I should have driven somewhere outside of Austin.

Thank you Twiglett. I've been leaning towards Heritage.

Hahahahaha ... I lived and worked in NYC for awhile and then moved out to NJ for a bit. The NJ DMV is the worst! When in Austin, we live downtown so we don't have the hassle of traffic or a commute. The food in Austin is exceptional. I do also find the mix of downtown with all the biking and...

Sorry drdumont. I guess I was not clear about Austin. I was referring to the experience at the Austin tax office, not Austin in general. Overall, we have found Austin an absolutely amazing place to live. It has become one of our favorite places in the US, which is why we bought a place there in...

I believe there are at least a few. We are new to Austin (2019) and spent most of 2020 in our home in another state. I was in town basically to take delivery and get the car registered for Sep. I got the FedEx from Tesla on Sat and had just Mon before our flight on early Tue morning to take care...

Old thread, but now I think it is clear that this is a new Tesla Service Center option for Austin. If you look at scheduling service in the Tesla app starting in July, this location shows up. There is charging in place, but only for Tesla test drive vehicles. When I drove around the building a...

I've searched the forums and can't find info/recommendations on collision repair in Austin. Someone hit our parked -- brand new, not even registered -- MYP in a parking lot yesterday. Their is damage to the front bumper, hood and potentially to the fender. Two questions: Tesla Service Center...

Is this waiver still in effect? TL:DR -- I've been told that APD is enforcing and that tax offices are imposing both the 30 day and 60 late fees for taxes. We took delivery of our MYP on Sep 11 and received the FedEx from Tesla 10 days later with the required documents for registration. I...

We received a FedEx packet from Tesla about 10 days after week took delivery. Our delivery was Sep 11th. The packet has everything needed for registration, but getting an appointment at the Austin tax office (no walk ins allowed due to C19) seems impossible. There are zero appointments available...

I used Sunbusters in Austin for PPF, tint and ceramic. I primarily selected them for the quality of their PPF work, which was outstanding, but I also only wanted to deal with one shop so I used them for the ceramic.

Austin is just overwhelmed. There were no appointments all the way through Oct. I checked our temporary tag and it is not double-sided with a later date version on the back. It expires on Oct 4. I requested a temp tag extension through Tesla, but haven’t received it yet. It‘s such a widespread...

Where in Texas? Austin tax office was a sh*t show for me with 3.5 hours wasted and no registration/plates at the end of all of the hassle.

For us it took 10 days for the FedEx from Tesla to arrive with the required docs for registration. I tried to do the registration on my own through the Austin tax office. The in person registration during Covid is by appointment only here. There are NO appointments available ever. I tried to do...

It looks like there is a relatively new approach/option for paying taxes, registering and getting plates that Tesla is using in Texas called The Title Girl. I just received a FedEx from Tesla today with: Register your Tesla info card from the Tesla on how to use The Title Girl to register our...

It is a Texas specific regulation. No payment at delivery regardless of type.

I was told by Tesla that no payment in any form could be made at delivery. Technically, even the ACH transfer cannot be done "at pickup" but only before.

We've yet to receive the required paperwork from Tesla to go pay Texas sales tax and take care of the registration. How long does this typically take? Is there any way to do this without the packet from Tesla? We were only in town for delivery and I want to take care of the taxes and permanent...

Where are people getting the CCS adapter from?

VINs come and cars do get delivered! I liked it when people came back with pic updates, so here’s my last one in the thread. Just picked the car up today from having the following done: PPF — full front including a-pillars, side doors just below the body line down and the rear hatch lip and...

Yes, home delivery is a drop off. Our delivery changed to home with the delivery appointment, but I called the generic Tesla number and was insistent that it be changed back to delivery center pickup. They gave a bit of an argument, but with insistence they made the change. Delivery was still...

Delivery day 🥳 Car was flawless. The new Austin contactless delivery is a bit surreal. It is in a 3rd party (giant church) parking lot that today at 10am was a massive sea of various Tesla models. There’s no real indication where your delivery car is parked. We just drove through row after row...

Texas regulation does not allow Tesla to take payment at delivery whether that is a personal or cashiers/certified check.

Tesla has someone drive it. If you live FAR away from the delivery center they likely don’t offer home delivery, but if they do that is when they flat bed it. In Austin, the delivery center is not at the Tesla SC/showroom location at the Domain. It is a different address a bit more northwest at...

I still have my VIN; though I know there are examples in the forum of people that have had VINs assigned and then disappear. The SA and delivery advisors I've chatted with have been helpful. Apparently, there is quite a significant delay with a large shipment of Tesla's on their way from...

