It showed up a day or so after the return period expired.

Harris was in lock down county wise when I got my packet. Options were to wait or mail in.

Anyone in Harris County do mail in registration/title? My status online says processed from last week, but I don’t know when Or how the plates will get to me. I’ve been on hold for 2 hrs (still going) trying to speak to someone. Nobody has responded to my emails.

Funded 5/29 picked up 6/18

Anyone know if the Tax Assessor/Collector offices are open? Harris County says they aren’t on the main page, but then on the page with the various offices it looks like the downtown office might be open?

I had 60 cents showing. But I don’t know if I was charged that on my card.

Correct. Except the dates are extended due to COVID.

congrats! Sounds like your car was in a bit better shape than mine! Enjoy!

Nothing that wasn’t fixable with a few adjustments and paint touch ups. I hate that I’m doing their QC, but that’s the risk with a new model.

Took delivery today at Houston North. Overall experience at the delivery center was good. The delivery guy was attentive and logged all of my issues. There were definitely alignment issues with panels in the front passenger corner and the rear driver side door. I had the rear tail light...

From what I gathered from the delivery folks, my car was sitting there for some reason. It could be that you made the cut on the first transporter and they needed another one for mine. In any event, I’m hopeful that there are no major issues. I can deal with a few scratches that can be easily...

Looks like your car beat mine here! I plan to send a email as well. At least the wait is almost over.

My understanding is yes. It’s the same as everywhere else. If you have a loan, you have to let you lender know the new vin, etc...

I’ll add she said that COVID is causing problems because they can’t find transporters, which is why the car sat in Arkansas so long. They apparently changed the process this year and used train transport for part of it.

Got a call from the delivery center. Car is leaving this evening and should be here tomorrow evening. So looking like Saturday, but she said if their inspection and detail go ok, it could be late Friday. I told her to take their time to inspect and I was fine picking up Monday. I mentioned...

Awesome and congratulations! Let us know how it went!

Mine has changed three times. Basically it’s a placeholder. The delivery center won’t give you an actual time until the car is on the transporter and has left the Arkansas rail depot. you can call the delivery center and ask for updates. But be prepared to wait for the car. The train is...

im just going to remind myself of the test drive and how much fun the car is. I at least don’t have the trade issue you have. If they don’t get an exception as part of the gigs factory bid for Texas, I’m going to pay cash for the next Tesla.

Called again today to see if the car has moved. No dice. Delivery guy said if he were a betting man that he’d say it would get there this weekend. I really wish they would let us close on financing/pay when the car gets to Arkansas. That way we aren’t paying interest and insurance for three...

71.

that’s good. That probably means my car is on the way as well. They have me slated for the 19th. If it’s on the transport, it should get here tomorrow.

Just got a call. Train just arrived. He thinks the cars will get unloaded today. Looks like it will get here within the next three days. So the appoint I have for tomorrow is no good. Hoping Wednesday or Thursday.

thanks! That’s what I expected but wanted to make sure!

I’m hopefully taking delivery of a MY this week (and my first ever Tesla). I know many people have been rejecting cars due to severe defects. I think that’s pretty straight forward process in states where Tesla can actually sell cars since the purchase price is paid at delivery. I live in...

the delivery team told me to ignore the date online and that they would call to verify the actual pickup time once they have the car in hand. I think the next batch of cars is supposed to get to Arkansas today (including mine). So it may be that we don’t pick up until later this week. That’s...

awesome! Did you have any paint issues?

That sucks! I have a missed call from Nevada so I’m hoping that’s not more bad news. I want them to take as much time as possible to check it over, so if they need the time I’m good with that.

I hope there aren’t too many issues as well. I’m expecting a ton based upon posts here and on reddit. I got an update today that they expect the car in Arkansas on Monday. So tack on a few days to get it to Houston and inspect. My date was changed online to Tuesday.

Just got an email from the delivery advisor. Looks like sometime next week. Three weeks of insurance and interest. I should have just flown to Fremont to pick it up and had it shipped here. Would have been quicker.

The frunk issue also showed up on Sandy Munro’s tear down. It has to do with the type of clip they use. He said it’s flimsy and would break easily during build. Should be an easy fix (new clips) but annoying that they did not catch it before delivery.

that stinks. I’m going to check in with them this afternoon. I hate the fact that Texas makes us fund before the car is even shipped. thanks for the heads up on the PPF. I’m doing the whole car since I want a matte finish. Good to know pricing is on par.

Fair. But I don’t know if they are good or if that’s market rate. I’ve never had to get ppf for a car, so I have no idea what it costs or who does a good job.

Anyone have a good recommendation for ppf installers? I called gulf coast and evs and both were over 5k for satin ppf, although gulf coast included ceramic.

I’m 98XX. A delivery advisor told me yesterday they are looking for a transporter to bring my car from the rail hub. So I guess that’s better than what I was told earlier that day by someone else that the car was on the train in Utah.

I think my car is on the same train. That’s the same update I got from them Friday. She seemed to think I’d be able to take delivery before Saturday. ‍♂️

I got my vin/mvpa on the 28th and funded on the 29th. Still waiting on the slow train from California. But delivery center person said I should have it this week.

I might do that. My tentative date is the 13th.

Drove it the other day. Wow is all I can say. Definitely going to need a radar detector, especially if the performance model has more performance that the base. The acceleration was comparable to my old BMW M4. And it turned on a dime.

It’s weird because I had the exact opposite experience. But to your point, the experience needs to be consistent (as does the QC). If you are going to have an online ordering model and not the traditional dealership model, then you need to make sure you are responsive to customers and that the...

My Alliant rep told me to email the signed loan docs to Tesla. Got confirmation of funding from Alliant Friday and then from Tesla rep Sunday. I’m tempted to go test drive the Y this week. Did you call them to setup the appointment? Or just show up?

Thank you everyone! Real excited to finally pick up my Y!

Is there a checklist somewhere of what we should look for. I have a tentative pickup date of the 13th, and I’ve never had to do a detailed inspection of a car before. Any advice on what to look for with panel gaps?

Logged into my account this morning and a delivery date was set (6/13). I didn’t pick it. It just showed up. Curious if anyone else has seen that happen. I got an email from the delivery manager in Houston saying the car is awaiting transport, but nothing about a date/time.

Thanks. I’m in Texas so I’m guessing it’s probably the same. Kind of disappointing because we have to fully fund before they will even ship the car here. So I’m paying for a car I don’t even have. Not Tesla’s fault. It’s the Texas legislature’s fault.

My delivery specialist said that if I add the tow hitch it would delay delivery, so I went without. She said you can add later. Got my VIN yesterday 2/2020 order date performance model.

So I confirmed my loan funded and the insurance info is updated, so now just waiting on Tesla. Anyone know how long after funding it takes to get the car?

Woke up this morning to a vin and MVPA, and two emails from my delivery advisor. I’m in Houston. White Performance with black interior and the upgrade package and no hitch. Just waiting on insurance. Vin is in the 9000’s

Just got my vin and mvpa. Since I’m in Texas, I have to fully fund first. Trying to hunt down my lender during covid is not going to be easy.

Could be supply issues with the supplier of the 20" and 21" rims. They probably burned through those before the shutdown in getting higher margin cars out.

My delivery advisor indicated that factory installed tow hitch would delay delivery by an unknown time frame. Seems like those orders are also being delivered now. I don't know if that's because my advisor was wrong or if they are just installing them at the delivery center before you take...
