JKW Just got an official email fromJerome Guillen VP, Worldwide Sales and Service
"Unfortunately, we experienced some delays in the production of the first P85D. I apologize for any inconvenience we are causing. We have now resolved the final concern, which was the airbag deployment for the upgraded seat design. We always want to err on the side of caution. We are building and shipping P85D cars now. Your delivery specialist will contact you shortly to finalize the delivery date."
So w will have to see how much of a delay there will be. At least it is good communication even if the news isn't great.�

wk057 Got the email as well. This will hold me over for now, thank you, Tesla.

andrewket The email ended up in my promotions folder (gmail). I've even set a rule to try to force it into my primary inbox but it hasn't worked.
Yay P85Ds are shipping. Boo mine is still in production, although it seems to have moved into the next step. It's going to be tight. It may not make it here in time for my trip, and therefore 2014 delivery. Everyone cross their fingers.�
Dec 9, 2014
flyboyzz1 I checked and nothing from them in spam. O well, not a big deal.�
Dec 9, 2014
DPDsModelS I too got the email even though I am still in production.
However, more importantly I am hoping that all those whose production was completed (pdx, gpetti, redox, yocool86 etc.) and those whose delivery dates were cancelled (Winterlee, commasign, wk057, jgsuperstar29, PatT, dortor4ev, AMN & NOLA_Mike) get their cars asap.
Only then will we know that the logjam has been released and that Tesla is getting back to a normal delivery schedule.
I am also still looking for your reports on how totally awesome your cars are! (We want details!)�
Dec 9, 2014
PatT I just got the email. Jerome must be in Australia -- it is dated December 10, 2014.�
Dec 9, 2014
JKW The email possibly explains why the demo cars don't have the next gen seats.�
Dec 9, 2014
electrish This is great news!
They must have sent the email to all customers who ordered, since I got it even though my car is not in production yet.
However, I hope that from now on the majority of vehicles produced will be P85Ds to make up for the slow-down.
I would venture that proper side airbag deployment was hindered either by the enlarged headrests or because the rear seats seemed to have been slightly moved forward (You can see it when you toggle between old and next generation seats on the order page). It's interesting though that they only detected it after the first cars were build.
Kudos to Tesla though for communicating and hopefully the promise will hold that our delivery specialists will contact us shortly to finalize the delivery dates!�
Dec 9, 2014
MarcG Very possible, yes - although I rode in a P85D engineering vehicle in Palo Alto that had front next-gen seats but "old" rear seats.
I'm heading to Corte Madera in about an hour to test drive the P85D they got, although I was warned it also does not have next-gen seats either. Will keep everyone posted.�

Kidding aside :biggrin:, I'd like to think that your email to Jerome did have an impact. So thanks for that. Hope you make it!�
Dec 9, 2014
sillydriver I think this makes sense. The front airbags tend to shove you back into the seat, a motion where I doubt the plusher side-bolstering would make much difference in terms of forces on the body. The rear airbags tend to shove you sideways across the seat, where hanging up on the new bolstering would make a difference to forces.�

pdx I've been production complete since 11/26.

Dec 9, 2014
randompersonx In fairness, this was at best a rumor. This was never officially given as a reason, except perhaps by some DS (who many of us believe to just make up information, unfortunately).�
Dec 9, 2014
gpetti It does seem, funny that with all the different responses we heard: from some DSs who claimed there was no delay, to the Elon fit and finish, EPA stickers, extra QA inspection time, etc. the actual reason was the only one we didn't get. I also can't see why it would have been bad to tell us this up front.�

Dec 9, 2014
mrElbe OK, if the problem(s) have been solved we should see joyous messages of production starts and completions. All I see in the spreadsheet is two starts today.
Could it be that:
1. The spreadsheet is a small sample of P85D orders
2. Members are not updating
3. or ????�
Dec 9, 2014
AllenWong Three starts today if you include my recent add. That looks to be on par with the past few days. I'm guessing that members aren't updating that quickly. For example, I see several people who have similar VIN numbers as me with the same estimated delivery date and the same state as me (Florida). Theirs probably started today as well but they didn't update it.�
Dec 9, 2014
MarcG Just got back from an hour-long test drive, see this post for photos!
P85D sighting / test drives - Page 24�
Dec 9, 2014
GonzoDad During the darker days when we had no information and were grasping at straws, I'd done some rough analysis of the gaps between VINs. After adjusting for outliers, including some of the larger gaps which appear to be blocks allocated for some purpose ???, I'd estimated that *at most* 1 of every 10 P85Ds is accounted for in the sheet.
I haven't looked at it much since, as the lack of movement was disheartening, so can't comment on freshness of the current data.�
Dec 9, 2014
Conger I'm not sure what the :"rough analysis of the gaps between VINs" means. It seems to me as VIN # 63299 and still in the queue that VIN # is not real meaningful as far as the P85D's are concerned. I would agree with your overall conclusion about very few cars being represented in the spread sheet. I also think that die hards fans are more likely to order early and be in the spreadsheet so it may be further skewed towards the earliest adopters.�
Dec 9, 2014
wk057 So, I figured out that at 100% charge the P85D has between 240 and 244 rated miles on the dash. I posted the details here: Range Reduced on Dual Motor Configs? - Page 18

