The car reached the service center before I even sent a check. They really need to make it clear on the MVPA that doing an ACH will take a week longer. On the MVPA, it says “and electronic check is the easiest way to pay for your Tesla.” That doesn’t sound right.

Your best bet to resolve is to contact Fremont and talk to a regional manager or someone above the people you are working with. However, perhaps, the upper mgmt might have suggested downstream to "hold through end of quarter" for the reasons I mentioned. Protecting their business can include making the Customer Deposits line item in the financials larger at quarter end. As a captive customer (who either has paid a non-refundable deposit or a full payment) you have less leverage than if you had paid by personal check "at delivery". This is also another reason why I see Tesla making so many inventory cars ahead of custom orders - since custom orders are non-refundable and you're not going anywhere.
Ask them a few questions. Which earnings line item did you ACH 100k go into for the end of quarter results? Accounts Receivable? Customer Deposits? And since the car is paid for and certain to deliver, did they count it as a sale for Q3?
I bought a car for a family member in 2016. Paid with personal check on Saturday and drove off with it. I asked them not to deposit it until Tuesday when I could transfer funds into the account. They let us have it and didn't deposit the check for those few days. Tesla also did 1-week test drives in Europe recently. I have to wonder why they kept your car through end of quarter on the ACH...

Unfortunately, the only credit card payment is the original deposit. That’s clearly stated. Probably because of the extra charge, and the size of some payments.
Easiest way for Tesla...
. They then have your money. I specifically asked if a personal check was okay, and my DS said sure. (Of course it was ‘only’ $10K USD.)Go see the car now. Look for damages that might be apparent due to transit issues. Others have reported cars that were actually totaled during shipping. Others with paint damages, dents, etc.
Lol.. I can send you a pic of my canceled check... As usual, no consistency...
I wanted to see the car before I gave them the rest of the money.
I took MX delivery Friday of last week in Dallas and I made the payment(Cheque) when I went to pick up the car. Before that the only payment I made was $2500. .

Sure did! Posted on the 24th and 26th with a pic.
Just got her back from being wrapped this week and need to find time to post some pics of that. Excellent job by Exotic locally. Saw your other thread, yours looks great!
Lighter than the old tan, not as screaming bright as the white. Tons of pics around. Here’s some of mine: New Cream Interior
Took delivery of my Model X 75D! Delivery was fast and guy was professional. Got two keys, AC worked fine. Impressed overall!
I got the cream interior, so I will post some pics really soon. Just note that dashboard trim has no alcantara and is all synthetic leather. The seats feel really good. Drive is impressive.
Overall very satisfied!

Oh I like that. Better than the white (for me). Bit more subtle.
That’s a picture of my cream interior. More pics of of the rear coming!
