Tracking P85D delivery thread

[MarcG]

When Tan and Grey became an option, there was a 3x3 matrix: Black, Tan and Grey, on the x, and Next Gen, Performance, and Nappa on the y. Now textile is an option on the far left, and performance is gone. It's a 3x2 matrix.

FYI, when I was playing around with the configurator during the last week of October, textile seats were definitely an option to the left of the 3x3 matrix, so there were 10 seat choices (!) for the P85D. I think textile seats became an option when they dropped the silly requirements for 21" wheels and tech/air on or around 10/24.

Ordered 11/4 and have a vin by 11/8? Alrighty then.

Yep they are definitely trying to get as many P85Ds delivered as possible before the end of the year. (BTW I ordered 10/27, confirmed 10/29, and got a VIN 11/01 - looks like most orders that were placed in October got their VINs during the first couple of days of November).

Yes, I was really surprised and pleased to check the Tesla site tonight and see the VIN pop up.

Even more impressive than that is the guy above me on the Google doc (rossh) who ordered on 11/07 and has his VIN (

64984)​

I must have missed it. I was rather focused on the tan next gen seats

Hehe no worries at all.

Ok so we're one month in now since the D announcement. Over 90 of us have a VIN assigned. Did anyone get an "IN PRODUCTION" update on My Tesla yet? (getting a little antsy, if you can't tell )

 

[lsnetman]

P85D ordered and confirmed Saturday November 8. VIN 65089 assigned today!! Strange, because I also have a P85 on order for the last 2 weeks, without any VIN yet. Both are expected late December.

details:
black with black next gen seats, black alcantara
CF accents and spoiler
red calipers, 21" grey wheels
tech, air susp, premium sound, pano roof, dual chargers
center console

It is pretty clear from the earnings call that they are very much emphasizing P85D deliveries and will do everything they can to deliver as many of them as possible, even if that delays delivery of other cars.

So got an email re: my HPWC being ready for delivery.
When I had my P85+ ordered, it was exactly 4 weeks from that HPWC delivery email to the completion of my build (which I subsequently cancelled).

If things hold true, then the strong 'hint' of my delivery being around Dec.15 may well be true!

Might even end up with the first or second P85D in Canada

 

[Aargau]

I've already gotten my wall connector as of last week. However, I'm quite high up in VIN # at 64190.

[celter]

Ordered: 10/11
Confirmed: 10/11 and reconfirmed 10/25
Estimated delivery: late February (Norway)
Black, 21'' Grey, Black new generation seats, piano black, white headliner, all the options except 3rd row and spoiler.

 

[sundoc]

Hey ... wait a minute. My VIN is below yours so you will definitely end up with the second one

Guess it'll depend which one rolls of the truck first eh haha

I can see it now. The poor DS gets calls from both of you bidding to get the first delivery. Could be a very good Christmas for that DS. :biggrin:

Locked in air and asked for the first available 2015 ViN

WOW! I expected you to at least last till December before you ordered since you got the MP4-12C.

 

[lolachampcar]

The sales tax savings of trading the 12C will almost completely offset the difference between what I paid for the 12C and Manheim auction numbers for the car. Put differently, bring on the D as the 12C is cheaper to own/operate than getting a rental!

It is a nice car. The problem is going to come when I want to keep both.

Mine just arrived today. Eager to see the first of our cars go into production!

Does this mean that you're sufficiently satisfied with the new improvements to the air suspension from Tesla engineering not to order the coil springs?

Congrats. Week 1 build, you're in Florida, MAYBE 1/15 delivery? I'm actually going to be in your neck of the woods driving back from Ft. Lauderdale around 1/3, hopefully with my D.

Yeah, spill the beans.

 

[lolachampcar]

Tesla is unable to provide information on the "delete air" option. I interpret this to mean that marketing dumped the delete air option on engineering and now engineering must make it happen. Even though they have field "re-valveable" dampers, it is a lengthly process to get things perfect. I suspect it will be a lot like early MS shipments when, if you ordered coil, you were looking at a three to four month delay in getting your car.

I'm comfortable with the air option because (1) I can always put coil springs on it and (2) when the head of chassis engineering tells me I will not be disappointed, I believe him

Anyone getting a PD in the lower half of Florida is welcome to swap keys with me for a test drive....

Right! Haha

ironic you got a McLaren 12C, as many owners of that car were stunned when McLaren made a HUGE upgrade to it with the 650S just a few short years after the 12C's introduction. rings familiar...
