    If I cancel MX order, do I have to pay for the "Transportation Fee"?

    @ithinkmac I would agree. Problem is, now I receive zero response and this affect my financing process. So I just went ahead and cancelled the order. Maybe in the future Tesla sales, financing and order processes will get better.

    Very bad experiences in the ordering process. TLDR: no response whatsoever from Tesla Sales Advisor and Finance team.

    No, I have not paid the transport fee. I don't even have a VIN yet.

    Ah, got it. Yeah, there is no explanation on the website on what the “transportation fee” is all about. Anyone that cancelled their Tesla order can chime in? Would like to confirm before I cancel.

    [Oct 2020] Are you required to submit finance application within 72 hours of placing an order?

    US Bank. 2.49% APR. What's interesting though: I got alert from my credit monitoring tools that a bunch of banks ran my credit in addition to US Bank --> WFB, Chase, Harris bank, etc. So I asked Tesla Finance if other banks can give below 2.49% given my credit (High FICO Auto 8 score).

    [Oct 2020] Are you required to submit finance application within 72 hours of placing an order?

    Just did. The reason I applied early (30+ days) was because Tesla website said this: Loan approvals are valid for up to 60 days. Lease approvals are valid for up to 90 days. I thought Tesla have some sort of relationship with the banks to allow 60 days approval. With ICE cars from past...

    In case you couldn’t find anyone, you can get a Tasker from Taskrabbit, pay them less than $100 to help you inspect the car. An extra pair of eyes is always helpful. ;)

    Blog Tesla Software Update Improves Speed Limit Sign Detection

    I don't have my MX yet, but can you disable the Speed Assist feature? FWIW, I disabled this feature in my non-Tesla car (Mercedes) because most drivers in SF Bay Area rarely drive on the freeway at the speed limit.

    [Oct 2020] Are you required to submit finance application within 72 hours of placing an order?

    Ah, I did not know that. However, the timing is what confused me. Let me elaborate: 1). My delivery will be in 1st week of December (this is more than 30 days from October) 2). I plan to apply with Tesla and other banks in November. If say I get approval for lower rate with non-Tesla bank, I...
