No they are sequential but across all product lines including energy. Thats why they increase so quickly... Its well documented on the reservation number tracking websites out there...I thought RN’s were randomized

This was from a while back so perhaps things have changed.But why would the RNs be random? Wouldn't there be a risk of generating two duplicate random numbers? Sequential makes more sense, especially if they need to trace a defect to a particular batch of parts or orders.
Yes, they can perform a check for duplicates each time, but why do it this way? In this case, how is a random generator beneficial or advantageous over sequential RNs?Supply Chain Quality tracking would not be tied only to a customer order number on a front facing system. My experience is Aerospace, but auto has similar SCQ track and trace methodologies.
Random RN is fine as long as they do a duplicate check at generation and maybe even at row (record) insertion time.
If you reject a delivery, Tesla will hold on to your deposit until you a) you cancel the order or b) pick up another vehicle. If you cancel your order at the time of delivery, the delivery center will issue you a check for amount that was withdrawn from your bank account.That's a bummer if so...I don't want to be waiting for an ACH back for $15k on Tesla's timeline if I were to reject delivery...
Wonder if this is something else that SA's have a different answer for as well.
Yes, they can perform a check for duplicates, but why even introduce that extra step? In this case, how is a random generator beneficial or advantageous over sequential RNs?
Thanks for the heads up - can't say any of those are great options though with how large the line is for these cars...If you reject a delivery, Tesla will hold on to your deposit until you a) you cancel the order or b) pick up another vehicle.

Hey just curious were you leasing the car that you sold? I got a decent offer from Carvana above my payoff amount for the lease which is up next month. So I was wondering how Carvana would handle that? Would they payoff the lease and remit the balance to me?Hey just chiming in with my experience with Carvana, the guy showed up look at the car and did for like maybe 2 whole collective minutes, turned it on and looked at dash, then said everything looks good and your money should show up in X amount of business days. Signed some papers and he was off on his way. The loan was paid off and the cash showed up earlier than he estimated.
I disclosed some damage (a scuff on the bumper) and it seemed like he could not have cared less about it, and it only impacted the quote by a few hundred bucks.
Got excited too quick about having a June 1-21 delivery date. Just checked today and it changed to June 7-27... NO VIN yet...Ordered May 2.
Interesting I ordered the day before you in Boca Raton and I have a 5-12 week window with my sa saying at least 12 weeks out good luck hopefully we get it sooner. Also no car right now borrowing my father’s.I ordered 5/12 in Orlando. I spoke to a SA today (different matter) and he informed me to expect a late June to early July delivery. I started with a date range last week when I ordered, then changed to 5 to 11 weeks over the weekend. I got the bright idea of changing to blue from the grey so now I have no “estimated delivery” at all. I’m barely a week in and I can barely wait, so I can only imagine what the rest of you are going through. Stay strong! But in my defense, my car was totaled 2 weeks ago so I’m car-less lol. Happy waiting to all!!!
But what if you don't want to do a down payment? I'm just trying to figure out at what point am I LOCKED into what I have entered in the delivery profile page? Currently I have loan terms that I've been approved for, with X amount down payment, etc... I haven't clicked "CONFIRM" yet because I was worried about that, but it sounds like I can go ahead.You cannot provide your down payment via cashier's check. Once you're matched to a VIN and final payment is required, you'll be able to pay your down payment online. They won't deliver unless any down payment is already paid (this is what the delivery specialist told me yesterday).
Not sure on that mine was financed thru BMW Bank of North America. I imagine it's possible that Carvana could do everything between the lender directly, which is most likely the manufacturer's banking arm just like in a finance payoff. If you paid directly Carvana would then just pay you though and I feel like it wouldn't be that risky, but something to keep in mind that you could be left holding the bag if Carvana changed the offer or something. Also would probably take longer since you'd have to retitle for you buying, then retitle again when Carvana bought the car.Hey just curious were you leasing the car that you sold?

I mean no one has a gun to your head for the down payment or the loan from Chase, US Bank, or whoever Tesla is using because you clicked a confirm button. It seems you have a lower risk tolerance and should read everything you're agreeing to, but at the end of the day if you don't take delivery there's no down payment or loan. Until you take delivery your agreement with X, Y, Z bank is contingent on a future agreement (vehicle purchase agreement). Until you sign on the dotted line for the vehicle for X method of payment, you can change that method of payment.But what if you don't want to do a down payment?

Thats exactly what Carvana did for me and my lease. They paid off the balance to Hyundai Financial and wrote me a check for the remaining amount. They offered me $1500 more than the payoff.Hey just curious were you leasing the car that you sold? I got a decent offer from Carvana above my payoff amount for the lease which is up next month.

Well I am speaking from experience when I bought my M3P back in September, I didn't want to give them my money until I saw the car in case I had to refuse it if it had bad panels etc. They will take a cashier's check, in fact I'm doing the same for the Y and they told me no problem. So long as they have the money prior to you taking it home its fine.You cannot provide your down payment via cashier's check.

No he is wrong that is not the way it works. That’s not how any of this works…(haha)Are you sure about that? So if I click "CONFIRM" to my loan details, they will take money out?
I haven't entered any bank info, though, so how is that possible?
He is wrong, you are just agreeing to the terms of the loan, term, money down, amount financed, rate and monthly paymentAre you sure about that? So if I click "CONFIRM" to my loan details, they will take money out?

When I purchased an inventory Model S in August 2019, I didn't need to provide a down payment. They shipped the car to my local Service Center for free and my whole family went together to inspect it. I paid with a combination of lender check and a personal check. No issues and we drove the new S home.But what if you don't want to do a down payment? I'm just trying to figure out at what point am I LOCKED into what I have entered in the delivery profile page?
