information update:
my car VIN #63445 will be delivered at 2 pm on Sunday Dec. 14, 2014 without NextGen seats.
According to my DS NO NEXT GEN SEATS are available at this time for _ANY_ P85D car being delivered.
based on what I'm reading and what I've been told it is HIGHLY UNLIKELY anyone will receive a car by the end of the year with the Next Gen seats - I’m also doubting January.
Options being offered to P85D customer are:
1 - take delivery now, install Next Gen seats later (January’ish is what I was told)
2- Take delivery now, keep the seats that were installed at delivery and receive a credit for the difference
3 - do not take delivery and wait for the seats to be installed - delivery date is TBD for this option
4 - cancel your order
I would also advise customers choosing option #1 to prepare themselves for a long wait for the seats - it’s not that I don’t think Tesla honestly means to get the seats to me in January - it’s just based on their track record and the likely logistics that I’m going to say they are being optimistic.
If your DS is assuring you of a delivery in the next 2-3 weeks and assures you your car will have the next gen seats installed at delivery may I humbly suggest that your DS is simply being optimistic, but that result would be counter to all the evidence presented so far.
my DS contacted me via eMail and asked me to call him. Which I did.
I can't wait to receive the car!

Two questions:
1) Will the car be coming with the next gen seats?
2) Do you mean Monday Dec 15, or Sunday Dec 14?
Opinion based on this delivery: It looks like both of the first deliveries will be Factory and early builds. While some later build cars have been completed, none have been delivered yet, so there may be something different (or not) about those later builds.

my car will be delivered with current seats - Next Gen seats are MIA right now for all P85D's - Next Gen seat will be installed by Tesla at some future date.
delivery will be 2:00 pm Sunday Dec. 14th, 2014 (thanks for the correction breser!)

Just a point of clarification, yes, Tesla decided a 4.9*'s wasn't good enough for your car seats and wanted the supplier to make changes so the seats would receive a 5* rating. But Tesla does not make the seats. So any delay in receiving the seats will have to do with the supplier, NOT Tesla.

Had enough of the Tesla delays and got ourselves another car today!
Congrats. Are you getting the 'D' as well? A 'green' D may turn out to be a collector's item

Thanks guys. Yes, still patiently waiting for the D but, there's some EV fun to be had in the meanwhile.
That's awesome, thanks for sharing. I have a test drive scheduled for Monday in Orlando, can't wait, but sad I couldn't make it out there today.
Edit: Just realized you were at celebration blvd, isn't that a 35mph road?
