I want to share a couple of informational messages from the Operation Manager at my SC in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in case they help others here.
The first said, “we have your delivery estimate to be towards the end of this month or early December - you should be getting a VIN pretty soon here!” I’m glad about that as my account shows EDD of 11/21 - 12/5.
I then inquired about applying for a loan upon getting my VIN. She replied, “you’ll get an email when you get your VIN and we’ll send over instructions for your bank. Once you’re matched, it’s about 6 days before your car reaches Chicago, and if it’s paid in full by then we can bring it directly into Michigan.” Under Michigan law, Tesla isn’t allow to sell direct to consumers so we have to pay in full before the vehicles leave Chicago. When I got my Model 3, I drove to Ohio and paid for it there.
Inner peace…
