Ignore... just checked the translation from English to French - car "scheduled for production", not "in production"... :scared:

It appears that the estimated delivery date for Australian P85D orders have been pushed back from “June” to “July”
Do you guys even get snow there?
Are you crazy? You live in FLORIDA! Get either the base or Pearl White--your car will be much cooler in the sun, and your range will increase compared to blue or black (less HVAC load means more RANGE).
Body temperatures are easily 30 to 40 degrees warmer in high temps; dark colors are terrible in hot environments.
Change your color today and you'll thank me later...
Do you guys even get snow there?
Not in Sydney. Temperature rarely falls below 10°C (50°F) in winter, so I'm hoping to get decent range all year round

Finally got my car with front gen seat and heated steering wheel.
Bring it for opticoat tomorrow, and long trip to Miami Thursday... will try it in extreme cold (-25 C) when leaving Montreal.

Lol, I guess we did make the right move after all. Emailed my DS yesterday, color has been changed officially and he made a point to tell me that I can't change my options anymore, I'm all "locked in". Your comment makes the decision feel better and my DS called me today with the news that changes were approved and stressed the same, dark colors are not the best way to go in Florida. I thought he was just trying to validate me, but I also see the point and makes sense now that you break it down like that.
In all fairness, white was one of my top options to start with. As stupid as it may seem, we went with blue because I didn't want 21" rims and we had not seen a good set of 20" rims that we liked for the white car. Until I showed my wife this picture, http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/show...rmarket-wheels?p=862667&viewfull=1#post862667
The TSW Nurburgrind wheels were also top of my list for aftermarket wheels but we wanted a silver color and my wife said she didn't like how the silver looked in the blue car, so we decided on other wheels. As a side note, I ordered my car with red calipers but wasn't thrilled about the contrast with the blue car. In addition, i initially ordered the car with carbon spoiler but took it out because I felt it was a waste on the blue car as it didn't stand out enough. Suffice to say I am very happy with our option now, and have added back in the spoiler. Everything contrasts well, the wheels look great, and to top it off I saw a white Model S today on highway 4 and just loved it!
I did go with the Pearl White as I like the metallic look and the richer look.

Please keep us updated on your trip down south progress and experiences. Maybe in it's own thread.
I just drove 1k miles from Florida to DC. I charged to 100% only once and it wasn't needed. Cruise control anywhere from 65-90. The super chargers are spaced no more than ~160-170 miles apart (at least between Ft lauderdale and NoVA) and was super easy.
Hey guys ... sorry for the bad news. One of my new P85D died on day 2 of driving with only 191km on ODO. Here is the story:

Hope everyone else has better luck than me.

Found something worse then waiting for a P85D. Having to wait a second time!
I took delivery on New Year's Eve and have immensely enjoyed the vehicle. That is until I placed winter tires on the car last Saturday. Within a couple of miles, one of the tire sensors came loose and shredded the inside of the tire, (though at the time I thought it was a simple nail or screw I ran over). Tesla towed the car to my tire store, but of course by then it was closed. Long story short I had to wait until Monday to get in the store. That's when I found out the tire was wasted. So I had to special order a replacement tire for early Tuesday morning, only it did not show up until late this evening.
Anyway, after 3 long days I finally got my baby back. I must say that waiting a second time for my P85D was ten times worse than the initial wait! Once you experience the D you are changed forever. Hence the 3 day absence felt longer then the original 2 month wait because I knew what I was now missing! My life is hard. lol
Actually I take it all back. I would rather deal with a tire issue than the 12v battery going dead. Sorry osama.

So it sounds like (from reading the thread referenced above) this is the first known E-pack failure. Great!
Edit: I made the comment above after having read the comments through that point in the thread above. Reading more this morning, other frequent posters here, whom I respect, are pointing out that conclusions may be being jumped to too soon. That being the case, please take my comment above with the appropriate grain of salt. It may not be an E-pack failure at all. There are any number of things that could have gone wrong. If you are interested in the complete discussion, please read the thread. I apologize if I added to the "jumping to conclusions." When I posted, I thought the conclusion was universally agreed upon by those here who were knowledgeable. I now realize that is not the case.

"Flickering" delivery date
My delivery date is "flickering" a bit. It started out at Late February, pulled in to February a week or so ago, and just moved back to Late February within the last couple days.

What is the language of your MyTesla web page, norwegian or english/US (the little flag at the bottom of the page) ?
The reason I ask is: I get two different messages in FR and in US for my order 67685.
FR (translated) : the production ... has started
US: your model S has entered the production queue
For France, the translation in FR is not accurate.
