Ordered a personalize license plate a while ago. Suddenly DMV sent me a notice to pick up the plate. Also heard about federal tax incentive fading out by the end of the month. It was already Saturday June 22. Only 8 days left.
Clicked the button on tesla website Sunday morning. 3 hours later received a call from SF tesla saying there was an inventory car. The previous guy ordered the car but simply didn't show up so the car stayed in Fremont factory since early June. OK, cancelled the customized order and placed the new order.
Tuesday received a call from Dublin tesla saying the car is here! OK, emptied out Prius Prime and drove to Dublin to trade-in and pickup. 39 miles when picked up.
From ordering to picking up: 2.5 days.
Of note: Carmax's trade-in offer is $1,300 lower than Tesla. Considering the sales tax savings, Tesla offer is pretty good.
