So this morning I got an email from my DS with a VIN number, and an expected delivery date moved up to "Late July-MidAugust"
But last evening I was contacted by Tesla who advised a similar build was available immediately. T he difference was the mileage on the car, and the lack of a High Amp Charger. The representative also advised they would give me free express shipping, and add a one year maintenance plan, I said I would mull it over, but that I was flexible on color if it made a difference.
I got an email, and at 2550 miles, I was a little hesitant about the inventory car, despite the significant discount. I also plan to travel some, and the High Amp Charger was important to me as many destination chargers can do 80 amps. I was just on vacation last week, and had I had the Tesla, the destination charger there was indeed a High Amp charger.
I emailed back this morning, and very quickly got three more inventory options, all with the ubiquitous "50 Miles" listed. They were all more than my build, due to paint and other options. After some back and forth, I was offered a vehicle that had a tow package (mine did not) and deep blue metallic paint (mine had been solid black) for the same price as my build. Or I cold get the same discount on two other vehicles, but they were several thousand more to start. After mulling it over, and of course getting the WAF resolved, I opted for the blue for the same price. It will be delivered in early July according to the rep.
My head is still spinning. Fortunately, I had my financing already lined up, and a check ready from my bank!
