    70D stuck in production?

    For some unknown reason, cars seem to revert to in queue after production and before in transit. At least, ours did. Don't panic.

    Got my VIN - quick question

    You shouldn't have to worry about insurance now. Wait until you are closer to your delivery date. Whatever you have us usually covered u till you have the information to give them.

    Got my VIN - quick question

    Yes I think that is normal. I don't think I got an email either. I followed most of the progress on the My Tesla page. Everything came together in the end. The biggest hurdle was getting a title from the lender so we could sell our Cadillac. The Tesla rep even called the lender for us! More than...

    Got my VIN - quick question

    There were two Ocean Blue cars being prepped when we went in today for our orientation and delivery. It's a pretty blue but very similar to our daughter's SRX. The dark (discontinued) blue is very elegant and looks gorgeous with the tan leather. I am very happy with our choice. An amazing car!

    Got my VIN - quick question

    Don't panic. That happened to us. We ordered the discontinued Dark Blue "off menu." Until it was updated by Fremont, the color displayed as Midnight Silver. Check with your Sales Associate to make sure. We are picking up our Dark Blue 70D today, 41 days after confirmation.

    Your DS: how much info did you get?

    Trading in your ICE

    A bit of a lowball compared to the Cadillac dealer here in Suburban Chicago for an XTS Premium. with 16000 miles on it. $30,500 vs $32,000. But not bough to worry about. The tax savings and reduced aggravation should even it out. We are satisfied with the service.

    Your DS: how much info did you get?

    Our DS in Chicago has been terrific. We are trading in a Cadillac and he was on the case from beginning to end. We have heard from him throughout and he has been very responsive throughout production and delivery.

    70D 86327 went into production today, 5/13. Confirmed on 4/24. Delivery says June - but maybe sooner to Chicago. Dark Metallic Blue (old color) w tan leather. Should be gorgeous. We are very excited. Our SA and DS experience has been excellent so far.

    What were the chances I'd be there then?

    Oh wow! What a great story and wonderful pictures too. What does your car's name mean, if I may ask?
