Grand Touring Tracker (Archive)

Can you PM me the name of your DA? That has not been my experience to date. Got no updates with the first one. I had to inquire what was going on. With the one they reassigned me to, he said he would email me his contact information and that was 5 days ago now. Crickets…..


i am going to have to arrange for a notary? They don’t use DocuSign? Thought they were more advanced being in Silicon Valley.

My contract came in my email and I used docusign???

Yes, and I received VIN assignment today.

Excellent - please provide @mnewber1 details so we can learn the timing. This board is helping a great number of people

Just 5 days after VIN assessment, I received this email from my DA saying that my AirGT is preparing to leave the factory to the pre-delivery center in Scottsdale. Faster than I would have thought!View attachment 1515

Question how long was your car In Scottsdale before you could take delivery and when Did you receive your car?

I believe their car left factory today and has not gotten to Scottsdale yet, and has not been delivered yet.

For those who've placed a deposit on a GT with 20" wheels, just had a first conversation with my DA today - he said wheels will be available in July, car would exit production Aug-Sep.

Wonder how this will effect Touring production.

Glad I went with the 21s. Could not wait till August. They said 2nd quarter for the 20s originally. Who knows if August is even realistic.

Taking Delivery on Wed at 2pm

That was my point in another thread About the production issues. I don’t expect the Tourings to be ready until Aug, but likely September at the earliest.

I wonder if the 20" wheel delay will cause them to delay confirming Tourings since they come standard.

Another entry for the tracker (hopefully this is the right place to provide the info):

Air Grand Touring
White/Mojave
Pre-ordered: 11/6/21
Confirmed: 12/14/21
VIN assigned: 3/10/22
Car completed assembly and moved to Chicago for QA: approx. 3/28/22
Home delivery to Minneapolis, MN: 4/9/22

While I patiently wait for my VIN Assignment I am happy to her you only had 1 month from your VIN to delivery. I am also doing Home Delivery, but in Dallas area Was the person(s) who delivered your car to your home able to do a good job of showing you all the features etc.? Did they accompany you on a brief drive? Did they walk you through the app? Go to a charger to assure functionality?

Thanks for the feedback.

He was delivering another one the next day, so I know there are at least two!

I had a very good experience throughout the entire process. My DA got me regular updates, and things more or less happened when he said they would. Hand off to the delivery person (called an SA?) was smooth. All of the registration paperwork showed up about a week before delivery and included a Fedex envelope to send everything back to them (just needed a couple notarized signatures).

Car arrived by trailer and took maybe 15 minutes or so to unload. The Lucid guy took a lot of pictures and supervised the unloading-- this was purely for use with the shipper and to ensure there was no damage during shipping, etc.

It seemed to me that the SA would have spent as little or as much time going over things as I wanted. He went through getting everything set up: fobs added, phone added, home link, facial recognition, profile, etc. Everything worked first try, but you could tell he was ready for some things not to set up easily (he mentioned Homelink seemed to be having problems). I had read up on most everything, so really did not need a lot of introduction. We talked a little about after-sale support such as how service would work, etc. He gave me his cell phone number and encouraged me to reach out to him directly if I needed anything.

My first 100 miles impression is the car is great-- feels like a step up from my previous Model S(s). The software and UI is pretty janky and needs a lot of work, but I was prepared for that. In general, it seems like they have no real UI strategy for how to use the screens. The pilot screen barely has anything on it, buttons on the left side are things I would rarely use, switching between navigation and audio is almost impossible, etc. Locking/unlocking is also currently pretty subpar. I fully expect all of these things to steadily improve over time, and they are not lessening my enjoyment (yet). The most important thing is that the driving part of the car feels flawless. Really heavy regenerative breaking (which I really like), way better handing than the Model S, tons of power, overall tight/quiet feel. Feels sportier than I anticipated.

Just sent you some questions...then came upon this post where you covered things. Thank you!

Going through Missouri, likely heading to Chicago

I wonder how much has to do with final inspection or customers lagging in getting their cars

Mine shipped last Monday, haven’t heard anything since, so I suspect final inspection is a bottleneck.

Something interesting to note on the silver cars. I have a friend that has a light silver Tesla. However, Tesla has since discontinued the light silver (they have a midnight silver that is more of a grey) because they were having so many issues with the silver paint.

The pre-production GT at the NYC studio is the cosmos silver color, it looks outstanding, almost diamond like sparkle to it. Never seen a better silver on a car, not kidding. So they know how to make it, but it must be very challenging I guess.

I wonder with this issue will they even let me buy a set to use for my second set? After, hitting the potholes on campus fearing getting the 21"

I was told that the pre-production models were hand built.
