That was one of the lessons I learned in my months of OCD reviewing these forums. I ordered originally 2/14, and never progressed past "Registration" details. On Feb 18 I joined these forms and started reading all I could. Reading on here about ordering as CASH and then switch to finance once you have a VIN is something I learned prior to taking my order of Hold on 6/4 and finalizing my profile.
My seeming VERY long journey started in April of 2016 when I placed a deposit on the Model 3 just after they opened up pre-orders. Timing wasn't right when my order came up and I cancelled. I was happy when the MY was announced, and now here I am years later scheduled to pick up my MY tomorrow @ 11am PT. I almost can't believe it but at the same time am prepared for the "day of call" that I need to delay delivery. Only positive thoughts though!!!
