    Tesla offering plaid upgrade for $15k and 2 month earlier delivery

    It seems the pricing is based on when you ordered and the pricing difference at the time. We took the deal and went from end of the year delivery to this Monday (less than two weeks from accepting the offer).

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    I'm not sure it would be representative. We ordered back in October, but it was a LR. They called a few weeks ago offering a Plaid before the end of the quarter and we took the deal. It would be winter at least before we would have taken delivery on our normal LR trajectory.

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    Updating for anyone searching through later. My delivery is scheduled for Monday the 29th in KC, so about a week after getting the notice it was in transit from Fremont.

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    Thanks! I only have the order agreement at the moment and it doesn't list a location. I'd hate to miss this VIN because we're out of town, but Tesla deliveries are what they are so we'll have to wait and see.

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    Got my VIN (358xxx) and completed my financing/insurance formalities this morning. Right after that I received the text this morning saying the car is moving from Fremont. I bought our M3P out of existing inventory, so I'm not familiar with the process. How long does it take for them to ship it...

    Tesla ideal Finance Term length

    What would you do with the money you're not applying toward your down payment or monthly payment? That is the most significant factor. If that money is going to work for you in the market or some other productive means, then it makes sense to finance over a longer term. If you're planning to use...

    Advice Needed: Convincing Husband to Go Tesla

    Progressive was about $100 per six months cheaper than USAA for the same coverage. YMMV as insurance rates are local and personal.

    Advice Needed: Convincing Husband to Go Tesla

    I used Geico prior to picking up my 3 and they quoted almost $400 per six months higher than Progressive. Definitely shop around and see who can give you the best rate.

    Worth it to upgrade from LR RWD to P3D?

    I pay less for insurance, with equal coverage, on my 2020 P3D+ than I did for my 2013 Leaf. Insurance is highly dependent on provider, location, and driver. Blanket statements on insurance rates are always misleading in my opinion.

    Worth it to upgrade from LR RWD to P3D?

    I'll follow up on my experience and provide my opinion on a few issues people have mentioned. Everyone is different and my young family absolutely loves the P. My two toddlers always demand "fast fast" when we get to a light and my wife, who has never in her life felt the need for speed in any...

    Worth it to upgrade from LR RWD to P3D?

    You'll get a lot of different opinions on here. Performance is something that everyone rates differently, but the fact that you're looking at going down the path gives some insight into the value you assign to it. I bought a performance and I've never driven an AWD or RWD, but I can't imagine...

    New cars coming with 2019.35.108 V10.1 ?

    Picked up 2/11 and updated to ...4.2 on 2/26.

    Did i go overboard ...

    I went in a similar but different direction. I ordered a standard white LR and then found a red Performance nearby in inventory and spent an extra $10k for shiny paint and face melts. Honestly I should have waited an extra few weeks for my LR delivery but the sheer fun of the Performance is...

    AP Question for NEW M3 owners

    For me it depends on hand placement. If I rest my hand at just either side of six o'clock on the bottom of the wheel I can more or less go indefinitely without getting buzzed. If I let off and don't properly rest my hand there it dings me every mile or so.

    AP Question for NEW M3 owners

    AP won't change lanes but you still get TACC for the lane change. For me the $7,500 savings more than makes up for having to take over steering, but not throttle, for lane changes on the highway. Once you get a feel for releasing AP with the turn signal it becomes really smooth to pop in and out...

    Advice Needed: Convincing Husband to Go Tesla

    There are a lot of people who will express their opinions in extreme on this forum in both directions. If you go into it with the mindset that the car is different, that it can do some things no other car can do, but also that it is just a car from a company who just started making cars in the...

    Mobile Service Confirmation?

    I just wanted to update for future searches. Tesla did the swap yesterday in the parking lot at my office. The mobile tech was done in under an hour and it was fully covered. The whole process was very smooth, but they did have to delay a week for the fascia to be in stock. It wasn't critical...

    Referral Code......is it too late?

    FYI my advisor added the referral code for me after I forgot on my late January order. I changed to an inventory vehicle and picked it up on 2/11. It took about a week but my 1000 miles came through after delivery.

    Mobile Service Confirmation?

    When I picked up the car at the KC service center they had a wall full of front pieces in all different colors just hanging out. That was another factor in my deciding to take the car with the scratch. I'm sure there are normal ebbs and flows in the stock around the country, but no one on this...

    Mobile Service Confirmation?

    I heard back from my advisor and she confirmed they did create a "due bill" for the bumper repair. It looks like it will be fixed. Hopefully it can be done by the mobile team as the advisor and tech said.

