    Texas Model Ys

    You likely won't be able to get far in financing until you have a VIN assigned, and should be careful not to get qualified for a loan (i.e., have a credit check pulled) too early, as those usually expire within 30-60 days depending on lender (and you might have to get qualified again, and have a...

    Texas Model Ys

    Welp, I suppose my second scheduled delivery appointment for tomorrow afternoon isn't going to happen either - Tesla site has now lost my VIN and delivery date, and reverted back to the 'We will reach out to schedule your delivery date' verbiage. They tried to lower expectations when I asked...

    Texas Model Ys

    I wasn't aware that you could use Tesla-provided financing in TX at all - I thought you always had to arrange your own (which I did with CUTX for my Model 3, and PFCU for the Y). Both were fairly responsive in my case.

    Texas Model Ys

    I did not choose Plano, it got assigned that way - but I'm about the same distance from either, so didn't bother asking if it could be changed. Picked up my 3 from Cedar Springs location, but have had it serviced at both locations. The 'positive' side of the delay is that I've been...

    Texas Model Ys

    So I've been waiting for my white on white since I ordered on day 1 (3/14/19). After obsessively refreshing the site daily, I found my VIN on 7/6/20 (which I later learned was also my vehicle's 'born on' date according to delivery advisor). Turned around funding as quickly as I could, between...

    Texas Hold Up!

    Come on North Texas deliveries.... keep comin' in :) (and everywhere else in TX too - have been lurking and watching the painful waits with sympathy... for those still waiting, the car is absolutely worth it, and yes Tesla absolutely needs to get their act together as they continue scaling -...

    General Discussion: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    Oh don’t worry - test drives of the car WILL change the game for the salaried bears; just give it more time and they will be unemployed ;)

    Blog Musk Says Tesla May Prefer Its Tented Assembly Line

    In case folks missed this great GA4 insight from @Sparky: General Discussion: 2018 Investor Roundtable Sounds like the tent may also afford more rapid/effective experimentation and iteration. Perhaps it’s a model for line R&D....

    General Discussion: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    I agree with the ‘take the high road’ / ‘let the facts play out’ pleas to avoid getting carried away with conspiracy theories. However, I also think that it’s important to know/understand your opponents. If you haven’t, please read this thread (and particularly the excerpt from Taibbi’s The...

    General Discussion: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    No - I’m afraid I made my holdings and gains way more dramatic sounding than necessary - this is just in a RobinHood account :). I was just caught up in the fun of this rally, and imagining what it must be like to be a bear fearing the impending margin call - figured there may be an alternate...

    General Discussion: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    Anyone else nervously awaiting the 'reverse margin call' from their broker? "We see some real nice gains there in your portfolio lately... would you like help figuring out how to spend them?" :p My first rodeo with options/leverage.... bought calls in the late March and late May dips mostly...

    General Discussion: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    I’m inclined to agree with this hypothesis, and believe another motivation for getting the temporary GA4 line up and running ASAP in a tent is so they can get the capex out of the way in Q2. Much of the line costs will be depreciated/amortized over production, and the ‘temporary’ setup / future...

    General Discussion: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    Can't believe I haven't seen it mentioned yet - but Elon included in a Twitter reply earlier today "Turning on production for Model 3 Performance version.". Previously, he indicated they would start production once they reached the 5000/week threshold. Was that a not-so-subtle indicator of...

    Texas Hold Up!

    Just FYI, I believe most cars for delivery in Dallas are stored at an offsite lot - I looked around for mine, after my ISA confirmed it had 'arrived', and before my delivery, but it was nowhere to be found (did not check the day immediately prior to delivery, unsure how far in advance they may...

    WTB: Tesla Cycling gear

    Thanks; snagged a jersey from there (though I'm not positive that's the original / authentic ones Tesla used to sell - I feel like they looked a bit different, but that may just be bad memory). Still interested in the full kit including bib shorts though!

    WTB: Tesla Cycling gear

    So as I lost weight developing my love for cycling, I put off ordering the Tesla cycling bib and jersey for too long (waiting on my sizing to stabilize). Now they don’t sell them! Looking for a small or medium of either the bibs, jersey, or both. Preferably new, but clean/in good condition...

    Texas Hold Up!

    I'll second the 'so worth it'!! Hang in there folks, it will happen! Oddly I haven't experienced this yet - though I was expecting to. I've been doing my normal toodling around the Richardson/Plano/Allen area, and a couple trips downtown too, and haven't really had anyone ask about the car...