Tesla would keep it until delivery. There are plenty of examples of that in the forum. Tesla has the payment option show up very early on the manage account page and gladly takes payment from those willing to pay early. I don’t fault Tesla at all for doing what makes sense for revenue...

Even after having a VIN and confirmed delivery date, we continue to see our dates shift out. Musk commented this week that this quarter (this month) is likely to be the most challenging ever. Massive number of deliveries with major new production facilities (giga-Austin, giga-Berlin) not yet...

😒😒😒

👋 also Austin delivery! It may continue to bounce around. If not, there is not much flexibility on the delivery date. Tesla allows a few days, but definitely not much more. You always have the option to just put the order on hold; though that may result in even more of a delay than you want.

Thanks Jama. We are excited. I'd never test driven (or been) in a MY or M3 before. We ordered on July 4 and went for our first test drive late in July. Our SA was excellent in scheduling back-to-back test driving appointments for MYP, MYLR, M3LR and M3P. We were amazed! Climbing into my wife's...

Our delivery that was scheduled for Mon (Sep 6) at 10am was just pushed back by Tesla due to shipping delays to Sep 11. Tesla indicated that this transit delay is affecting a large number of Teslas. Our MYP is shipping from Fremont to Dallas by train and then on to Austin by truck. Have others...

In our case, our MYP is shipping from Fremont to Dallas by train and then from Dallas to Austin by truck. I received notice this morning by text from Tesla that shipping delays are affecting are large number of deliveries for Texas. Has anyone else with confirmed deliveries for Texas for next...

Has to be getting close -- good luck!

Yes, I agree. I’d also add that not only do buyers wait for a long time, but Tesla cannot (or at least does not) provide reasonably accurate EDDs. In our case, we’re taking delivery in a city (Austin) where we don’t spend time in the heat of the summer or even the fall. Since July 4 when we...

Thank you Obi-Wan! You were — with no other replies — my only hope! I could never get ahold of any SA in Austin, but I called Las Vegas (answered right away) and they not only changed it to a SC, but we’re able to move the delivery one day earlier.

That’s the sequence! With Texas, I was told transport takes 10 to 14 days in the usual case. For Austin (our delivery location), it goes first by train from Fremont to Dallas, then from Dallas to Austin by truck. I received a text message and also an email when I was within about a week of the...

The insurance doesn’t expire and the effective date can be changed quickly with a call or an email to your agent.

I think I was the earliest (July 4 order), but I finally did get a VIN and a delivery date. I'm sure your's is coming soon. I think you are right that they are now shifting to West Coast for delivery priority with the end of the quarter.

Yes, in Texas Tesla needs you to upload the full pdf for your Texas Insurance Card including with the VIN. Tesla cannot request temporary tags/registration for your car without it. I did ours with the effective date set as the start date for the EDD range. I did eventually get a text message...

What I know so far is that Tesla is able to get temporary tags and registration. In Texas, they must have your full insurance card and details including VIN (not just a declaration) before they can start the process of getting the temporary tags. If you're late uploading your insurance details...

Got it — that makes sense and is the same as every other state where I’ve purchased a car. Finalized insurance and uploaded the verification today. Excited to get the car in 1 week! Does anyone have any tips on how to get delivery switched back to the Tesla showroom/delivery center location...

So if I pay all cash with nothing financed, I owe no sales tax?! 😳

Thank you for the quick info. I guess I’ll have to deal with the in person then. 😉 Great to hear that alcohol can be sold on Sun starting Sep 1. Were the restrictions on alcohol service in restaurants before 10:30am also lifted? I like a good Bloody Mary with brunch and I like to eat early. 🤣

Thank you Ziggityzen. So can this be done online, or do you have to go to the county office for Texas vehicles? I experienced Texas DMV for the first time in Feb 2020 and it was OMG the worst of any state ever. I've done driver's license in NY, NJ, CA and UT and never experienced anything like...

For many (most, all?) markets Tesla seems to be defaulting/demanding home delivery. We don't want home delivery, but our's was changed to home delivery by Tesla. Have people successfully changed from these Tesla defaulted/mandated home deliveries to SC pickup? Any tips on the points to make to...

The MYP that we are taking delivery on Sep 7 will be our first car purchase in Texas. The Tesla order agreement is vague about taxes and government fees. It is clear that sales tax is not included. Since I placed the order on July 4 the site has just simply indicated that these "taxes and...

That does look amazing! What brand of ppf? We are considering doing a matte ppf wrap on our MSM.

Delivery confirmed For 9am Sep 7 🥳

Delivery scheduled for 9am Sep 7 🥳 Like many others this defaulted to home delivery with no other option.
