Yes, Trisha it is good for me, and good for whomever gets my prior delivery appointment. I could’ve just gotten lucky or maybe the delivery scheduler just matched me to a vin earlier because I didn’t call and needlessly pester them just to check in every week like you claim to have done...

I had contacted him about updating my insurance info. When he got back to me, this time it was the next day, he let me know that I had a VIN. Then about an hour later he texted me that my car had finished production that morning and asked if I wanted to take delivery this weekend instead of...

My DSA emailed today to get back to me about updating my insurance info. He said all is good and that I have a VIN 97XXX Pick up on 9/23 stoked!

In response to a request for timeframe on VIN assignment, my delivery scheduling advisor told me that Tesla is changing the way they assign VINs to where they schedule delivery first then assign a VIN much closer to delivery. If you don’t need a VIN for financing or insurance, just be patient...

I think I might have already had equifax unlocked...

I don’t think that they will at all. They didn’t require proof of income for the Tesla loan when we went to pick up our initial RWD order. (Which we ended up rejecting anyways)

They will contact you and let you know exactly which ones need to be unlocked. For me it was Transunion and Experian did not cause any delays.

I have tried it on a model S, the car slowed WAY down and drove like a granny when it approached a sharp 180 hairpin turn after the exit. The only way I was able to take an exit was when the Lane feeds into the exit and you have enough time for the auto lane change to change into the exit...

You could actually end up getting it sooner. Total crap shoot though, so I wouldn’t base your decision on the possibility of delaying or expediting your delivery. Order what you want. Yes FSD and EAP can be added later, but they will cost more after delivery. In my opinion FSD and EAP are much...

You can pull your own permit (it’s like $200 here) with the city or county planning department (depending on if you live in city limits or unincorporated part of county) then after the work is done you schedule an inspection. They come out inspect the work and issue the permit. The main benefit...

If your paying an electrician. Just keep the invoice for liability. From an insurance perspective nothing negligent about hiring an electrician to install a 240v run to your panel. I would think that most people would NOT get a permit for something as simple as that. Technically your supposed to...

For carrying kids get the model X if you can. It’s great for kids. I got to try one out for a while with the six seat setup. No issues with car seats, easy to load kids. Plus the “cool” factor of the falcon wing doors. If I were replacing my Toyota Sienna minivan with a tesla it would have to be...

I plan to leave it off and install it only to correct a “fix it ticket” then I would remove it again.

If you don’t order the P AWD then I don’t believe you can add the PUP. If you were to order a RWD today then you could likely take delivery before the end of the year. If you wait for SR then (and rightfully so) reservation holders would be able to order and be taking delivery before you. So I...

I can confirm that I have seen somebody add EAP at the time of delivery in freemont. It did delay their delivery by about an hour and a half. I’m not sure if they were able to change the financing or paid with a credit card. However, they paid it was settled that day and they were still able to...
