Sorry that was me. By the time I got back from my joyriding and realized my mistake, the edit button has vanished 😅

I think in this and many other fields we’ll see a lot more human+AI solutions through the next decade or two before we’re made obsolete as a species 😅

Yea the front bumper one is missing which I find really odd tbh. Not sure why they’d skip out on that 🤷🏻‍♂️The ultra sonics do a decent job of telling you distance but I’d rather just see what’s there. Of course 20 years ago I would have parked my parents Toyota Previa minivan in tight spaces...

Congrats!! And lol at the Elon hate. I have no special love for billionaires but I’m always confused by the hate piled on him when *gestures at all the other CEOs who do horrible stuff, but quietly*. I doubt you’ll find any angels in automotive and oil industry execs 😅

“Where the f%*# is my car?!?” Lol just kidding. I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♂️

haha I like how 112 days is considered fast around here 😅 Have you called your local service center? I’ve found mine to be pretty friendly

What! That’s nuts! I’ve got a blue/white too and ordered a few days after you and just got my car. What is your SA saying about this?

Congrats! Mine had the tail light condensation as well, but it’s all gone today. My charge was only at 57% but I also kept pestering them to let me pick up the car a day early so that’s probably on me 😅

Yike. I’m grateful that I locked in the price $4k ago and that the rises are industry wide so my Highlanders value went up $8k over the same time period! Also noticed the white interior brings the delivery date down to May 🤷🏻‍♂️

You’re probably right. I still have some stuff to learn 😅

Overall I’m loving the car. The only nit so far is there’s no front facing camera for parking, so I can’t edge absurdly close in my garage if I need to. Finding this quite a bizarre omission, but there are tons of threads about it so I won’t whine too much 😅

What’s bizarre is that the “sticker” (which wasn’t in the window but was tucked next to the passenger seat) talks about ultra sonic sensors. Did they just not update the sticker or are there other sensors in the car? My guess is that they didn’t bother updating the sticker 🤣

Omg I’m so sorry ! It has the full on button BUT IT DOES NOTHING 🤦🏻‍♂️ @PatrickTM @aprapos @RyMY Sorry I remember earlier this year they were doing the buttons and just had a plastic piece covering. When I saw the button I figured they brought it back! I’m such a sucker 🤣😂

Mine didn’t 😢 but it did come with this flyer for a local ppf shop hidden in the visor But it does have passenger side lumbar support which I know disappeared for a month or so.

I’ve had one since I ordered to emailed me, but you can call the service center that your picking up from and they can help you as well.

Yup! I paid with a cashiers check. Just email your SA and let them know the amount you plan to pay with it.

Blooregard Q. Kazoo (aka Bloo) has arrived!!! Love the way he looks in the sun!! They called shortly after this and said I could come by anytime! The car was set for touchless delivery but I was paying by cashiers check so I needed to go in for a minute. They made it all too easy - super...

Called the service center and this time the rep tried to connect me to my usual SA instead of checking themselves which was odd. My SA wasn’t available but they said they’d have them reach out to me when they’re back at their desk 🤷🏻‍♂️ Oh well, I’ll just wait until tomorrow 😬

Yea the rep I spoke to this morning recommended not rushing those checks else I’ll find myself back in there waiting for a service appointment 😰I won’t be bothered if I have to wait another 15 hrs but I wouldn’t mind it earlier 😁

Drove by the service center on my way home this afternoon and I’m pretty sure I saw it in the lot, still wrapped in plastic 😁Will call tmrw morning to see if I can get it a day early and let this saga end already…

Chatted with Geico customer service and they were able to match the offer I had from progressive. It’s still $35 more every month, but it’s a Tesla and a new and more expensive car than I came from so 🤷🏻‍♂️

Called the service center and they said the car is still in transit but scheduled to arrive today. However the rep said he’d advise sticking to the Saturday delivery to make sure the team doesn’t rush through the predelivery inspections. Still hoping they call me tmrw though!

