It looks like you were able to update the doc. Interesting; you're 64184 on the east coast with a very early delivery. I note that you selected a black interior. Given the notice that went out that Tan/Grey interior cars would be delayed maybe by a week or two, your delivery date which implies an EOL week of the 3rd week of November, I think gives us a datapoint that suggests that the P85Ds may not be produced in VIN order. We know Tesla batches and that absolute VIN order is not adhered to, but now it appears there may be a production "window" upwards of 1k VINs. I would not be surprised if we start seeing other black interior cars with the first week of December deliveries.

Good point. I pretty much built almost the same car as the one I have (the one I am trading). I also picked the original white alcantara instead of black since I actually really like the look of my existing car.
When I spoke to my DS she actually seemed confident that 12/5 was a worst case and it could potentially be earlier. This is also the tone of the email I received, quoted below, although this email seems like a prefab message mostly.
So, we'll see how it goes and I'll post any updates as needed.

Really? Maybe the rumored new paint facility is the reason for this? Is an interesting coincidence otherwise.

The 60D has also been discontinued, and the D option for the 85 went up from $4k to $5k.

P85 only available as a D now, too.
Again, reducing options to streamline production, and no doubt help get the most dollars out of each constrained production slot they can.

Just got a call from my DS as well. He's looking at a 12/8-12/10 production completion date for my P85D but nothing more specific than that.
I told him about your schedule and according to him, if your delivery date is relatively accurate, your P85D should be entering production in mid-November.
As for VIN sequencing, he seemed to think that they don't necessarily produce them in order, so expect to see later VINs produced earlier and vice-versa.
Looking forward to seeing "entered production dates" appear on the Google doc! Thanks again Andrew for maintaining it.

Just added my P85D order to the spreadsheet. Looks like three of us are taking delivery in Rockville, MD!
I originally ordered a standard 85D in mid October and then changed it to the P in late October. My delivery says late December. Very excited... Hope it comes in Christmas week, not the last two days of the month!

Not sure if the spreadsheet accounts for folks who had a P85 on order when the P85D was announced and whether it will affect delivery dates. I had P85 on order 9/17 confirmed and then P85D came out and confirmed 10/15 (maybe 14) and reconfirmed 10/24. I was told I would not be put back in line if I switched to a D.

MarcG 3 Questions:
1- Is the spreadsheet correct in that you have a 12/8/2014 delivery date scheduled?
2- If so, who did you sleep with?
3- Do you think I have any chance with them?:biggrin:

HAHA you're funny. I mentioned in the spreadsheet that my DS gave me an *estimated* delivery of the 12/8 week's first half.
Here's the sequence of events that I went through:
10/27 - ordered 85D online after much deliberation
10/28 - test-drove 85 and P85 with OA in Corte Madera store (no sleeping with anyone yet)
10/29 - confirmed order for P85D, delivery estimate at Fremont factory showed "Late-December"
10/30 - called OA to plead for a first-half December delivery (consider that the "sleeping with someone" part) to coordinate with my vacation time
10/31 - changed to San Rafael service center delivery per OA's recommendation (he then made some calls to request early-December)
11/01 - received VIN ending in 63084, deliver estimate changed to "December"
11/03 - spoke to inside delivery team member, got late-Nov/early-Dec production timeframe
11/04 - delivery specialist assigned to me, had a good conversation about scheduling, estimated first half of December delivery
11/05 - DS looked further into production schedule, provided 12/8-12/10 delivery date
Let me know if you need more details than that. Good luck "sleeping around"! :tongue:

I had to promise not to sleep with my wife in order to spend $130k of "our $" on the D. So I am really looking for some action!
Seriously though, I had a P85 on order since September and switched to the P85D before you. Yet I am in late December. For certain, you are saving 10+ days by picking up locally but you still seem to have some sway with your OA. I guess I am just a bit jealous!
Hopefully, I will get lucky in delivery dates since I am not too lucky in love.
