Hi all...
Hope you are safe and doing well with this outbreak. I have some great news.... My Tesla Model Y delivery date is set. This is going to be my first EV and my first Tesla so, I don't need to tell how much excited and anxious I am at this moment...
I finally finished all the paperwork and process so, I would like to share a little bit of it with you.
- Ordered a LR RWD on Jan 26 2020. Yes, RWD!
- After Tesla Q4 Financial Results on Jan 29, RWD option was removed and my MY wheels were upgraded automatically to 20’’ Induction Wheels when I checked my account after that event
- Updated to LR AWD on Mar 2 because of the lack of information about what was going to happen to the RWD version. Glad I did that because till today (March 20) we don't know yet when that option is coming or even if it will come in the future
- Updated to the Red Multi-coat on March 3
- NO more changes after that
- Got the "Get Ready for Your Model Y Delivery" email on March 10 and filled out all the details like trade-in, started the loan application process with Alliant Credit Union, defined the amount of payment for cash, added my driver's license and home address info
- Same day a Tesla Delivery Specialist contacted me to confirm the data/process and to give me the "Welcome to Tesla Family"
- My trade-in appraisal offer came 24 hours later
- Went to Carmax that week and got 1K more than Tesla trade-in offer so I spoke with my Tesla Delivery Specialist and they matched it after I sent them a copy of the Carmax appraisal. This took 3 days
- VIN number showed up 6 days later using the web page source trick
- Got Tesla SMS with "Your Model Y delivery is ready to be scheduled!" on March 18
- My bank was not in the Tesla automated payment system list so I called them and did a wire transfer on March 18
- MVPA became available on March 18
- Finished the loan process yesterday (March 19)
- Contacted Progressive to get my Model Y VIN added in my policy since Tesla Model Y was NOT available in their system yet so the Progressive agent had to manually add the VIN number in their system
- Sent the insurance info back to Alliant via email and to the Tesla Center where I'll pick up my car
- Alliant Credit Union loan was finalized and funds were loaded. BTW, got an annual rate of %2.74. Adding this info here since it's a common question.
- Got my Trade-in paperwork this morning (Fedex one night delivery). Signed and sent them back today (March 20) via Fedex. Be careful with the Fedex envelope because you can re-use it.
Now, I'm anxiously waiting to pick up my car and I'm planning to post pictures here of my Red MY LR + 20’’ Induction Wheels after I pick it up.
Tesla Motors Club members and forums have been very helpful so, hope this thread helps others who are planning to get a Model Y and have questions like I had during my process. Be safe and take care everyone
