After 1,497 days (4 years, 1 month and 5 days), I took delivery of my Double Forest R1S today at the factory.
Lucas picked me up at the airport and gave me an incredible tour of the factory. The delivery experience was incredible. No issues.
I have been waiting 1,486 days and today I received my VIN. I am happily surprised that it is a 2023. LE FG FE 22 Bright, No Underbody.
Also, the last of the VIN is 00022X, so they seem to have started over with the new year (unlike Tesla).
I am a November 2018 reservation holder and recently totaled my Model X, so I am without a car (first time since the Army many moons ago).
I am curious who else is a 2018 R1S reservation holder that has not yet taken delivery?
I spent many years in production and logistics and their batching...

I am an optimist so I counted down to June 1st. Pessimists should add 30 days. Skeptics should add more than 30 days. I have an early R1S reservation, so I am hopeful for August 1st.

It will be interesting to see the Drag Coefficient and Energy consumption for the R1S when the official figures are released. In the meantime, it is interesting to speculate using the available data and comparable vehicles.

I have both a six seater and a seven seater Model X. By far, I prefer the six seater for usability, access to the third row and access for my 105lb Goldendoodle.
I used to have a six seat Navigator and loved that as well.
I am curious to see if, that given the option, people would prefer six...
