Asking for payment?
Okay my P85S has been in production since 11/25 and at this point I just imagine it riding around and around the factory on that automated track for hours a day while the workers occasionally put on a lug nut or headlamp as it glides slowly past.
It's still in production but tonight I got an email requesting payment.
Is that a significant change or are they just charging me rent for the time my car is spending laying around the factory?
If I had to guess, based on what little information has been shared by various DSs including mine, the recent bout of cars kicking off on top of the few that have entered production since the logjam, i think the problem will be resolved over the weekend and cars will be completed and continue according to the usual process, I.e. Some pickups will start next week and those of us getting deliveries will receive cars the week after. I was starting to wonder if they were actually rebuilding my car (it went back into build on December 2cnd) but presumably they would have to use a different VIN number?
What?? ... this is ridiculous. Why would the Montreal store have 4 Ds and the Toronto store have none? Are you sure?
I am busy this weekend but I am hopping on my plane on Monday and flying to Montreal to check them out. Wanna come with me?

I would really like to share your optimism, because that would mean that some of us might still take December delivery.
Your point of Tesla re-building the cars in the queue is a good thought, however, that would mean that they let forty-some cars go through before detecting the flaw. I think it's more likely that they may have detected potential problems after a handful of cars, after which they had to fix things by hand, caused the observed slow-down.

from the Tesla Motors forum:
VIN 53xxx P85D "In Production" as of 11/25. My DS told me today that they have had "vibration issues" with the front motor and therefore are running additional QC tests. He would not give me an expected delivery date

Sounds plausible. I get nervous about items that are built by hand. Inconsistent, generally more susceptible to annoying things like rattles that are very difficult to fix, etc.
I've created a google docs spreadsheet where we can track this.
Hmmm.... What's up, Google is tells me that I no longer have permission to look at the spreadsheet?
I tend to agree with what you're saying, I.e they detected problems after a handful of cars that had actually completed production, unfortunately mine being one of them. They could be hand fixing the problems while also working on the line but I was musing that it's also possible that they might have just rebuilt a few from scratch which would also lead to a week delay or so. I'm fine with the hand fixed idea as I know that if there were relatively few needing fixing then they will be getting special attentionYour point of Tesla re-building the cars in the queue is a good thought, however, that would mean that they let forty-some cars go through before detecting the flaw.
