Delivery time to DMV package receipt

[jplanaux]

I'm going through delivery hell - but - I have my car. It has been sitting in my garage parked for 3 weeks. I can't drive it, I can't sell it. It was funny, but it's not so funny any more. I think this problem is more common than I thought.

Tesla won't return my emails. My state will fine me if I do not register this car in 40 days.

I am thinking of contacting the state AG. I am also thinking I need to contact a lawyer.

Tesla wants to sell and deliver cars, but they can't supply some paperwork. Isn't this kind of paperwork mostly generated by computer? Isn't Tesla a company that can do technology well?

In California you leave with temporary plates and have 60 days to file the paperwork. In my case I had my permanent plates within 3 weeks. States that don’t let you drive the car until you register it make things very difficult on car buyers.

For both of my cars and also for couple of my referrals, Tesla sent DMV registration paperwork within 10 business days.

In my state, I have to register Tesla myself as Tesla cannot direct sell.

What state (not the mental kind ha) are you in. FYI in the DC area, DMV can mean department of motor vehicles or District, Maryland, and Virginia. I had Maryland temporary registration for 60 days (I think ) but got my DC registration in 30.

I've always half joked I could drive a nice car without plates and never get pulled over. So many dirtbags rolling around in Craigslist hoopties that cops don't have time to pull over nice "new" cars. This doesn't help your current situation, unfortunately. YMMV.

I had new plates on the car before I left the Delivery Center. I'm in MA.

Title will come in a few weeks.
