Could be! Tesla's are like Honda Civics in the Bay Area... they're everywhere. At some point, you lose out on a big pool of potential customers if you aren't competitive with your rates in such a Tesla-saturated market.

I feel you! Got a VIN yesterday morning, followed by a text asking me to pick up same day in Fremont, even though I needed to arrange financing. Told it would take a week or two to send to the Tesla store near my house. Got a text this morning saying it's there already and they wanted to...

I'm in CA too. Thought I'd share what I've learned in the last couple of hours, in case it's helpful. I have checked with AAA, Mercury, Tesla Insurance, Allstate and Progressive so far. We have 3 other vehicles with AAA, which may have factored into the rate. I did not include our other vehicles...

I'm in the East Bay. Just got my VIN yesterday. OD was 10/31 though, so not sure if that helped us get a VIN before quarter end. Our VIN is 172XXX, so I don't think it's a reject either.

More 🌪️ time! Since we couldn't get financing arranged by yesterday, we worked it out with Fremont to have them ship the car 20 miles away to the Tesla store near our house. They told us this might delay it a week or two. This morning I got a barrage of texts... They must already have my car...

Honestly, I haven't spent any more time negotiating a great deal on a car than I have trying to buy this Tesla (especially over the last 24-ish hours, which has been a bit of a whirlwind). :)

The funny thing is (and I know I'm very much the exception), I actually love the negotiation part of buying a car. I'm really good at it and have put a lot of research into how to play the game. I've purchased 3 cars and 2 RVs, and walked away with killer deals on each. It's a very satisfying...

It's been 99 days since we ordered. It's been a loooooong, slow wait. Got my VIN today, and suddenly it was like 🔥🚒🧨🤯💣🤡🌪️💥😤🤪 That set off a scramble to figure out financing (which has been its own adventure so far, even though we've never had trouble with financing anything). We applied with...

I went from getting a VIN this morning, to getting a text like an hour later that I can pick up my car today! Except I'm not ready... I had selected cash, so I need to get financing lined up (already submitted the application to Tesla and our credit union, the latter of which has better rates...

For what it's worth, we got the trade in text on 1/20. Said "no". Got our VIN on 2/7.

We got a VIN this morning!!! 172XXX. Maybe filling my gas tank on Friday did work! M3LR, MSM, Black, 18", no FSD, Picking up in Fremont, CA OD: 10/31 EDD1: 12/21-12/31 EDD2: 1/5-2/2 Hold from 12/16-1/5 EDD3: 3/9-3/31 EDD4: 1/28-2/25 EDD5: 2/4-2/18 EDD6: 2/7-2/18 VIN & Vision: 2/7 EDD7: 2/9-2/13

Welp... Filling my gas tank didn't work as well as I had hoped... No VIN. But I got another EDD update this morning. Now it's 2/7-2/18. Narrowed by 3 days. Seems some other Bay Area folks got similar yesterday. Maybe a President's Day weekend delivery push?

Updated this morning to a 2 week window! M3LR, MSM, Black, 18", no FSD Picking up in Fremont, CA OD: 10/31 EDD1: 12/21-12/31 I had a delay in finishing the registration tasks because of an issue on Tesla's end. But I also hadn't filled out the payment section and got a text on 11/13 asking me...

Just got the trade-in text, so I think we're getting close! I also noticed a couple of days ago that I can see the scheduling/insurance/final payment section in the app, although I can't actually click anything (the scheduling card said "we're building your car"). I didn't have access to that...
