That's weird. I'm in a slightly different situation because I did a home delivery, which I think means that my purchase location and registration location are the same (and both outside of the RTA zone). I was told by Tesla support that their internal DMV team had concluded that I should not...

Yeah, I figure it will take some following up...but at least I have it in writing from them that they know it needs to be refunded. We'll see how it goes :)

Small update - after a bit of back and forth, I finally got an email from my delivery adviser (first email ever!! never heard from him prior to delivery) and he was able to check with the relevant team to confirm that I should NOT have been charged RTA tax. He said that once the registration is...

Ah! I had already ordered and installed a center console wrap from Abstract Ocean and it went great. Didn't even think to check back on their site for the lights (doh). Thanks - it looks like they are definitely more affordable than the RPM Tesla offering (especially with the i1Tesla discount code)

I saw that the RPM Tesla website has some replacement ambient lighting options (in red/blue/purple colors) for the Model 3...but at $65 (or even $55 with the current discount) they seem quite overpriced for a led bulb. Has anyone purchased any good alternatives to the RPM Tesla offering?

I'm glad that it seems no-one here missed the 2018 delivery cut off. I did see folks on Twitter who ordered back in October and who did not receive their cars before EOY. Delivery location was Hawaii, so there were probably some unique challenges, but it will be interesting to see how the few...

Yes! I got a call from the store about 30 mins before my delivery window ended just to let me know that they were on their way. Delivery was very smooth, didn't feel rushed, and to my relief the car looks absolutely flawless :):):) Very happy and everyone I worked with at the Bellevue WA store...

oh oh oh!!!! The app just changed, literally 10 mins before my delivery window starts! I no longer see the "welcome to the family" splash screen" and I now see the full app, but all of the controls are disabled and it says "Mobile Access Disabled". I guess that's how they deal with home...

Makes sense. I was also wondering it was related to home deliveries which are being driven from a local store to the persons home (rather than delivered on a truck). Maybe the delivery person has some remote way to activate the car etc, but I was assuming it was activated at the store and then...

Oh weird...I've seen a whole bunch of YouTube videos of home deliveries and people saying on FB groups that they were able to actually see and track their car to their house using the app on the day of delivery! Thought that was the norm...

My nerves are shot. Home delivery appointment is 2 hours away with no room for error (non-refundable flights tomorrow AM) and the car hasn't shown up active on the Tesla app yet :)

Whoa..I actually got an email from Tesla today to confirm 29th delivery between 4 and 6pm in Seattle. First proactive communication i've received throughout the entire process! Update: And another email, not auto-generated this time, from an actual delivery advisor! My first indication that...

Congrats! Bellevue store? What was your order date and can you let us know the steps you went through? i.e. when did they tell you a deliver date, how long before did the call/text to confirm, what happened on the morning of the delivery etc? I'm just trying to make sure that nothing out of the...

Thanks for the responses. I've already been charged the RTA fee as I am not financing and had to pay for the car prior to delivery ( the final paperwork in my account had the $583 RTA tax included). I'm taking delivery at home, so I will be sure to mention it when the delivery takes place and...

Was it easy? and did they handle it entirely in the store or did you have to run around to Store/DMV/notary etc to get this all done? I'm planning for the worst on my end, and hoping for the best ;)
