Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

[Pheezus]

You can check my signature, I ordered on 5/16. it's been 39 days so far. There are people that have waited around 70-80 days as well. If you just ordered, i can almost guarantee that you won't see your car for a good while.

Ah, that makes sense. I went through the thread a bit and couldn't really get a good grasp if it was more like a month or 2 months, or 6

Not less than a month and possibly more than 6. Somewhere between there you should see a car…even if it’s not yours.

I got almost insta-approval, within seconds.

Yes, same for me. As soon as I refreshed the page it was approved.

 

[dynamicaljon]

Yes, same for me. As soon as I refreshed the page it was approved.

Ditto, I did the approval in the store and like within 5 seconds of walking out I got the text that everything was g2g.

 

[HVoltage]

Be happy you at least got a VIN!
I would call the Service Center and ask what can be done since there are no appointments available.

Got the text to schedule delivery (got VIN earlier today) but no appointments are available

Portland, OR

They must be slammed getting cars out. I'm picking up tomorrow morning in Portland and when I asked about getting an earlier delivery they said they really didn't have any openings otherwise I would have been happy to pick up yesterday.
I guess I should feel lucky I have an appointment at all...

SA got back to me out here in SoCal, said i should be hearing from delivery soon so im guessings its gonna be a quick thing once I get a VIN.

Hey guys officially took delivery today! Ordered on 5/27 took delivery on 6/24 less than 4 weeks, I’ll take it!

OHHHHH! Nice preview of what my M3 will look like! I am waiting for the all black and have the Rimetrix. I'm excited!

Still waiting for approval after about 4 hours. I have an excellent credit score (800+) so I’m confused as to what is taking so long.

Has anyone had any issues paying with a bank certified check? I've even heard people saying they had no issue proving a personal check either. Thanks.

 

[GoldCountryCA]

I was told I can just use a debit card. Is this not true?

 

[bcombs128]

Does anyone know the typical length of time from submitting the Tesla financing information to having a credit decision?

Mine was less than 10 minutes.

I have heard people playing with a personal check but my SA told me wire transfer only. I then asked if I could use a cashiers check and he said yes you can do a cashiers check.

Not true. I would have loved to use my AMEX to pay my down payment. Unfortunately you cannot.

I don't know about in person options but when you pay online, they push you to use Plaid. I wired money from my Fidelity account but Plaid told me I didn't have any eligible accounts, but then there was a button to manually enter banking info. So I entered my Fidelity routing and account numbers and it went through no issues. Just FYI for anyone hesitant to use Plaid.

I would have loved to use my CC for some of it. 0% introductory and points, but alas.

Any credit feezes in place?

 

[TeeTruss]

Was told I have to wait until at least 2nd/3rd week of July now. Issues and issues have being going on, and their customer service is the worst I've ever had. "don't take this with a grain of salt- but between the 12th-20th of July"

I'm putting a pretty large down payment down and have been approved by a third party with the balance. Not sure how that will work with a 3rd party bank. Once I get my vin and payment details, should I then contact the bank to send over the money? I know it's not like a traditional dealership, so not sure what the process is. Thanks!

What did you select for payment method when completing the order? There’s a whole link for 3rd party financing information on there. Follow the directions, once you receive a VIN, and you should be good.
