I ordered my Model 3 1/28/2021, but have been amazed at the information vacuum from Tesla and dealership since ordering and noticed this is not an uncommon occurrence per postings. My prior experience in ordering a car was with BMW for a MiniCooper, I received regular updates (order accepted by Germany production, car in production, car on ship to US, car arrived in US, etc.). Does anyone know why...<br />

<br />
So pardon me if this is an old timer question, but I&#039;ve been through the dealership purchasing process in the past and with typical auto dealers, they make a fair amount of money when you finance the car through them. One frequent scheme if you prefer to pay cash for your car is to finance your car with the dealership, cut a deal with them on the price of the car and then pay the loan off shortly after taking delivery. The general idea is that the dealer is more likely to give you...<br />
