Asking here - did anyone do a trade in with Tesla? Aside from your keys/reg/etc, was that part of it quick/painless?

I recommend looking at carvana to see if you could get a better value for your car. Carvana is offering me higher than KBB right now, and it only took 10min for the quote

I did, surprisingly Tesla has beat Carvana, Carmax and my local Honda dealer. ¯¯\_(ヅ)_/¯
Check vroom, too.
But if the others are less than Tesla it likely will be, too.
Carmax got me the easier and best price for my Tucson

Yeah Vroom seemed a bit sketchy. I was all set to go with them, but then they said in their paperwork that they take your car, and pay you a few days later. They can change their minds after they get it. If you want your car back, they charge you $700 bucks to get it back if they renege on the deal. No thanks.

To do the front two what? I'm an hour away but in Oceanside all the time and looking for a good quality tint guy.

Definitely check out Carvana. They offered me 10% more than Carmax and Tesla and it was super quick. Took less than 5 minutes to sign the paperwork and I had the money in my account the next day. Also, CA doesn’t give you an incentive to trade in to the dealer you’re buying from. You still have to pay tax on the full new car amount (as opposed to deducting the trade in value if your old car) so it really makes sense to go with the highest bidder. I’ve also heard that Tesla has a tendency to low ball once they actually see your car. Carmax gave exactly what they said they would.

Interesting. With my upcoming travel I called the delivery team at the SC. They tried to find my car, but they couldn't track it yet. She said since it was so recently matched, it might not be trackable. Hoping I get more clarity soon.

Wow nice, that's nearly a first. I hear people getting terrible pricing all the time with Tesla. To answer your original question I've heard it's pretty painless experience as long as your car matches what you told them online. But yeah, no first hand experience.

Just wondering if anyone here picking up in Fremont has gotten a VIN. Living close to the factory sucks. I’m about ready to go there and build my own car
Newbie here. Just found this page. Ordered 5/23, LR, MSM, induction, white, no tow, Temecula delivery. Based on what I'm seeing with delivery times, looks like I should grab some popcorn and settle in for a while. Looking forward to seeing how this whole delivery thing works.

Right might get lucky and get it in June if not sold out, otherwise prob end of Q3?
Looks like I'm lucky. Vin assigned last night after the emotional rollercoaster of 3-13 week EDD.
I literally finalized my config on May 19 and will accept delivery less than weeks from final config date on Weds. It might have something to do with living within 10 miles of the factory and also that I've had a LR RWD reservation for 2 years. They've held my $2500 for a long time and want it off the books before quarter end.
