So that was a *sugar* show. I showed up to my appointment without an MVPA and they said no problem, we'll get it generated.
They were running a little behind so an hour after my appointment time they call me over to sign papers, but the contract they are having me sign has no mention of my trade in. So they are like crap, it's going to take an hour to generate a new contract. That was try 1
Let me just say that if you financed through tesla the contract they have you sign is ridiculous. It has no meation of the $3,500 you already paid and no where on there does it list the amount you're supposed to write a check for. Making the whole thing extra confusing. Instead the amount you owe them is written on a little sticky note.
So then they come back with contract #2 this time it has my trade in, but they have mysteriously reduced the amount from financed and increased my rate? So back to waiting another hour for a new contract.
On try 3 the contract looks correct except this time the little sticky note that shows how much I owe them in cash has mysterious increased by $1,000? I get out my calculator to show them that the number they wrote down is wrong. I refuse to sign those papers until I talk to my IDA who I miraculously get on the phone (I actually had a really awesome IDA, the contract stuff wasn't his fault). I have him send me and the delivery center an email showing the unpaid balance I owe.
So Try 4 with email in "hand" everything finally looks right, I sign and get my car (4 hours later).
Oh and by the way it has deep scratches on the underside of the front bumper, but oh well I guess that's what due bills are for?
Overall this was definitely not an improvement over the dealership model in my opinion, it's just the way the pain is inflicted is different.
Love the car though.