    Mobile Service Confirmation?

    I set up a mobile appointment. We'll see what happens.

    Mobile Service Confirmation?

    Based on other posts here it seems they remove the front fascia when installing the homelink kit, which is a mobile service item. I don't disagree there is a chance the delivery guy was blowing smoke, but I don't think you're right about the bumper. I wouldn't have agreed to the deal if I...

    Mobile Service Confirmation?

    I took delivery on 2/11 and there was a significant scratch on the underside of the front fascia. The delivery rep said he set up a mobile service call to have the front bumper swapped completely since they couldn't do the repair on the spot (I had to drive 350 miles home). Do you receive an...

    Let's talk software versions - stuck on 2019.35

    I'm in the same boat. I took delivery 2/11 and haven't received the update. Thanks for taking one for the team and asking the question!

    Newbie charging question

    I doubt the US codes are equivalent in Cambodia, but here you need a 60 amp service to use a 48 amp charger. Your electrician will know more about what is required locally, but that is a good margin for safety.

    Performance Waiting Room

    I picked mine up last night and drove it home 349 miles without premium connectivity. When I logged into my home wifi this morning before work (I didn't set it up late last night when I got home) it loaded premium connectivity effective for one year today.

    Performance Waiting Room

    Great timing! I'm going to KC to pick up my performance tomorrow and bring it back to OK. Your experience gives me hope that I won't be stranded in KC with a terrible paint job and chipped roof. :D

    Search for 5Y and you'll have better luck. It's the first two characters of all VINs. Then you just have to look for the 5Y with the VIN attached.

    Performance Waiting Room

    I was in the LR AWD waiting room but a center near me had a P3D in stock and I jumped on it! It's the most fiscally irresponsible decision I've made in years but bring on the speed! Now I just have to get the bank in gear so I can go pick it up this week. Keep an eye on EV-CPO if you're...

    Somehow changed to old stealth order?

    My hypothesis, based only on my personal motivations, is that the advisors may have the power to change your LR AWD order to the old stealth price since you initially ordered prior to the change in policy. Maybe they're allowed to write up orders for stealth models now that the process has...

    Somehow changed to old stealth order?

    Oh man good luck! I sent an email earlier to my advisor looking for a performance. If they can give me the old deal on a stealth I will lose my mind. Maybe we're grandfathered in at $2k?

    Rule of thumb for when to get financing quotes

    Check with your preferred lenders to verify their policy. The credit union I'm using, who does a lot of Tesla loans, said that only the rate and application expires in 30 days. They won't run my credit again unless it goes six months. There may not be any negative to starting the process now. If...

    Performance Waiting Room

    I also emailed my advisor and had him add the referral. Apparently his manager had to do it, but he and the reps on the phone acted like it was no big deal. I'm still waiting for my friend to confirm he can see the added order on his referral homepage.

    Anyone waiting for tonight's financials before pulling the trigger?

    I think there will be upgrades in 2020 but I'm sick of getting 60 miles a charge on the leaf so I'll take the risk now. If I had to bet I would expect pricing to stay more or less flat in 2020 (+/- 5%), but I'm sure new tech will be introduced. As you said, I asked if anyone was holding back...

    Anyone waiting for tonight's financials before pulling the trigger?

    Yeah I read that and almost cancelled my order and re-ordered. I don't know that the 1000 miles of charging is worth $100 though so I'll just roll the dice. It's my first time ordering and I didn't realize they make you use the link up front. I assumed I could punch it into the accounts page...

    Anyone waiting for tonight's financials before pulling the trigger?

    Well I placed my order anyway. I can always back out if something drastic happens. I forgot my referral code so hopefully they can add it. I called the 888 number and got the number for someone on the sales team. She said she'll add it if I call back Friday since my order hasn't made its way...
  42. Booma

    Anyone waiting for tonight's financials before pulling the trigger?

    Thanks for the positivity! :D I guess I could order it now and hedge. If I want to cancel and wait it's only $100.

    Anyone waiting for tonight's financials before pulling the trigger?

    I'm sure they won't announce anything that is going to change my plans. I think I'm just afraid to cross the Rubicon. I've been driving a Leaf for three years and as much as I want the Tesla it is hard to pry open my wallet and spend the $50k. I'm also hoping if I can delay long enough to get...

    Anyone waiting for tonight's financials before pulling the trigger?

    I've been ready to order a LR for the last few weeks but I want to see the forward guidance announcements tonight just in case I miss the boat on anything new. Am I crazy? Is anyone else waiting for news? I know trying to time the purchase for features is like trying to time the stock market...
