I'm curious what happens when you paid for your car right before delivery and then reject it due to unfixable issues such as bad paint.
Has anyone done that here?

This. x1000.First, never pay for the car before you look at it. Tesla will continually prompt you to pay, but don't -- for the very reason you cite. You may reject the car, or the car may not ever show up. Once they have your money, it will take weeks or months for Tesla to return it if you reject the vehicle. I went online to pay on a Sunday after I had checked the car out. Have a personal check handy as a back up on delivery day. It may take weeks or moths for another vehicle to be delivered, and they would have your money the whole time. Don't let this happen.
Make sure and take your Bank routing number and account number. I also took a personal check, just in case the system was down.Ok that sounds like a good plan then, I'll just show up on delivery day and after inspection will go to the online account and submit the ACH.
I don’t think that’s ever happened, cashiers checks cannot bounce.There have been numerous cases where people have paid with a personal check only to have that check bounce. Same with bank cashier’s cheques. So I could understand why a seller, like Tesla, would want to wait until a check clears before turning over the merchandise to a buyer. Wiring the funds guarantees that the seller gets their money, so I would think that might be the only way Tesla would release the car on delivery day. I know that in the real estate biz, escrow and title companies won’t accept anything but wired funds in order to close on the sale; if a personal check or bank check is given, then the sale won’t close until the check has cleared - which can delay the closing at least a week.
That’s why they are called “certified checks”.I don’t think that’s ever happened, cashiers checks cannot bounce.
Well, per Tesla’s website, in the FAQ section, Cashiers/certified checks are an acceptable for of payment; so it can’t be too bad a problem for Tesla…Fraudulent cashier's checks have been a thing for over ten years. Many places won't accept them due to so many of them being passed. I have a friend that sells classic Corvettes for a living. He has a whole stack of them on his desk.
And they do, take cashiers/certified checks at the time of delivery. Yup, they do indeed.That's fine. I was mostly commenting on the two posts talking about cashier's checks "cannot bounce" and being "certified." If it's not a fake check, that's true. But fraudulent cashier's checks are rampant. So much so, that many won't take them. If Tesla does, that's great.
They are not commissioned based.what happens if you reject a car? I'm picking up my car on Sept 20, and was wondering what I should be looking at in case I don't (travel or issues with the car).
I understand that they will un-match my reservation with this VIN, and I'll have to wait for another VIN to be matched.
My questions to you all smart people: what has your experience been with Tesla on this? Will I get pushed to the back of the queue? I see new orders have estimated delivery for April. I don't want to get delayed by another 6 months....
The SA told me that I'll be put at the back of the line, but that could be because their job as a salesperson is to scare me into not turn-down the final sale - even if there are issues with the car that I'm not comfortable with...