    Blank screen??

    I've also had the blank screen when getting into the car several times, and have used the scroll-wheel reset at least three times - though oddly one time the screen 'woke up' about 10 seconds after I got in, right as I was about to reboot again. The next time it was blank I let it sit for like...

    Texas Hold Up!

    What was the total cost, and did you go with the 750s? Is it running off the separate 12 hour battery Blackvue offers? I’m still trying to figure out what I want to do for dashcam (wish the AP cameras already offered recording!)

    ISA Communications / Scheduled Deliveries

    We were told we both had to log in to the same account... curious if there are others with contrary experiences.

    Texas Hold Up!

    You have to accept the update (because it makes the car totally unusable for ~45 minutes). Mine was delivered with 10.4, but 10.5 was already pending install, so I installed shortly after my trip home from the service center and before I did some lengthier test drives last night :)

    Texas Hold Up!

    I ended up ditching Geico (who has been cheap and great for several years) to go back to Progressive (who I had been with for years before that) due to the Model 3 quotes. Progressive came in at ~$920 for 6 months on a policy for the Model 3 plus a 2011 Dodge RAM 2500. Also, quick note - got...

    Texas Hold Up!

    I just got an update from my ISA that my car made it to Dallas last night, so my 3/27 delivery appointment is now confirmed! Thanks and congrats for others that helped fill this truck up ;)

    VIN Assignment

    My VIN showed up overnight on a weekend (sometime after 10pm on Friday / before 8am Saturday, Central time), so unfortunately you're doomed to refreshing the page many times every day like the rest of us crazies :)

    Texas Hold Up!

    Anyone trying to finalize financing for a Dallas delivery, please hurry up! :) My ISA has backed down a bit from the 3/27 'tentative' delivery appointment while awaiting confirmation on transit details/timing. I'm worried they're still waiting to get a full truck load ready to go - so get off...

    CU of Texas cannot "Close" a Tesla Loan

    I know this is an old thread, but just wanted to share that I've had a very different experience with CUTX (detailed in various posts in another thread, culminating with Texas Hold Up!). I'm not sure whether the changes have been on the Tesla side (they work with a third party title company...

    Texas Hold Up!

    I can confirm that CUTX can work with Tesla with no issues now! They made the process extremely easy (and I got great loan terms too). It took a while for my ISA and the contracts people to get the paperwork together, but once CUTX had the final purchase order and letter of guarantee...

    Texas Hold Up!

    ISA called to ask a couple things to finalize the contract paperwork, and set up a tentative delivery date of 3/27 at 2pm, which is now showing up in my Tesla account! That date will get 'more firm' as soon as they get the check in hand. She also said they'd try to move it up if the car gets...

    Texas Hold Up!

    My ISA called me yesterday (~7:15pm - she apologized for the late call, but I told her to call me at midnight if she wanted to!). Sent over my preapproval docs and updated insurance (I had already uploaded the version referencing TechCU as lienholder to the website, and it wouldn't let me...

    Texas Hold Up!

    A little more back-and-forth with CUTX.... hopefully the concerns from that other thread (over two years old at this point) are outdated, but we'll see as I get further in the process. It'll hurt if this bargain hunting on interest rates delays my shipment/delivery! Still no word from ISA...

    Texas Hold Up!

    Oh wow, I hadn't seen that thread... thanks so much for bringing it to my attention. I'm still early in the process with CUTX (don't even have a purchase order from Tesla yet), so I'll reach out right now to see whether this may be a concern. Will keep you posted...

    Let's talk financing rates

    Another example of 'local CU' being the best option. Was all prepped for going with TechCU (since they were familiar with Teslas, and had instant online approval with rate shown - I got the VIN over the weekend and was anxious to make progress when local CU's were closed). Had even gotten an...

    Texas Hold Up!

    Confirmed about 10 minutes after I hit refresh and saw the configurator was open - on 2/22 (around noon). :) I still haven't gotten an e-mail invitation to configure, and haven't heard from my ISA at all, so no clue on when to expect delivery. Just trying to make sure there are no delays on...

    Texas Hold Up!

    Looong time lurker here; huge Tesla fan and investor (large % of portfolio, but not large absolute). Finally created an account to post! For other DFW area buyers, I've locked in a great interest rate from Credit Union of Texas (initial offer was higher than what I was planning to go with from...
