August Order Estimate Delivery

[eric.freeman]

Delivery was supposed to be Friday. They called to say the car arrived today but was damaged in transit. Rock chips to front end and windshield. It's off to the body shop.

Damn this winter!

Oof, that's one thing I am worried about, I am on the clock here!

I got my first trade in Text on 12/9
the next trade in prompt on 12/28, when I called the SA they said we try to do this if we think your vehcile could be here within 30 days
I got a vin on 1/7

My trade-in offer was good up till 1/27 so…here’s to hoping I get a VIN before then (I already declined the trade-in).

Any 7 seaters get a VIN yet?

Not yet but I just got off with an S.A. and he reached out to production while I waited on the phone. He reports that he was informed by production that my car should be built on 1/14 and I should be receiving a vin on the 14th as well.

it seems that every time I start my EDD range, I get pushed back some… it was 1/9-1/23 and now it’s 1/12-1/23, I’m picking up in Corte Madera.

I order my tesla model y in August 15/2021 . My delivery date showing January 13 - February 10 . They change delivery date before two times already. They don’t assigned Vin number yet . Any body knows when tesla assigned vin number and delivery date.

Agree, same in Canada, but when you look at the "Details" on the Tesla Account, it is not how they show you the trade-in. I talked to my SA about it, he said they will fix that when you come in for delivery, which is WEIRD since the amount you will pay is less... so in theory if you pre-pay before they fix it, you will be paying more.

thanks, I might change my delivery to pick up at the dealership rather than my driveway. I don't want to have surprises later. If they send me the final invoice prior to delivery that would allay my fears. I might call my SA on Friday. But I am giving some time for the system to run overnight and adjust the taxes etc.

What is your configuration? Color, number of seats etc.?

What is your configuration? Color, number of seats etc.?

White color and 7 seats

I see. The 7 seat vehicles are run very infrequent batches and most people get delayed deliveries. A minority get it earlier than people who booked with them.

This is a great reason I opted out of home delivery, it is easy to do these workarounds when you are there

Correct me if I'm wrong here, I've sold couple cars via KBB instant offers. You do not need to pay any taxes on your end when you sell your car. The buyer of your car is responsible for the tax when they/he/she transfer the ownership over to them. They pay the tax based on local rate against the price they purchased from you.

I was about to make same comment. Buyer not seller pays sales tax, at least thats the case in California.

Yes, in California, but in some states the seller pays the sales tax but not on trade-ins.

So the point is, say, I make a purchase of $100 (tesla car), as a buyer I pay $7 sales tax. Now at the time of buying this car, if I hand over to Tesla a mini car costing $50. Tesla will now charge me $100-$50 and bill me $50 and also charge me $3.50 in sales tax (@7%), instead of the $7 I would have paid on a $100 purchase. So while trading in a car, you can save on sales tax on your new purchase if one's state allow this, and they also do have a sales tax.

My response was from the perspective of a Californian where the buyer not seller pays sales tax. It’s obviously different in Minnesota.

Using your figures, In Illinois, you would pay $100 for new car + 7 sales tax - $50 for trade in or $57. .

Just a first service update. I was worried about the dreaded "that's within spec" comment.

Not the case for me at least. They identified they fixed everything. Getting vehicle now, will see if anything was not actually fixed.

-hood 1/8 not flush with quarter panels.
Fixed.
-trunk 1/4 gap between it and quarter.
Fixed.
-paint chip on rear handle.
Replaced the whole handle.
-horn squeeling not honking.
Replaced.
-horrible HVAC noise.
Low refrigeratant...filled .....maybe a hole ...will watch out.
- front right headlight not flush.
Adjusted.
-sonic tiktok etc. Not included in xmas update.
Not all firmware updates received it. Coming soon.

Hope they didn't damage any PPF on the front end while working.

I, the buyer am paying sales tax in MN. The dealer collects sales tax from me the buyer and pays it to the government. When I also hand them over a trade in, they make me pay less sales tax.