Firewired Those soon to be fellow P85D owners that are taking delivery of with the staggered 21", please consider filling out this quick request to Michelin to make the Pilot Super Sports and option:
Pilot Super Sports for the 21 staggered wheels�
Dec 9, 2014
GonzoDad It means just that, "rough analysis", ie, not fit for peer review.:biggrin: For fun I spent maybe 30 minutes looking at the gaps, trying to account for various things like the mix of other vehicle types, timing issues (such as early adopter skew as you mentioned), and the inherent unreliability of trying to use VINs to predict anything. I was hoping to find something there that might explain the apparent production stall, but ended up making too many assumptions, way more than I'm normally comfortable with, which is why I didn't share initially.
Now that some of the pressure appears to be off, I figured I'd share for entertainment purposes as much as anything.
Please note I was commenting solely on the relative percentage of the P85D population represented, not on using VINs to predict production order... I've commented on the futility of that previously.:biggrin:�

3s-a-charm Congrats, P85Dan! I've also got an E46 M3 (Cab) with under 40,000 miles for summer fun. Denver and no subzero package?? Did you hear that it is rumored to include a heated steering wheel now?�
Dec 9, 2014
P85Dan And VIN: 65265
Entered Production: 11/27/14

Well, the heated steering wheel may have sealed the deal on that package, had I known. Mostly garage to garage with a Jeep Rubicon as a backup. The M3 becomes my son's good fortune!�
Dec 9, 2014
Andyw2100 Don't feel bad. When you read the thread on the topic you will see that if you had ordered the package, assuming that your car still would have gone into production when it did, you would not have had the heated steering wheel anyway. The thread that is discussing this is here: Heated steering wheel. Am I going to get my hands on one?�
Dec 9, 2014
MarcG Ok everyone, ready to hold your breath? I got the strangest update from my DS just now.
Apparently, my P85D was built with seats OTHER than the next-gen Recaro ones that I ordered. They are supposedly in short supply, and there's no ETA on when they expect to get enough to fulfill my order. Otherwise my car is basically done and almost ready to go, save for the Recaro seats.
So I now have the following options:
1. Take delivery by the end of the week with whatever seats they ended up building my car with (my DS doesn't know exactly which ones) and eventually get them replaced with the Recaro ones
2. Wait indefinitely for the Recaro seats to arrive in enough supply and take delivery at a future unknown date (possibly 2015, which is unacceptable to me).
I obviously went with option 1, but does anyone else think this is highly unusual??�
Dec 9, 2014
ariporad Umm... I've never ordered a Tesla, but that seems really weird. Like not true weird.
So much for all of the P85Ds being ready to go.�
Dec 9, 2014
EarlyAdopter Unusual? No. I posited exactly this as the possible cause of the delay earlier upthread.
My early P85 was delivered without a rear spoiler, floor mats, and P85 badge because those items, too, were in short supply at the time. I eventually got the spoiler. Even had my choice of glossy or matte. Never bothered to get the badge.
If my guess ends up being right, what do I win?�
Dec 9, 2014
commasign MarcG - aren't you one of the first P85D to enter production? How can they not have enough Recaro seats? That's very odd. Usually when something is in short supply it's the later orders that might not get the part.�
Dec 9, 2014
NigelM Unusual but quite possible. New model, new seats, unknown demand, sales exceed expectations, or parts didn't arrive on time = Ooops, that option out of stock.
Maybe Elon will punch himself in the face again.�
Dec 9, 2014
Andyw2100 One strange part of that is that your P85D will eventually have the black next gen seats , which were the first ones made available. This would be a little less odd if you had ordered one of the other colors.�
Dec 9, 2014
andrewket Per the spreadsheet, MarcG ordered a black interior, which is by far the most common selection (60.6% black, 19.7% Grey, 19.2% Tan). I thought perhaps the delay was going to be on the non-black seats, since Tesla originally only offered black. Supplier not able to get the other colors to Tesla in time, etc. So much for that theory.�
Dec 9, 2014
LetsGoFast Sometimes reading this thread threatens my sanity. I'll be so much happier when we start to get actual reports of actual cars. I'm shocked by the seat thing, since all the demo models have had at least the new FRONT seats, if not the rear ones. The whole thing is at least a little bit crazy.�
Dec 9, 2014
MarcG Well my P85D entered production on 11/25, so you would think it was one of the early ones - but who knows how many other P85Ds that are NOT on our tracker entered production before mine...�
