What actually happened
Delivered, and slightly early. Tesla handed the first customer Model S sedans to buyers — including earliest depositor Steve Jurvetson — at a Fremont factory event on June 22, 2012, beating the 'no later than July' commitment by more than a month. One of the few clean timeline wins of the early Tesla era. Green Car Reports — First 2012 Tesla Model S delivered to earliest depositor Steve Jurvetson ↗

Status: Delivered · on time. It happened.
On the Model X reveal stage in February 2012, Musk promised Model S deliveries would begin no later than July 2012. Tesla delivered the first customer cars on June 22, 2012 at the Fremont factory. A genuine early win — the same event also produced the Model X timeline that slipped by almost two years.
