“A specialist will contact you within 48 hours”

Hey guys. Need some advice. I have ViN 32xxx assigned and my pickup is scheduled this Saturday 7/28.

Last week, I purchased car insurance under a different company than the one I had on the Tesla portal. I sent it to my ISA last week, and when I spoke with him on Friday, he said he'd get it changed.

It's now Wednesday and I am still seeing the "A specialist will contact you in 48 hours message". My insurance is still not updated and I am not able to process my ACH payment. My ISA is completely inaccessible. Doesn't answer the phone and his mailbox is full I tried calling the main Sales line and it's a 50 min hold.

I am assuming that I bring a cashier's check (I wanted to use ACH) and a copy of my new insurance and be able to take delivery on Saturday? This is totally frustrating.
 
@tigerade, I bet that's frustrating. I would definitely spend the 50 minutes on hold if I were you and let them know what's going on and see what they can do to help. BTW, the hold system is on Tesla-time. Its usually 50% to 100% longer than what it says when you first start holding, so if it told you 50 minutes, its probably more like an hour and a half. There's a lot of us that are going to end up in the same position. When you do get it sorted out, would you mind coming back here and telling us what you did? If you figure out how to get rid of the 48-hour-screen-of-death, please share!
 
Not sure a cashier's check is necessary. I think in Dec we just wrote it from our personal checking account (i.e. deposit).
This is the message I received 2 days ago concerning payment.

Garlan,



For the down payment, we can take ACH payment or cashier’s check. The ACH payment is typically available about 24 hours prior to delivery, and you can make that ahead of time.



Sincerely,

Email this team. They seem to respond within an hour during working hours.

Garlan, did they ever manage to remove the 48 hour message from your manage page? Do you initiate the ACH transfer from the Tesla webpage or do you just call your bank, or does Tesla just take care of it?

Thanks.
Yes, the 48 hour notice is gone.

For ACH....first contact you Tesla Rep and they will give you Tesla's ACH number. You then give it to your bank and tell the bank to give you an ACH number ( transfer sequence number ). Then 24/48 hours later...contact Tesla to make sure the ACH took place.
I'm using a Cashiers Check because its tremendously quicker to prove.
 
my friend was 3rd in line 3/31/16 (northeast)
i was 7th

we both got 3P
except he didn’t get FSD and he got white int
i got FSD but black int

he got contacted and delv window is now 8/16-8/24 - and he’s financing.

i didn’t get contacted yet, and am doing cash - my window still says aug-oct

so, i think they’re doing white interior first. it seems all the Ps i’ve seen online are white int, the prod line must be set for that at moment, and they’re rolling with it ($1500 premium). maybe there’s more white int demand than there is of FSD with black int.


further, a second friend (current owner) was at the 3 unveiling and didn’t configure and finalize until after myself and friend #1. he also got white. and is easy coast NY metro area.

he got his email and delivery window yesterday. it’s about 3-4 days after friend #1s window of delivery
seems this is further evidence that white interior is prioritized
 
My order page just updated. The 48 hour message has been replaced with this:

A delivery experience specialist is reviewing your changes and will contact you prior to delivery

The Lemon Law and Order Agreement links are also back, as well as new links to download the Tesla app for iOS and Android. Otherwise everything looks the same. No VIN, no change to the delivery estimate.

My order agreement is back too. Weird.
 
Tesla just published a new version of "My Tesla" about an hour ago. It's possible that this change in verbiage is simply a consequence of the website updating rather than a change in order status. The original language that started this whole thread ("a specialist will contact you within 48 hours") was misleading and inaccurate for most people, so I don't blame them for changing it.

Has anyone who got the "A delivery experience specialist..." message gotten an update? Any changes to the message or any contact from Tesla?

I only made a change because I was interested in seeing loan options before committing to paying in cash. But now I'm worried this is going to hold up my order and I'd rather pay cash if that's the case.
