The number of 50 000 includes new and imported cars, yes. But we are of course hoping that the government will increase this threshold.
On another note: My car just went into production (VIN 5YJSA7H23FFP677XX)! :biggrin:

my p85d P66538 in final stage of build should have car by mid next week no word yet on if front and rear seats will be next gen P66538
I used a calculator to estimate what my P85D in order would cost with tax. With the terrible exchange rate between NOK and USD in mind, the price is still about 270 000 USD. Had to have spent about 130 000 USD just for the number of HP. In the words of @frosken; "Yeah, tough choice".
New software update downloaded today. Havent really had a chance to go through it in detail, but it appears adaptive cruise control is now in. There is now a backup cartoon thing that pops up on the camera when in reverse. And that's all I've got for now. I don't believe anything has been updated on the motor idling/range issues, but I could be mistaken. Will check in later.

I guess the newer VIN will help with resale down the line too. Plus the next gen seats will come pre-installed so that saves another headache. The biggest downside is the loan paperwork that has to be done from scratch through Alliant.
Just hoping they can attach the P85 loaner to my Tesla account so I can control it for the next few months from my phone. The regional guy helping out says its not something they usually do but he will see what can be done in my case. Hoping for the best.

I wonder if they can beat the three day build time of my last car.
Congrats! My delivery has moved to March now, probably due to my recent changes. No biggie for me though.
Picked mine up from Highland Park in a snow storm; 4" of snow. Luckily they had the winter tires on and the summers in the back. I'm getting the xpel full body wrap and opticoat put on today. SO I'll be without her for a few days. Heated steering wheel and next gen back seats.
Nice car! If you don't mind sharing, where are you getting the full XPel wrap done? Tried to do this earlier last year and could find no installers that would do the full body n the Chicago area. Are you getting Opticoat done from the same shop? Thanks.
Yep. Chicago Auto Pro's. I'm doing a full writeup and review on it and will post on here in about a week. The clear bra has to cure. I have partial xpel on my g37 and jx35. I went full body cause I dont want to ahve to deal with swirl marks ever.

I'm getting the full body xpel and opti coat on top of it. They are also doing opti coat on the rims, puting opt leather and glass on as well. They are tinting all the windows 35 percent and its cereamic so the rear should be good for kids and keeping solar heat out of their face. All done in the shop. Jason Otterness is the contact there you want to talk to. He's getting swamped with Tesla's Mine is his first p85d and he's got 3 more in the coming week.

Wow I remember back when this all started, being amazed with your patience and ability to wait until 2015. Now I'm most likely going to get my car later than you but it won't be long now.In production

@gpetti, sound familiar? Could this be the beginning of "The European Black Hole"!? LOLHmm... Today mytesla is back to showing "in production" _again_...

Overall, it looks like Tesla HQ had a mad push to complete cars for the Q4 deadline and worked through the holidays. Then they offset the break and many had the first week of Jan off because there was very little action. Now it seems as though it's all about Europe with many productions beginning for our friends across the pond. While I'm certainly happy for them... I'm still in the dark on where my car is. Thanks to @gpetti I now have a loaner so I'm not struggling with one vehicle.
My P85D is also scheduled to be completed January 19 my DS says
Note that 'end-of-line' is not the same as 'production complete'. You would think so, but the former status is reached just before production begins.

Indeed, end-of-line is when the car (a VIN) reaches the end of the waiting line before entering production.
