A Heads up for anyone in Texas, the Tesla rep informed me that they may start collecting registration and taxes beginning as early as end of this week so we can avoid having to do it ourselves. They asked me to try and take delivery on Thursday if I wanted to avoid it.

Deliveries of $80k X?
- Thread starter Smitty79
- Start date
Yeah we’ve gotten maybe a half dozen X’s between loaners, extended test drives, and now finally owning one. The FWDs have worried me the most so we spent a lot of time playing around with them in all sorts of scenarios and this is definitely the pattern we see.
Luckily we’ve never encountered one so misaligned that it scrapes or refuses to close. I definitely would reject delivery of THAT. But otherwise I’ve not seen a single one that closes to perfect alignment each and every time. Especially when it does the tight parking space motion.
Those transfers, similar to the FSD transfer, does not show up in the MVPA. What you'll likely get is a document to sign when you have a scheduled delivery date. And even then, they may send it out a day or 2 before your actual pick up date.
I received my FSD transfer doc to sign 2 days before delivery.

I am in the same boat. I was told to check with Navy Federal (not sure the criteria to join) because they are more expansive in their offerings. I have not checked with them yet but will as I get closer to a date.
With Navy Federal, you have to be/had been in the service to qualify...or have someone in the navy sponsor you.

How do you land 3.99% still for new members? I called after the recent updates and they said base rate is 4.99% and a 0.25% discount for new members.
They must have reduced the new member discount from 1% to 0.25%. It was still active before 11/9.
I hoenstly don't mind waiting until 2024, i just don't like the whiplash lol!
Oof sounds like they changed it now...I just signed my documents with them through DocuSign for 3.99% for 72 months.
So it looks like the best rate you can get at Fedchoice now is 4.74% but only for 60months. Prob still lower than most but just not as good as the 3.99% they were offering just 4 days ago.
So this morning I was at Nov 29 to Jan 9 (9/22 order UR) honestly that's accurate to 30mins ago. Now I have a Vin of PF421101. Seems really odd. And that VIN also seems older than most of the VIN's I've seen as of late. Honestly was prepared for a mid Dec date. Thoughts?
421XXX seems fine. Prob a mid Oct build. I took delivery last Wednesday and mine was a 423XXX
Someone didn't go through with buying it for some reason, whether they declined accepting it or didn't have the funds/changed mind, etc. 421XXX is still relatively recent, and people are JUST picking those VINs up now within the last two weeks.
For anyone waiting for a 2024 VIN: I ordered MXP mid-october and was issued a 420xxx VIN and delivery date 2 weeks later. I declined wanting a 2024 car. Now I severely regret declining. There will be no difference between 2023 and 2024 and now I'm sitting here without the car I really want. I don't even have an EDD now. If I could do it over, I would have taken the car that was slated for me.
Yeah, that was my reasoning for not declining my VIN. There's a huge chance I wouldn't get a 2024 VIN by Dec 31 when I needed that tax credit.
I would've at least gone and inspected that car to see if it was good before declining though. You won't be able to decline the next one without losing the $250 deposit.
I'm still scheduling estimates for a charger install at the house. Just, like a pretty abrupt change to go from an earliest EDD of Nov 29th. to "COME GET YOUR CAR NOW!!!!" Glad I did my Fed Choice last week. Would I get my old slot in line if I declined?
It sounds like if you declined, it's YMMV what happens from that point on. If Tesla had a plethora of vehicles, you would be good, but there are some reports where they declined (as in above post) and still haven't gotten an EDD yet.
You also risk losing your FedChoice loan as well. Tesla might delay delivery dates longer. I know you have 60 days to finalize the loan, but given recent rate changes, and now everyone is trying to get in on FedChoice since it's still much cheaper than other loans even after the increase and likely to be bogged down, I would jump on it ASAP instead of waiting it out. FedChoice will probably find ANY excuse to give you a higher interest rate, since you haven't signed anything. They're already losing potential money with each passing loan they get since their interest rate is lower than Fed Funds rate.
When I bought houses, I had to sign documents to lock in the rate. Since FedChoice has not actually had you formally sign any documents, I would really try to get everything signed now to ensure you got that rate. I found it already sus that they would only give you the rate over the phone (they never responded to any of my email messages with an email except only generic messages like 'you're approved.' without a loan rate, and would give it to me only via phone) which to me, tells me that they can change the rate at any time before formally signing documents and leaving no trace of actual loan rate.

For this first one I technically put my account on vacation hold. Does this still count as a VIN decline in which case I'll need to accept the next one? I thought you could do vacation hold once and then max 1 VIN decline after that?
