Hi all,
Sorry for asking some stupid questions here. I am first time Tesla buyer with absolute 0 previous experience. I placed an order on MSLR back in Jan 3rd. At that time, the EDD is 2nd half of 2022 and I wasn't in hurry anyway. I checked tesla app occasionally in the past and the EDD window has jumped back and forth couple times. Since I saw on this forum that people who ordered their MSLRs last year are still waiting for their delivery, I was expected to be contacted by Tesla w.r.t. the delivery anytime soon. Also there has been 0 contact from Tesla nor I have talked to any SA for any questions/queries until yesterday. This morning, I received a message from Tesla said my VIN number is assigned, there shortly after there is another message saying my car will be ready for pickup on Tuesday 5PM at Fremont factory . At this point, I am completely overwhelmed as I only got 2 days left to finish all the paper work. I have some basic questions here and hopefully you guys can help to clarify:
1. The tesla APP asks me to provide insurance policy.(I live in NorCal) Do I have to have active coverage on my Tesla before the delivery date? Or I just need to upload my existing insurance policy ID card to the IP? What is the point here?
2. I originally selected 3rd party finance option with ~$35000 down payment and ~$70000 loan amount. Later today Tesla sent another message to me asking for image of the check from my credit union along with the tracking number. Ofc I have nothing since I haven't even applied for the load yet. I then tried to get some quotes online and didn't receive many responses since Today is Saturday. Is it even possible for me to get my 3rd party loan approved given the delivery is on Tuesday 5PM? If not, should I delay the delivery(it is possible) or switch back to tesla finance(Can I do this without affecting my Tuesday delivery)?
3. Who will be the best contact given the current situation? Fremont store(my pickup location)? or online customer support?
I appreciate any comments and suggestions you guys have.
Thank you,
Tian
