Good to see a service center in Seattle again. I had thought it would be interesting if they took over the now empty Nissan Dealership since it more or less fits the Tesla look and already had some charging infrastructure.

Local Tesla Rep called me about it before it even hit Electrek/Reddit - unfortunately I have decided to delay purchasing a few months after re-evaluating priorities. Makes more sense to settle student loans than splurge on a Tesla right now.

Hopefully the link will work, but this PDF has a guide for calculating the tab fee. Other than tab fee and taxes it would just be the $1200 destination+documentation fee that Tesla charges., but does not include in the configurator. https://www.dol.wa.gov/vehicleregistration/docs/VehicleFees.pdf

I would say that @AlanB_MX is partially correct. My personal experience has been that Tesla still has means of hiding cars from the inventory aggregators. Showroom/demonstrator cars are technically inventory cars, but Tesla has some internal flag or other means that prevents aggregators (or at...

I'm also curious to see if they'll roll out some incentives. EV-CPO was consistently showing ~30 Model 3s available for immediate delivery for a few weeks, then suddenly it's increased 10x to ~300 Model 3s available. Their system does a good job of hiding the demo/test drive cars now, I had been...

It seems to be very much a 'your mileage may vary' situation. I have heard both yes and no from different people at Tesla regarding the removal of FSD from new and used vehicles.

@OCR1 - I’m not surprised, but it’s really a bit unfortunate. I’ve actually been in contact with this particular Advisor for at least a year and have even expressed interest in spending the extra to get the LR AWD vs the SR+ as originally planned. Business must just be that good.

Thanks @Watts_Up! A bit unfortunate to hear. I’ve been in contact with this particular advisor for at least a year, but they don’t seem to think that I’ve shifted from passive to serious on purchasing. I guess I’ll just have to wait a couple more weeks and see if the end of year rush yields any...

Bumping this thread - curious if any of the previous posters have Advisor contacts that they're willing to share. I'm potentially interested in taking delivery of a demonstrator/showroom vehicle, but the Advisor I have been working with doesn't seem inclined to look and see what might be...

Has anyone here worked with an Advisor that they really liked and had a good experience with? I know that at least one of you will come here to comment about EV-CPO - I am aware of it and it is a helpful resource, but I know that it does not show all inventory vehicles. I am hoping to be...

I definitely agree with you on the switch to USB-C - most of my cables and accessories are not USB and it’s a bit of an annoyance. I’m not quite ready to commit to re-purchasing things I already own.

Despite wanting to get into a Model 3, I don’t need one. I’ve set the expectation of what would move me to purchase one with the Advisor I stay in touch with and maybe they’ll call me if something comes up. There is a White on Black LR AWD demo that is getting very close to the right price, but...

My insurance agent must be in the market for a Tesla - I inquired about a quote yesterday and they asked if I had heard of any EoQ/EoY incentives.

I'm not a fan of it, but I'm currently enrolled in one - the discount was much bigger with Allstate than the current one with State Farm.

Thank you to all of you for taking the time to respond! I’m relieved to hear that the experience has been quoted vs actual is fairly consistent instead of ‘bait and switch’. I generally do a comprehensive insurance re-quote once a year through an insurance broker and then requesting quotes from...
