I ordered a M3SR from inventory a month ago, and finally got a delivery date (day after tomorrow) after a bunch of time and effort.
Then the silliness began ... the numbers changed four times. Then they lost my referral credit and it can't be added back now. Then they sent me a revised order agreement a couple days ago, at $3,000 less than the original price. Yay! Then they quickly emailed me and said sorry, that was a mistake. Downer. The lender apparently locked in that erroneous price, though, so today they tell me I owe another $3,000 down ... and if it's not settled by day after tomorrow, I can't take delivery!
Unfortunately, they don't take personal checks or credit cards, so I had to quickly link my bank account to Tesla Plaid for direct draw. Now they say the draw won't happen until 24 hours from now, which will put it only hours from delivery! Yikes!
Then they call me an hour ago (3:30 local) saying they need another insurance card because my policy happens to expire before their required 60 days after delivery. Fortunately I already have the renewal card, but they say they have to have it by 4:30 today! I texted it, but I haven't gotten confirmation they got it (since the number is some kind of main number, complete with robot lady and phone tree). I requested a callback, but it hasn't happened yet.
This isn't all, but it gives you a flavor of what I've gone through. If everyone had this much confusion and trouble I doubt I'd be seeing so many Teslas on the street!
