Questions for some of the veterans in this group...this is my first Tesla so not really sure how this goes, and I live in Michigan so the rules are a little different since they can't "sell" cars here. My order is delayed like so many others, and my SA says if I snag an inventory car, I have to go to the location of the car to get it, UNLESS it is in Indianapolis, and then it can be brought to MI for pick up - is that just because I am in MI or do folks buying inventory models have to go to the car location to pick them up? I have a few options here, as I could visit surrounding states without too much trouble, but probably don't have time and money to go to, say, the west coast and drive back, since that involves time off work, animal care, parental care, etc.
Also, inventory cars seems to drop in the middle of the night and I seem to never see cars in Indy by the time I am awake and alert enough to check, and even Nationwide the vast majority are P models and I would want the LR. Given the highly variable nature of order date to delivery date, has anyone tried to put in an entirely NEW order, like with a different config or pick up location, to see which one arrives first? any drawbacks to that? I know there would be the $100 fee lost, any other fees I might be on the hook for by trying this approach?
