1 year into having a 3LR and it's been fantastic. I would recommend PPF if you drive highways/off road as the paint is very soft.

Its worth noting that there was a 1-2 day gap last time the funds dropped to 0, before the $10 million was added. However, Tesla held off on eligible deliveries until the money showed up again.
Apparently Tesla cannot hold funds until they take the down payment (note that the order fee does not count as a down payment).
It is super uncomfortable, but It doesn't seem to be dropping that fast anymore. I suspect you have discovered by now that you will be fine for tomorrow.
Right, but since then I believe they quietly added another 5 million without any gap, so hopefully the gap was a one time thing.
I hope so. The stress was no fun and I want those ordering now to have a more care-free experience.
I found interesting that every time when the funds gets low, ppl come to here. I’ve done that too
. I would think you guys are fine because of the guaranteed 27m of funds still available. Just matter of days when the government top it up. The guy who should worry is the one who ordered before all the 27m runs out. That’s the time to tell if B.C. government has something more.

I actually don't know what will happen if it runs out. Will my order go on hold pending a top-up? Will I reject it and have to order again with another 2 week wait time? Are my funds reserved because I have a MVPA and VIN already? These are questions I've been trying to get answers for from Tesla pretty much all day and nobody will return my calls or answer these questions. I'm quite frustrated, the customer service experience has been pretty bad, I'm very worried about that and actually wondering if this is the right decision.
There's no such ETA, however, you can always watch the trend. Between mid-May to early June, it runs as fast as 500K/day. That means the remaining can depleted as fast as end of Aug. But right now it runs relatively slow, it may run until Sept or even Oct. I didn't monitor it lately as I've already had my car in mid-June. So someone can chime in if they are actively monitoring it.
I'm lucked out that the government topped it up 5m few days before I got my car. For you guys, I'll say don't worry as it has more than 3 days of funds available given the average depletion rate recently. I think that's why the government didn't top it up yet as opposite to the last time. It was 500k/day and it's definitely running out on the Sat. or Sun at the latest. If worst comes to the worst, you can always postpone the delivery date.
As someone pointed out, another $5,000,000 just hit, so you're good. However, here are the answers to your questions for others who come looking in the future:
- During the last gap in funding, they held off on eligible deliveries to "wait and see" automatically.
- Funds are not reserved by the initial $3,200 order payment. Funds can only be reserved when the actual down-payment is made. For other dealers, they might take that earlier in the process, but not Tesla. Basically no funds are yours until delivery day.
That’s ridiculous. My delivery is scheduled for tomorrow, and now I don’t know what the total due would be.
The release states "Vehicles purchased or reserved prior to that date will be covered by the prior program incentives and rules". I reserved June 11 and my delivery is scheduled for Wednesday so I believe it should be ok.
