Is it safe to do the insurance and bank related activities now?
Yup, you know one of those -- You order it because it's such an amazing deal, you get a VIN and realize you should probably tell your wife about the purchase before having to to go pick it up and pay, and then you have to cancel...
Now should I tell my wife before I get my VIN...jk lol
Another update. EDD is now 11/1 - 11/8. Called the local (Fresno, CA) Service Center and asked a few questions because I am going with FCCU and cant call them until tomorrow (would have already done it but EDD window was 12/11-1/22). They said that the car is probably already at the SC and then got a note to schedule delivery. Picking up 11/4.

Yes, and you'll get another text/email when you final delivery window is ready so you can't miss it.
I laugh when people fight over this. Do what you want and leave everyone alone folks!
I’ll share my experience regarding resale/ trade-in value. I bought a new Tesla MYP at the end of 2021 and got a 2022 model. Last week I was looking to get rid of it to make room for a MX. KBB said the car’s trade in value was $41,850. I sold to a local dealer for $41,700. Now if I input the same car mileage, condition, etc but make the model year 2021. KBB says $36,500.
So there you go, the difference between a 2021 and 2022 MYP that’s a week apart is about $5k after 2 years. But if you plan to keep your car 5+ years, I would imagine that number would be significantly less.

Just got my VIN assigned today for an MXP order from 9/2. Currently says delivery from Nov 14-Nov 21 and that they will reach out when it gets closer to schedule delivery. Let’s just say I wanted a 2024 and don’t care about the tax rebates. At what point do I reach out and do the VIN rejection or vacation hold? Is that a one time event? Definitely want to close since the purchase price was slightly above 90K but would rather do it on a 2024 VIN.
Just do a vacation hold right before your delivery date. You want to push the car back as far as possible.
If you don't have any FSD transfer deal then just do a vacation hold. However, it may be one time chance. They may cancel your order if you continue to deny next delivery without acceptable reason.
You can put your order on hold only once (vin rejection or vacation hold they don’t care). There is no specific date on when this must be done but obviously before the delivery date range. They will start communicating w you and remind you to schedule your delivery. If you need extra time just say I’m working on it. Eventually they’ll say you need to schedule or we cancel your order.
Once on hold, you have 2 weeks before they put your name back in the pool for a new vin. You’ll be “in front of the line” when you go back. You can also release your hold anytime during this two week hold. All this is done online. There will be a “Release my hold” button in your account. To be safe, wait at least 2-3 weeks after the 2024 vins are out before releasing the hold. Good luck!
I think people are worried because of the additional hard credit pull, which temporarily lowers your credit score for a couple of months. This may lead to higher rates, etc.
I think that people shouldn't apply for a loan until they're much closer to their delivery date (within 3 weeks or so) and/or they received their VIN. Some places give you a 60 day approval, so in that case, you have more leeway. Tesla financing only approves for 30 days I believe based on reading other's posts.

Is a hard pull bad enough to cause my final application to be disapproved even if I have a very good credit score?

It shouldn’t. An inquiry is a couple points. Safe to say if you qualified the first time you’ll qualify again.
Thanks for your reply. I just looked at the app and noticed that it says 'offer approved,' but I still need to click the 'confirm' button at the bottom. Does this mean i am not officially messed it up? Lol
Only way to move plaids is to drop the price by $7k till end of the year.
The irony is that they JUST increased the price of plaids by $5k in the last two weeks.

I’m guessing the offer still expires whether you confirm or not and will still require a second hard pull should you need to reapply.
Well I ordered on 10/23 before I told my wife. But she was the one who told me about the transfer of FUSC offer. Last weekend we went to Tesla to test drive the new X. Did not have a Plaid but they did have the LR which see says has a lot more power than our 2020 X. But she really liked the 6 seater - wanted something different. Even with the price increase if you are going with the 6 seater seems logical to go with the Plaid. So on the way home I showed her I had already ordered it -X Plaid.

That wouldn't even pay for one of the exec's salary for the quarter. They should re-calibrate the exec pay rather than save on stalks.
The no stalk is the worst decision ever.
