    Credit Card for Downpayment?

    Tesla allows the initial $2500 deposit to order your car to be put down using a credit card. Will they allow the remaining 10% I am not financing to be put on a credit card also?

    Trade-in with a lien

    Does Tesla take trade-ins that still have a loan balance?

    Inventory Order-Delivery fee?

    Hello, I placed an inventory order on a model S and got the Motor Vehicle Purchase Agreement which shows the $1200 destination and doc fee. I ordered it online and went into the store to confirm that I didn't have to pay the delivery fee. The sales person said that the car is being shipped...

    New Fremont Delivery Center

    Has anyone picked up their car from the new Fremont Delivery Center? This is the one on Fremont Avenue on the opposite side of the Freeway. DS told me that they are just opening now and that is where we are picking up our new X.

    Ordered on Oct12, still not in production...

    does anyone have the same situation? My car is confirmed on Oct 16th, MS. But it still not yet in production. I asked DS in Nov, and he said that it should be in at the first week of Dec. Now he is saying there is no ETA. But he confirmed that it will be ready before Xmas. I am very anxious...

    Im Getting an Inventory Model X So I Can Do This Every Night

  9. TMeister

    And now for a totally different delivery experience...

    Given the recent delivery issues others have seen, I thought I'd tell you all about mine. We've already had the car about 10 weeks now and have taken a cross country trip in it. But that's ahead of the story. Living in Boise which happens to be almost exactly between the Salt Lake City and...

    Front License Plate at Delivery

    Hi, my delivery date for my new Model X is nearing closer and I really don't want a front license plate. Does anyone know if I need to request that with my DS or if the Model X just doesn't comes with the bracket or anything in the front, I live in the state of IL. If anyone has recently picked...

    Joining the Tesla family!

    Just placed my order for a Model S 100D. Really happy to have done so, and couldn't have done it without all of the support and info available at TMC. February can't come quick enough!

    MX delivery - license bracket?

    Hello, We'll be taking delivery of our MX in a couple weeks. The folks from Tesla told me that there will be a front license bracket installed. From what I remember, the S has the bracket and X did not. Did something change recently?

    Ontario Green plate

    Just curious for all Ontarians, on the date of delivery, do they give you a green plate? or we need to apply for it later?

    Let me describe our delivery . . . seems common these days

    First- its not my car - my bride has wanted a Tesla since 2012. I'm here to get and share info and experiences - we're not greenies or fanboys, we use the vehicle for the benefits it provides - mainly carpool lane access and the ability to avoid gas stations and then the cool factor for my...

    Transfer Model 3 to a Friend

    hi guys, I have a reservation from day 1, not yet invited to configure but probably soon. I have a Model X and even though I would like to keep my Model 3 reservation , a friend of mine is kinda desperate for me to transfer my reservation to him. I know that Tesla doesn't allow this directly, is...

    Delayed Delivery

    I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this kind of situation. Was making my 1.5 hour trek to my Tesla location to pick up my brand new MS yesterday when I got an email about 30 minutes into the drive from my DS. He informed me that his service team found a defect in the driver door...

    Showroom Discount - Adjustment

    I reserved my inventory model X on Nov 30th. I’m picking it up at the end of this month. While I am very happy with the showroom discount, I’ve read that other people had luck getting the discount increased closer to delivery day because the car is now one month older. Is it common to ask for...

    Time of delivery in Bay Area California

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone in the bay area got their model 3 delivery within three weeks after configuration. I got the notice to configure mine and wonder if tesla can make delivery in before end of year in the bay area. Thank you

    What happens to the original deposit?

    i put $2500 down when I ordered my car. I got my leasing paperwork today, and nowhere does it mention the $2500 I already put down. Will this be adjusted for in the final paperwork?

    I’ve been invited to configure. Should I?

    I was a day 1 (31st here in the US) reservation holder who waited in line at the Palo Alto Tesla store. Fully intended to get a Model 3 as the Model S seemed like a bit of overkill (size and $ wise). I would bide my time until Model 3 came to production. Then Tesla announced in March of this...

    Toronto and Oakville Delivery Update

    Just got a call from Tesla that they will be hosting a Year End Delivery event at the International Center in mississauga. Sounds like it should be a shin-dig. Then called my DS and my Tesla has arrived and is on the lot in oakville! Too bad I am traveling next week, or I could have picked it...

    Inventory July 2017 75D with AP Gen 1 hardware - puzzled

    I ordered an inventory 75D VIN 5YJSA1E24HF208689, manufactured in July 2017. When I looked up the view spec options on the car, I found that it has Gen 1 AP hardware. I thought all cars after October 2016 had Gen 2 hardware. Anybody have this experience? Here are the relevant options after...

    Made to order?

    Are Model 3s "mode to order" like S and X? I think we've all presumed they will, but I'm not so sure. Is You You's car in "production" mode? I was just looking over my order agreement and it says, "Once you submit your completed order, we will locate a vehicle to match your Vehicle...

    HELP! Get the S or wait for the 3??

    HELP! I just put a deposit down for a new 75RWD model S but the monthly price is coming in more than I had thought (tax wasn't included...) and now I'm seeing these posts and videos of people LOVING the 3. I still have a reservation from February (set date May-June 2018) and I'm seriously...

    My Inventory Delivery on Dec 8th :)

    What do you guys think? Prices are in Canadian dollars so it its about 62,000 USD. Its a 2017 demo/loaner with 15,000 km on it or 9300 miles. I've read a lot of horror stories so far and in my experience the only real issues I have is that they don't always call when they say they will and I...

    When does my car start responding to API requests?

    Hi, Custom car on order. Delivery sometime the week before Christmas. Just wondering when the car will start responding to API requests. Like, for instance, I have an account at evtripping.com where I can give it my tesla login info and it will supposedly talk to the car for info. When will...

    Has anyone actually had someone else take delivery???

    I know a common question is 'can I transfer my reservation'? The answer is no, so let's move on. However, my brother would love to take delivery of the car and drive off into the sunset, but the reservation is in my name. My OA from my Model S purchase just told me as long as I'm there, my...

    Been searching around for an inventory X in socal and there is hardly anything available. I have been looking around on ev-cpo and teslainventory and there are 0 75D available and a handful of 100d all over $100k. Is Tesla holding inventory back? Anyone have any luck finding something? Don't...

    Ordered an MX - Such an Easy Process So Far!

    I am just amazed at how easy everything has been so far. 1. My OA and DS have been amazing so far. 2. My DS guaranteed me I will have my MX by year end for tax purposes. 3. My production is still on schedule. 4. The credit application was the quickest, easiest process I have ever been...

    Inventory X. What is acceptable wear and tear?

    Picking up my X this month. It’s an inventory car with 2,700 miles. Based on actual experiences, what have people just accepted vs had fixed at delivery? My assumption is that I would not accept any rash on the rims, door dings, paint chips on hood from road rash, etc. is that reasonable...

    Anyone lease again?

    Delivery NIGHTMARE

    Not to rain on anyone's Tesla parade, but we went to take delivery today of our new Model 75 S. It did not happen. Let's just say there were so many imperfections in the exterior that it took us 30 minutes to document and photograph. We were told different stories by the delivery staff : 1)...

    Status of EV Rebate in Latest Version Tax Bill?

    Who is responsible for updating delivery status on Tesla Account?
