Your tax rate on a car is where you reside, not where you buy...

Not entirely. Here's the code per the Illinois tax law website. With me living in Hoffman Estates, I believe I would pay the 7% sales tax for DuPage as that's where the release of merchandise happens. There's a special rule in place for those who live in the city of Chicago picking up in outlying areas (8.25%). If it's based on where I live, it's only a quarter point higher as Hoffman is 7.25% on Vehicles vs the 7.0% in Westmont.

Congrats! How’s the 0-20 feel on the AWD compared to RWD (assuming you’ve driven the later)?
 
Who's your delivery specialist? Or is it your ISA that contacted you?
Shawn Denny, Inside Delivery Advisor

He made it seem like he would be coordinating the entire delivery, he basically made sure all the account information was filled out and since we are paying cash he said "it will be easier process". He just told me the payment portal opens 2 days before delivery (I just checked now and its already open).
 
Ah just glossed over that date. My bad. Well congrats nevertheless!
Thanks! Actually transferred the reservation to my dad since I live in a condo building and the charger installation was an insane amount. Hopefully my dad will give sell it back to me whenever I move to the suburbs, ha!

Just as an FYI, the transfer process was quick. The advisor transferred it after I got off the phone with him.
 
If anybody here is obsessively checking the Westmont service center and happens to see an OBM Performance with white interior and 20" wheels there let me know :). No VIN yet to my knowledge just thought I would toss this out there in the off chance it shows up before I hear anything from Tesla.
 
Just got my email. My silver metallic P+ with FSD/EAP/black interior will be tentatively delivered to Highland Park September 8.

3/11/18 Reservation
