That's not Tesla. Various jurisdictions impose a fee on every new tire sold, to pay for tire recycling programs.Now they've added a BS $2,50 'tire fee'.

My understanding is that you only need proof of current coverage on any other car. I uploaded to app a copy of only my current car's coverage. In fact I didn't even bind coverage on my M3 until 3 days after I picked it up (Geico has a 30 day grace period).
Seems odd they would ask for proof the M3 was insured when you don't even have the car yet. Maybe they do it differently if you're financing. I paid cash, which might be why they didn't require proof of coverage on the M3.
yes, and MO it is $2,50 per tire.... but only when you replace them. Either the M3 they are offering me only has 1 tire or someone at Tesla doesn't know what they are doing
just bought a car 2 months ago and there was no 'tire fee'.
They required proof of insurance with the VIN, policy NO, effective date and expiration date
Now the App wouldn't let me get 'past' plaid. I guess I have to so that I can set up an appointment [because the app tells me it'll notify me when I can set up an appointment even though it also states EDD of 9/12-9/16 but the only payment option offered is plaid.
What a screwy system.

I'll pay the $2.50 bs tire fee. SA just texted me and said the car is 'in transit' and should be here soon and that is why I cannot schedule an appointment yet.
My EDD is now a confirmed delivery date of 9/21.

My order info shows a $7.00 tire fee lolNow they've added a BS $2,50 'tire fee'.
Does CA have a a tire fee of any kind? MO does, but only on replacement, not on initial purchase. And the fee is $2,50 for each tire. Tesla is charging me $2,50 for all 4. Makes no sense.
The last text from the SA a bit ago is "You are all set. Nothing else needed from you, no need to make the payment as you want to review the car and paying by cash. You can select a delivery date when we text you and the is on the last leg of the transit! Almost time!"
Implying that it hasn't arrived at the SC yet. The SC is between my home and work. About 1/2 way, 5 minutes each way.
With my EDD going from Dec 2022 to a 4 day window within a few hours today and getting a vin that is 344xxx [not very fresh]; it seems to be a redirect to me for whatever reason. Would they ship a vehicle from, say Chicago, to St Louis to close a transaction in this quarter [assuming I'm the closest buyer with this configuration]? I'm certainly overthinking this ... is this any way to run a railroad?
Tesla offered me about $4k less than other vehicle outlets that buy cars [about 10%]... just sharing that as a data point for others.
I just feel like this whole turn of events is so unexpected and surreal.

This Missouri government site says $0.50 per tire sold at retail. How that translates to $2.50 I don't know. I'd be surprised if Tesla was nickeling and diming people for something so obvious on the bill. It seems a great way to draw a class action law suit.
At least you dodged the $0.50 fee for lead acid batteries...
Yes, you are. Take some deep breaths, relax, and go through the transaction process. The car might be perfect. Just inspect it and accept it or not as you like. There are so many reasons that the prior deal might have fallen through.
Good luck!

I’d guess the math goes 4 wheels plus a spare equals $2.50 but teslas don’t even have spares
Again... logic?
Never the less. I'm less worried about the cost of a regular coffee [or 1/2 a coffee at starbucks] than I am about how good are the systems?
Where do these numbers derive? Why stop me at the pay point with only one choice, plaid. Some things/steps seem so unmanaged.
Well I just got my text at 7.40pm this evening to schedule delivery! I had a date range of Monday 19th to Wednesday 21st September. I went with the Monday at 5.30pm. Was hoping and still am slightly that it’ll be ready earlier so I can pick it up on the weekend instead of leaving work early but it’ll work if not.

Yes please pay the fee or global will kill us all for certain.Now they've added a BS $2,50 'tire fee'.
Yes. And I texted the SA told him this and he said what I posted above.... no need to do anything more... yet the app doesn't give that option so I'm posting to alert others.
I agree completely on all points. With regards to the subscription idk what there plan is. The fact they are raising the fsd but keeping the eap and subscription the same makes me think they know the writing on the wall. I think only 9% of teslas now are buying the fsd package which is staggeringly low
