WOW! What a gorgeous shot!! The rear of the car looks somewhat matte in finish - Is it my illusion? It looks really nice!

It was the first time I toured a car factory. There's a good chance that I would be equally wowed touring other factories :D But you definitely HAVE to tour the Tesla factory! We picked up our car today from the detailing shop today. The technician pointed out several cosmetic issues that we...

Just wanted to circle back to report that our Fremont factory pickup went as well as could be. For anyone in the Bay area who is hesitant whether to do a factory pickup vs. store pickup, the factory pickup was pretty worthwhile for me! We didn't schedule a factory tour in advance, but was able...

We are in the same boat, @avesraggiana! Our car became available for pickup on Thursday, but my partner's work schedule prevented us from picking it up until Saturday. I admit I resented him a little bit for this :mad: But once I accepted that we cannot possibly move pickup day forward, I...

おめでとう　ちびくろちゃん！:) Thanks for the update. White is just the perfect color for Tesla!!! So happy to hear that the delivery was painless - this makes me feel more confident about our factory pickup this Saturday. Enjoy your new car!

@chibi_kurochan Please share your Fremont pickup experience & tips with us after you pick your baby! I hope the factory pickup experience won't be as bad as what others had reported ... Also, do you mind sharing where you're getting the PPF? We're in the area as well, and are debating whether...

Have you considered trading in your car to Tesla? We heard that Tesla would match Carmax's appraisal offer, so we got an appraisal from Carmax last weekend. I then asked if Tesla could match that offer, our DS said Tesla actually would offer us $500 more than the Carmax offer. I was like...

Our 60D (ordered 12/30) is still in production, but DS has emailed us today to schedule a tentative pickup at Fremont on March 18th. He said if the car is completed earlier, we can move to an earlier pickup date. :D :D

After seeing the CA folks' reports of their cars entering production yesterday, I was checking MyTesla multiple times per hour till midnight yesterday. Finally, this morning I saw that our 60D has entered production as well!!! Still have to finish the trade-in task, but we're sooooooooo ready to...

We placed our 60D order on 12/30 for March - Early April delivery. The delivery specialist just emailed us today saying that our car will most likely enter production next week. Looks like they're finally getting to the West Coast lower-end models! Hooray!!!

I talked to both Plastiq and Tesla finance later today, here's the update - To pay for your Tesla car purchase through Plastiq, use this payee link: tesla.plastiq.com (I believe there's a different link for Tesla lease payment). Someone at Tesla finance said it's okay to pay through Plastiq...

Unfortunately, Plastiq can only send checks to the payee, not to the payer. (It certainly would be easier for the payer if I can personally deliver the check to the payee.) I just called my local showroom, and the guy suggested me to contact our delivery specialist for any questions regarding...

Thanks for sharing your experience @bennettbb! Knowing that it has been done before is definitely reassuring. We also travel a lot, and having >150k points to redeem round trip international tickets do seem worthwhile for the small fees we pay. (Like you said, it's definitely not for everyone...

Curious if anyone has paid partial (or even full!) amount of your Tesla through a check sent by Plastiq? I plan to apply for a few credit cards to get some bonus mileage points, and since my Tesla delivery is coming up soon, I wonder if I can pay part of my Tesla (~$8000) through Plastiq...

Thanks for sharing this update! We ordered a 60D 4 days after you. Based on your DS's estimate, maybe we can expect delivery earlier than the original estimate of March-April. (fingers crossed!)
