    Performance Waiting Room

    Yikes. The exact same thing happened to me. I found a P3D in Burlingame which would have qualified for free shipping to San Diego, but my SA thought I said Bellevue in Seattle. This actually ended up working out for me though, the Burlingame car was a demo car with 1k miles on it but the...

    Performance Waiting Room

    Didn't think I would get approved a second time around (extenuating circumstances). Truly isn't an issue, black was my original choice until the white became free. Like I said, my wife was a huge fan of the black even after it became a $750 up charge so we aren't disappointed. Would have loved...

    Performance Waiting Room

    I'm in San Diego as well. Ordered white/white P3D on 8/13. Never received the delay text, but the fact that people who had ordered weeks before I did were getting those texts, I opted to get an inventory Black/White P3D instead, found it in Seattle. The wife wanted a dark exterior anyway so it's...

    Performance Waiting Room

    I had originally ordered a white/white performance, but I got spooked when everyone received those text messages. We just recently moved into a new place and had to furnish it so our Amex reported that balance and dropped our score by 30 points. Out of fear that we wouldn't get approved a second...

    Delivery Estimates

    I'm not asking when I'll receive mine, like I said, it's a supplement to my wife and I's two cars we already own. Mostly a curiosity as to where the disparity in estimate and delivery comes from.

    Delivery Estimates

    I ordered a P3D White/White on 8/13. The car will come when it comes, I’m in no real rush, luckily it will be our third car. This isn’t a complaint about the time it takes to deliver as much as an observation about delivery times. I’m curious why they even bother with the 2-3 week estimate? Do...

    First Tesla Order

    Was it an inventory model or did they build it?

    Lease Approval?

    I opted out of FSD. I figure that Tesla is generally behind or slightly behind on delivery of tech advances that they promise. But outside of that, I don't want a $6k add-on that legislation will need to catch up to. It also only truly works on the highway. I loved it when I test drove the car...

    Lease Approval?

    Can't say for sure. I have heard that in some instances of those being self-employed that banks have asked for two years of tax returns to verify income. They want to see that your business has been stable.

    Lease Approval?

    Yeah I had no issues getting approved for a loan and the P3D was $30k more expensive than my Grand Cherokee lease. So I don't see how you'd have an issue given your auto history. Good luck! What specs are you looking at?

    Lease Approval?

    I haven't yet seen if Tesla pulls FICO Auto 9 for leases, if they do, then your credit score is probably much higher. My FICO score is 730-740 Experian but my FA9 was 780-790. As long as you've had a lease that costs at or near the same, you should be fine. No different than getting any other car.

    Performance Waiting Room

    I did what Brnn suggested. I calculated my final out the door price and received a loan based on that, they didn't need the VIN to approve it. But from what I understand, you don't need insurance until the day you take delivery of the car so you have time to situate that. I've seen that you can...

    Performance Waiting Room

    I don't want to misinform so take this with a grain of salt, but my SR told me that I wouldn't enter the queue until everything was taken care of and checked off the list. Could definitely be wrong! I would call your SR and see what they tell you about that.

    Did you find a white/white in inventory?

    Having trouble getting a loan due to short credit history

    If $57k+ really only is a few months salary for you, then I’d suggest saving 20% of the purchase price as a down payment. Most CUs want to see at least 10% if you have no credit history (like someone said before, they want to reduce risk), but I’m confused, you say this is your second P3D? Did...

    White on White Interior Waiting is pain

    2 ways: My tesla rep told me that after pearl became standard that they saw a massive uptick in white orders, and warned me that white specifically would take longer to produce than any other color. Anecdotally: There’s a thread with a google sheet of configurations with dates of order, vin...

    Just ordered a Performance

    I won’t give specifics on my numbers but after 3 years at 40% depreciation, I have at least $5k positive equity in the car to put toward a new one should I choose. After 3 years and only being allowed to drive 10k miles, he will have spent ~$28k on a rental car. I don’t tell people how to spend...

    Just ordered a Performance

    Would rather lease this than any other car that’s for sure! Just wish their lease terms were better. That’s why the wife and I decided to purchase instead. No buy-out option was a huge bummer. Justified the nearly extra $200/mo to purchase by reminding ourselves we’d easily be saving that in gas...

    Just ordered a Performance

    Where are you located? I was told by every Tesla rep that I spoke with that buying out at the end of the lease is not an option. They are taking back those cars to fill out their self-driving fleet. Would explain why the lease terms are so terrible. KBB rates the M3 to hold 70% value over 36...

    Delivery Contact Problems

    Quoting what I read from someone else in this forum: Tesla’s human resources department is lacking in the “human” aspect of HR. They are notorious for not answering phone calls, emails, etc.

    White on White Interior Waiting is pain

    You and everyone else in the US lol. I've heard that white/white P3D A long time. I also ordered white/white on the 13th. Apparently we still have people waiting from mid-July for white/white VINs in almost every configuration. I’d suggest doing what I’m doing, back of mind until I receive my...

    First Tesla Order

    Yeah it seems that I might be having a completely opposite experience than everyone else. Lol. Not only was the financing through Tesla (US Bank) the lowest interest rate I found, Tesla also offered me $1500 more than Carmax for my trade-in.

    Performance Waiting Room

    Exactly the same that I ordered 8/13. Everything I've heard leads me to believe that the prices are always locked in when you order it.

    First Tesla Order

    Hey everyone, new to the forum, was hoping that some of you who’ve gone through or are going through the process can help me out. Yesterday ordered a performance white/white, which I’m seeing be often referred to as a “unicorn”. What can I expect for wait time? Advisor said within 3 weeks. Has...
