what's in them? I don't. But there are very few auto manufacturers north of San Jose, and lots of carriers heading south (covered).

Any pics or video of Gray 21" wheels and multicoat red please!!!!

I got my VIN# 8988 and they said my car is being painted now in the assembly line . Approximate delivery April 29 at Springfield, NJ.

Thanks. In spite of that photo I'm quite confident the cars shipped any distance will be in closed carriers.

Over the past 4 months I've seen 3 pics of MS on open carriers. One person reported their windshield had to be replaced due to rock hits. Just sayin.

Got my VIN today #8918 with Factory pick up on 4/26. :biggrin:

Good times! Got my delivery button tonight. Selected pickup at the LA service center between 5/3 and 5/17. My car is not alive yet on the App.

I got my e-mail at 6:51pm, just after I finished completing my delivery details. Let us know your delivery window so we can compare notes.

 

[Merrill]

Got my delivery button tonight, eta 5/3 to 5/17, they did not give me the home delivery option which I really would prefer. Sent them an e-mail to ask why.

 

[andrewket]

I received my delivery email a few minutes before 10pm eastern tonight. Delivery window 5/8 - 5/22. Yay!

 

[Alpha]

I got mine as well, must have gone out in the same email batch. My window is 5/8 - 5/22.
No home delivery option either, and I emailed asking about that as well...
I suspect they are delivering so many cars now that it's just not practical to do it anymore as they don't have the manpower to keep up...
P.S. @andrewket Thanks for the report on Perf+

Looks like May 6-20. I did not finalize until 2/11. I need to call a DS tomorrow though as my only option was St. Louis service center delivery and I would like to explore the possibility of Chicago delivery in order to take advantage of Tesla Financing. (I believe Daveruns is doing the same?).

 

[highfalutintodd]

Got my email and delivery button tonight, too!

Estimated Delivery Window May. 6th - May. 20th, but I'm REALLY hoping it's closer to the 6th.

Home delivery selected, but might have only been an option because I'm nowhere near a service center.

 

[andrewket]

For everyone that received the delivery questionnaire tonight, don't forget to update the spreadsheet. See page 1 for the link.

I was told that home delivery is no more unless someone is nowhere near a service center.
That personal touch from Roadster days just can't be done cost effectively with large a scale production.
