    Seattle area RTA registration tax

    That's weird. I'm in a slightly different situation because I did a home delivery, which I think means that my purchase location and registration location are the same (and both outside of the RTA zone). I was told by Tesla support that their internal DMV team had concluded that I should not...

    Seattle area RTA registration tax

    Yeah, I figure it will take some following up...but at least I have it in writing from them that they know it needs to be refunded. We'll see how it goes :)

    Seattle area RTA registration tax

    Small update - after a bit of back and forth, I finally got an email from my delivery adviser (first email ever!! never heard from him prior to delivery) and he was able to check with the relevant team to confirm that I should NOT have been charged RTA tax. He said that once the registration is...

    Ambient LED replacements

    Ah! I had already ordered and installed a center console wrap from Abstract Ocean and it went great. Didn't even think to check back on their site for the lights (doh). Thanks - it looks like they are definitely more affordable than the RPM Tesla offering (especially with the i1Tesla discount code)

    Ambient LED replacements

    I saw that the RPM Tesla website has some replacement ambient lighting options (in red/blue/purple colors) for the Model 3...but at $65 (or even $55 with the current discount) they seem quite overpriced for a led bulb. Has anyone purchased any good alternatives to the RPM Tesla offering?

    Mid Range waiting room

    I'm glad that it seems no-one here missed the 2018 delivery cut off. I did see folks on Twitter who ordered back in October and who did not receive their cars before EOY. Delivery location was Hawaii, so there were probably some unique challenges, but it will be interesting to see how the few...

    Mid Range waiting room

    Yes! I got a call from the store about 30 mins before my delivery window ended just to let me know that they were on their way. Delivery was very smooth, didn't feel rushed, and to my relief the car looks absolutely flawless :):):) Very happy and everyone I worked with at the Bellevue WA store...

    Mid Range waiting room

    oh oh oh!!!! The app just changed, literally 10 mins before my delivery window starts! I no longer see the "welcome to the family" splash screen" and I now see the full app, but all of the controls are disabled and it says "Mobile Access Disabled". I guess that's how they deal with home...

    Mid Range waiting room

    Makes sense. I was also wondering it was related to home deliveries which are being driven from a local store to the persons home (rather than delivered on a truck). Maybe the delivery person has some remote way to activate the car etc, but I was assuming it was activated at the store and then...

    Mid Range waiting room

    Oh weird...I've seen a whole bunch of YouTube videos of home deliveries and people saying on FB groups that they were able to actually see and track their car to their house using the app on the day of delivery! Thought that was the norm...

    My nerves are shot. Home delivery appointment is 2 hours away with no room for error (non-refundable flights tomorrow AM) and the car hasn't shown up active on the Tesla app yet :)

    Mid Range waiting room

    Whoa..I actually got an email from Tesla today to confirm 29th delivery between 4 and 6pm in Seattle. First proactive communication i've received throughout the entire process! Update: And another email, not auto-generated this time, from an actual delivery advisor! My first indication that...

    Mid Range waiting room

    Congrats! Bellevue store? What was your order date and can you let us know the steps you went through? i.e. when did they tell you a deliver date, how long before did the call/text to confirm, what happened on the morning of the delivery etc? I'm just trying to make sure that nothing out of the...

    Estimate RTA / tabs cost without Vin?

    Thanks for the responses. I've already been charged the RTA fee as I am not financing and had to pay for the car prior to delivery ( the final paperwork in my account had the $583 RTA tax included). I'm taking delivery at home, so I will be sure to mention it when the delivery takes place and...

    Mid Range waiting room

    Was it easy? and did they handle it entirely in the store or did you have to run around to Store/DMV/notary etc to get this all done? I'm planning for the worst on my end, and hoping for the best ;)

    Mid Range waiting room

    Good to see folks getting their cars and being happy, hope it's a good sign for the rest of us! I am scheduled for 29th delivery in Seattle, but I only know that because I saw the date in my online account and emailed Tesla customer support to confirm. I've still never received a text message...

    Argh that sucks :( Such a ridiculous amount of money...

    Seattle area RTA registration tax

    Thanks. I did the DOL estimate and it said something along the lines of our zip code being on the border so they couldn't give a definitive estimate. The Sound Transit site confirms we are 0.6 miles outside of the RTA zone, so I think I should be able to get this RTA county fee removed.

    Estimate RTA / tabs cost without Vin?

    That thread has since updated. Seems to be a lot of discussion about whether it's always 385 or 583 for AWD (which is what i am being quoted on my latest final payment docs). I'm even more confused since I live outside of the RTA zone and am still getting this charge added to my payment.

    Seattle area RTA registration tax

    I've received my final payment details twice now (because I originally ordered mid-range and then switched to AWD). When I received the final payment info for the mid-range RWD the RTA county fee was shown as $385. Now that the payment has been updated to reflect the AWD order, the RTA county...

    Wow, gift from Elon? :) In seriousness, this sounds troubling....call them or go into your local Tesla dealership to find out what's going on asap as you don't want it to impact your order. If you have a VIN, then your delivery date should be confirmed but may still be subject to change if they...

    Mid Range waiting room

    Despite the replies from Elon which made me feel warm/fuzzy and much more confident....I chickened out and went to the Tesla store today. Switched my mid-range order to a matching AWD car that they had in inventory. Now I have a VIN and hopefully delivery date will move up. My original 12/29...

    Mid Range waiting room

    Wow, Elon just replied to me twice on twitter about the mid-range situation: Question: "How about fulfilling the outstanding orders for mid-range RWD? Many of us are really concerned about the lack of updates and proximity to EOY." Elon: "It will be tight, but Tesla production should have all...

    Mid Range waiting room

    Familiar story - I found this forum/thread while searching the interwebs for info about Tesla Model 3 Mid-Range delays (as I could see tons of people on Facebook/Twitter getting their AWD orders fairly promptly, while the majority of people with delays seemed to be Mid-Range order holders). I'm...