Dec 9, 2014
Dallas1 It's hard to imagine Tesla delivering lots of black interior P85D's without the seats consumers paid for. How bad would that look?
This IS my first Tesla order, so you experienced ones can tell us if this sounds normal.�
Dec 9, 2014
Andyw2100 Combining this new development from MarcG with the email from Jerome Guillen this afternoon, I'm wondering if the two could somehow be related. I mean, could there have been some combination of issues between the airbags and new seats, that were resolved with slight changes to the design of either the airbag system or the seats, or in how things are put together, that somehow left a small number of cars in a weird state of limbo with the wrong pieces of the puzzle that can't easily now be fit together?�
Dec 9, 2014
AlMc Seat issue: definitely many explanations....not excuses.....As mentioned above, maybe they needed a quick redesign with the airbag issue Jerome noted; maybe the first batch they received were well made and put into the demo cars and when a larger shipment arrived they had a problem with the quality...maybe, maybe. It appears that the deliveries are starting. Maybe we should all wait to see how prevalent 'seat-gate' and 'heated steering wheel gate' are before we start jumping to conclusions?�
Dec 9, 2014
basf_audio Just heard a few bites of information about the number of P85D being delivered before the end of the year in our region (Saint Louis and a few surrounding states) - 150. of those 150 - 30 of those specific to Saint Louis. When I looked at the spreadsheet that is being managed via this thread, there are no Missouri cars on that list (I didn't add mine either...) So it doesn't surprise me that much in trying to extrapolate any amount of sense from just forum input is making weird outcomes that don't make sense.
Also based on that same discussion with the sales office - only two customer cars are arriving next week. The rest are being built week of 12/15 - all will be made available by end of year. However way you want to figure out the math - that could be 15-30 P85D deliveries a day just in our region - with 3-6 of those a day just in Saint Louis before and after Christmas. That's on top of all of the other non-P85D cars coming through the sales office. These guys and gals are going to be crazy busy getting all of these deliveries taken care of. We don't even have that much space to park all of those cars!!
I can only imagine now that the demo tech car is available for rides (no driving yet - bummer!!) - there are going to be a lot of smiling owners soon. That 0-60 just made me laugh my butt off!!! I keep laughing just thinking about it.�
Dec 10, 2014
electrish Well, here is one happy future owner. My status just changed overnight:
This is my first Tesla and I am obviously very excited!
For reference, I ordered and confirmed on 10/24, but had a P85+ on order, albeit unconfirmed, prior to the "D" event. We had to delete that car and start the D order from scratch, because the system wouldn't let us convert it to the P85D. I was initially quoted a tentative production day during the current week and delivery on 12/22, but was told during the slow-down, that production would be pushed back to the week of 12/15. This delay was re-confirmed just last night by my DS, John Van Cleave, who is otherwise very helpful (Thank you, John!), and then the status changed to production overnight. I am obviously very happy, but this chain of events might explain the limited information DSs have available prior to the vehicle entering production.
Regarding the number of of cars ordered, I read on the company website that one of the prospective D owners received information that the Cincinnati Service Center was told to expect more than 40 P85D for December delivery, albeit hard to believe, and mine is the only one in the spreadsheet.
Good luck to everyone else in the queue! Hopefully, the seat issue, as raised by Marc, will be resolved, too!�

By the way, I had replied to Jerome's mass email from yesterday asking whether P85D deliveries are now starting since the final concern was resolved.

ItsNotAboutTheMoney 5. (In Base 10, anyway)
Note of curiosity, in Hex your final 5 digits is FABF.
But even more interesting is that in Octal it's 175277. Doesn't look very impressive, right?
But if you split that into 3 2-digit numbers you get:
17, 52, 77
If you then treat them as decimal that
17, 3 x 17 + 1, 4 x 17 + 7
Which, rearranging and yet again ignoring math gives:

gpetti Wow, can't wait to find out if my car that was supposedly about to go on a truck has seats or not
I asked my DS yesterday what the situation was (as I had heard through others that the P85D situation was resolved) and he just acknowledged that the cars were "moving again" and he would get a new ETA today. To be fair, when the original delay kicked in, he suggested a date of the 17th - a date which may actually prove to be accurate.�

