That link isn't working so well for me. Here is another:

Thanks for the clarification, your first post made it look like the order experience was a problem, which is in fact as easy as can be. However as for what to do with your old car, that is a different story. Perhaps they could improve the trade-in process, but I bet that's not a priority for them right now so I wouldn't expect improvements in that area for a long, long time. Even for Elon-time. Instead I'd look at the trade-in as a probable low-ball offer that saves you a little in tax and the headache of selling your car - i.e. imagine the lowest price you could get for your car and realize they'll likely offer a bit less than that.
Up to now I've bought and sold all my cars myself used. First with classified ads in the paper and Auto Trader magazine. Nowadays online with Kijiji and AutoTrader.ca. If you are on FaceBook, I hear FaceBook Marketplace works well too. I've never found it a problem selling on Kijiji and AutoTrader. Take lots of photos, especially of defects. Be very honest in the description of the car. If a buyer finds something you failed to point out, they'll wonder how many other defects you're hiding and will usually walk. That's a waste of your time (and theirs). Get a CarFax report done. Research prices on what your model sells for on the above venues and price accordingly. If you're willing to haggle, deal with lots of shoppers and want to hold out for the most money - price it a bit high. If you just want to get rid of the darned thing, price a bit on the low side. I price on the low side and I've always sold within a few days and to the first or second interested party - minimal hassle on my part. It will still fetch you far more than what you'll get offered by Tesla. Maybe two hours doing up the postings, another hour or two fielding phone calls and emails and one to two hrs for each "showing". Price it right and it can be gone quickly. Or simply accept what Tesla offers. Or look elsewhere...
I just got the VIN for my son’s Model 3. Ontario ,Canada. He configured the car on March 25, 2018As Canadians like myself got the invite to configure our car. We will be the first international customers to get our cars. I have started this thread to post when we all get our VIN's and deliveries.
Cheers

Hi, I just got theVIN for my son’s Model 3 todayWell, they better send out some vins then so that people can get their insurance in order. Also, people may need some time to organize financing too!
How was your Canadian order experience? I am contemplating not buying the Model 3 currently due to the order experience. They're making it seem like I should be grateful that they are allowing me to buy a car from them instead of wooing me as a customer.
I think they assume that there is no need to woo anyone anymore because hundreds of thousands have already decided to buy the car. I bet all manufacturers would do the same thing too if they were in a similar situation. Seriously though, Tesla gives a much lower trade-in figure because they turn around and offload it to a wholesaler. They consider taking a trade-in as providing an ancillary service to their customers as they are not really in the usual new/used car dealership business.
I did finally get them to give me an estimate when I said I may walk away from the deal. And the offer was very low - over $10k lower than black book trade in value of the car. I really am not in the mood to try and private sale but don't like throwing away cash - Autotrader has people seeking my same car for $15K more than the trade in offer. I am really struggling with this and if I should purchase the model 3.

FWIW, a sales agent at the Tesla store at Park Royal (Vancouver) told me they already delivered several Model 3 over the past 14 days.
VIN arrived last night: GTA

Configured last week..
Anyone have a delivery adviser contact you?
Did your Tesla dealership say you need to claim the EV incentive yourself after purchase or are they willing to submit it on your behalf and reduce the cost at time of financing?
I was going to dismiss this claim as not accurate since the US Federal tax incentive is only discounted by the dealer for leased vehicles and I assumed ON was the same. I looked up the Ontario incentive and FAQ #14 shows that yes, it is possible for dealers to submit this on your behalf and give you the discount up front. Assumptions and asses and all that...So that is corporate and not just the crappy Tesla store I need to deal with. I bought two ev cars last year and each dealership submitted the ev credit for me and deducted at time of purchase - I would have hoped a luxury company like Tesla would do this for their customers to make the purchase experience that much easier.