Just my guess! Definitely talk to Tesla first!

Thanks! Looks like the funds should be available in the morning so it probably won’t be an issue!

I’d say you’re better off taking delivery and driving it down there and selling it to them.

Does anyone know if I can easily increase the finance amount or is it going to hit my credit again? I’m realizing now that there’s a chance my check from CarMax won’t clear in time so I might need to put a smaller amount down and then pay off more later.

I wonder if they’ve got a waiting list for high demand cars that lets them sell immediately rather than list it?

My guess is CarMax has predictive models that take into account the global supply chain constraints and they foresee the market continuing to be nuts for longer than other players who’s models seem like they’ve been lagging behind. Vroom and Carvana have consistently given me values close to...

Definitely check! Tesla came in 7500 lower than CarMax for me ($5400 lower when you offset the 6% sale tax difference in MD). When I ordered in July, Tesla offered 33k while CarMax offered 35k, so at that point I thought I’d not bother with the difference. But, now Tesla’s offer was 34.9k while...

Yikes! Hoping something like this doesn’t happen to me. I just sold my car 😬

All set! $42.4K for a car I bought for $45.8k ($50k after tax and all the fees) almost 4 years and 20k miles ago. Absolutely wild. Was hoping to head to the bank but apparently they all close at 4 post-COVID 🤷🏻‍♂️

Alright - waiting for the appraisal at CarMax once again. Hopefully Toyota sent me the right lien release docs this time 😒

Called and they said the cars ETA to the service center is 10/22 and so I should call a little closer to see if it’ll make it there on time. Right now it’s still in transit to NJ and from there will be put on a carrier down here. The customer service rep was extremely nice and friendly!

Congrats! Did they call and offer an earlier pick up or did you call and ask if you could come earlier? I’m tempted to call and find out if I can pick up Thursday/Friday instead😅

Yea their offer has been consistently lower and CarMaxs valuation of my car has gone up 8k in the last 3 months. I just wanted to check once more. So I called and got them to push it through and the offer came in within a few minutes and it’s $7500 lower than CarMax ($5400 lower when you...

My VIN came in a week ago and my delivery date got scheduled for 10/23! The wait is almost over 😭

My trade in estimate hasn’t come in and it’s been almost a week since they asked for updated odometer photos. And my SA is out of office. Anyone know who I can contact? If they can’t come close to the CarMax offer then I’ll want to sell my car a few days early to give the check time to clear.

Lol wow Tysons from where you are must be at least an hour? Rockville is a service center which does all the pick ups around here. The show room is in Bethesda, at Montgomery Mall.

Thanks!! Just found this on the Tesla site:

Thanks! My SA is out of office until Thursday so I wasn’t certain.

Rockville - you?

Also, I’m financing part of it, and will sell my car to CarMax and pay the rest. How do they accept payment? I don’t see an option to enter bank information now that Tesla Financing is in there. Do I just being a personal check?

Will shop around a bit but will likely fall back to geico because they’ve been amazing in my experience so far.

Yike, checked with Geico for a quote and got on that’s 3x what I’m currently paying. I knew it’d go up but 🥵 My experience with Geico has been fantastic so I’m reluctant to change but damn.

Yup, you were right. Got my appoint set today for the 23rd!

Just got my delivery schedule notice! Selected the earliest possible time slot on 10/23!

Mine was 2021. I don’t think any 2022 VINs have been spotted yet.

No no. I’m not sure when exactly they pair you with VIN. I’m guessing it’s usually just before the car is shipped out. And I’m on the opposite side of the country. Based on the mega spread sheet it looks like VIN to delivery in my state takes 13-14 days.

It’s not here yet 😭 The EDD is 10/23-29. Haven’t received a delivery schedule yet.

Ehh I’m not a fan of wood trim. I only liked it in my current Highlander because it’s grey stained. Else I prefer the metallic panels.