Dec 10, 2014
breser That's probably because their policy has been not to set delivery dates on cars until they're on the truck. That started up after the delays from the factory closure. I think a lot of Delivery Specialists played a bit loose on this policy. I'd bet with the P85D delays, that policy is now being strictly followed.�

meltoots Hello, I'm VIN 66083 P85D due late december in Cleveland OH. Had to tell my DS that I am out of country 12/28-1/4 in case it impacts delivery. Here is his estimate for me.
"We will do everything possible to get your Model S to you before 12/28. I appreciate your patience.
I expect your car to move into manufacturing sometime early next week. I will send you updates as it moves through production."
Hope that helps some of ya'll.�
Dec 10, 2014
wk057 So, I was thinking. Originally, my car was scheduled for 12/5 delivery. Then it went to "In Production" on the 21st.
That's the original time frame given, assuming no issues, of 2 weeks from "In Production" to delivery.
Now, if my car actually went into production say, today... two weeks is the 24th...
That said, if I had to guess, I'd say I won't get the car until after Christmas, but possibly before the new year, assuming they actually began production and are following through.�

Theshadows That still doesn't guarantee it, especially this time of year. We got ours November last year and the truck got delayed 2 days because of a snow storm they ran into in the Rockies, then followed it across the U.S.�

Badger1982 Mine's been "In Production" since 12/1 (and still showing that status). My Chicago DS told me he would let me know when it is scheduled to ship but was unwilling commit to delivery date because he did not know how it would get routed by logistics. I've noticed there are some Chicago cars showing (on the spreadsheet attached to his thread) a Dec 17 Delivery Date. I'm curious if any of those have been confirmed and still planned or whether those delivery dates were entered before the production delays occurred.�

Rossh Just talked to my DS, who had a call with the factory this morning. He is projecting a delivery 12/27-12/30 for my P85D to Seattle. For those you keeping track to handicap your own delivery, I went into production on 11/25. I didn't push him on why because this forum and Jerome's email has already provided the reasons.�

flyboyzz1 I'm a 'the estimated date of the 17th is still possible however I am still unable to confirm an exact date until the vehicle moves into transit'. Been in production since the 24th going to Chicago. So no, not a confirmed scheduled pickup.�

randompersonx If you are getting projected of 12/30 in Seattle, that's pretty bad news for anyone wanting 2014 delivery on east coast�

andrewket Possibly. Or it could be that Tesla is using all of their available trucking capacity to move cars to the east coast now. The usual "maximize end of quarter deliveries" strategy.�

RomeoT 634XX In Production. The Tesla Factory is building your Model S.
Projected delivery date Dec. 26. East Coast.�

jgsuperstar29 Just spoke with my DS - she also confirmed the new seat/airbag issue as the reason for delays, but based on what else she said, I'm a bit skeptical that any of our deliveries are happening for another couple of weeks, (at least).
I went into production 11/21 and am picking up in Fremont, so logically you'd think I'd have a pretty early delivery relative to most that are on the spreadsheet. BUT she said they are HOPING/TRYING to have mine done before the END OF DECEMBER. So that's a bummer, and perhaps doesn't bode well for anyone else hoping for an early Christmas present (and maybe even anyone who was planning to claim that federal rebate for 2014...).
I would guess a lot of us get are going to get pushed into January (despite the negative effects that will have on Tesla's Q4 revenue numbers).
But I'm pessimist by nature, so hopefully Tesla will come through and pleasantly surprise me - I can't wait for SOMEONE here to finally take delivery!�

mdlambert I was invoiced for my P85D today, but still haven't been able to get a confirmed delivery date. Has anyone else experienced this?�

gg_got_a_tesla Just got a call from the DS. My car's still in the inspection stage and is being tested thoroughly (his words). No dice on a delivery this weekend. Leaves just a week before my personal drop-dead date of 12/21 for 2014 delivery. DS still thought that delivery next week is highly likely.
Fwiw, asked about the heated steering wheel�

Yes, I was invoiced over a week ago and I wired the money and still dont have a date for delivery yet. Been production complete since 12/2. Frustrating....�

mrElbe Progress! VIN 63064 went into production this afternoon.�

FredTMC If there's been a log jam of cars at the factory and mods are required before releasing them, then it makes sense to me that east coast cars need to get on cross country trucks fairly soon. Up to a week for cross country trip and then delivery center prep time for the cars to be ready for customer delivery. My two cents. That being said, in a perfect world, I respect that cars should be delivered in the order they were ordered by customers.�
Dec 10, 2014
commasign That's scary. Mine also entered production on 11/21 and Jerome's email made it seem like an "any day now" situation.�

MarcG Like 95% of P85D orders reported on here including myself, you ordered the next-gen seats. Since these are apparently experiencing issues and henceforth delays, I am not surprised that delivery specialists are being given very conservative guidance as to when deliveries will take place.
That being said, I'm still surprised your DS is being so overly conservative/pessimistic given your car entered production on the first day reported here (and you're local) - so technically you should get some of the first Recaro seat fixes/replacements.
I'll keep you all posted on the progress of my delivery date with non-Recaro seats (still don't know what they assembled on mine, LOL...)�
