Tracking P85D delivery thread

[gpetti]

This did occur to me, but realistically anyone in the market to buy one of these cars will be reasonably familiar with Tesla's model. I also just sold my P85+ and am driving around in an ICE, so the D can't come soon enough.

Yeah, I'm hoping I hold onto this one for a while now so by the time I might be selling it, the Tesla way of doing things should be reasonably well known in the marketplace - i.e. the feature list will be most important. For example, if they buy a 2014 Tesla it may or may not have auto pilot capability. Obviously if a 2015 is for sale my 2014 will look older - and of course it will be (albeit it may only be 1 month). I think buyers will need to compare months and of course mileage in future purchases.
Bottom line is that I'm waaay to impatient to put this off until January and I want to sell the current car sooner rather than later and I don't want to have to drive an ICE for any longer than necessary.

On the flip side of that argument, if you take delivery before the end of the year, you get the $7,500 federal tax credit on your 2014 return and whatever your state offers, instead of waiting a year for the 2015 return. There may even be some states reducing tax benefits from 2014 to 2015. Having those credits a year earlier is a nice counter to the reduced resale value of unknown magnitude. I personally would like to have my P85D as soon as possible.

^^^ This.

I want the tax credits in 2014. Louisiana currently offers an Alternative Fuel Credit which for 2013 & 2014 has been determined by the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources to be $13,600 for the 85 kWh Model S. There is no guarantee this will remain for 2015 (although I know of no reason it won't).

Bottom line, I want my new P85D right now!

My state rebate is going up 2015 but due to the hit I'm expecting to take selling my P85+ I want the rebate as quickly as possible.

Same here just "December" now.

Mine is still late December :-(

Can you guys see your configuration on my tesla? The my profile button just shows name, delivery location, etc. I don't see a way to print your config with or without pricing.

No, before I confirmed I could look at it but not now. Fortunately I saved it prior to confirming.

 

[Vitaman]

Thought it was just me!
For the P85+ I could with one click see my configuration.
With the D I have to rely on memory.

 

[Chuck P85D]

maybe you're right... maybe i'll stick with a 2014. MyTesla page says "December delivery" now, so my request to delay was apparently never processed in the first place!

 

[sundoc]

Yeah that button vanished shortly after the new website came up... But you should have your config and pricing as an attachment in your confirmation email.

The new generation seats are now shown in all colors on the website. Seriously considering making a change away from black. I wonder if that will affect the delivery schedule.

Since they have now added more seat and wheel options my order once again showed two buttons - Confirm Now and Design (I had previously confirmed). I just reconfirmed my order and now have the "View Design" as it was last year when I ordered.

Same here this morning. Changed to Tan seats and 19" wheels.

 

[sataponw]

My delivery date was showing "December" but after I change the seat and wheel, it's now back to "late December" again.

I never got a confirmation email. Somewhere Tesla has an old email address for me. They're trying to figure it out. The correct address is listed on my profile page.

 

[Chuck P85D]

oh cool. going to change my interior to grey. I was always afraid Grey/black would have been too dark.

that, and the grey interior/seats with the black alcantara headliner is GORGEOUS.


going to run 21" greys for summer and order the 19" silvers for winter.

 

[randompersonx]

I kept the 21" Grey Turbine wheels, and changed out to the new Tan next generation seats.

It still shows "December" delivery for me.

You chose unwisely :smile:

I confirmed the same seats and wheels. Mine still shows December.

This is causing me great stress. It was so easy when I had no decisions to make. I'm so torn between the grey and black interiors.

Go see the grey in person if you can.
