For the downpayment - you could either take a cashier's cheque or do an ACH transfer. For the financing part yes, you would take the cheque from the 3rd party. Your SA (when you contact them) should give you the details.

Take delivery now. You ordered in Oct so you likely ordered at a lower price than today. If you cancel you will lose your order fee plus get to the back of the order line. So you either get it now or wait till May-ish

This part "It's significant based on the videos I have seen." I have a Model Y I just picked up in November. There is zero lag at all. I think you are looking at the Netflix or Hulu apps being opened. Yes it takes a little longer to open those apps. But as far as everything else like maps etc that is needed for the car no lag. For YouTube Netflix etc you will be sitting in your car not driving when using those apps so waiting the few extra seconds means nothing for me.

I personally use Juicebox, Schneider and Grizzl-e chargers for everyday charging. I keep the OEM charger in the frunk of my Audi e-tron and plan to keep the OEM charger in the trunk of the Tesla M3LR. I find this to be the most convenient solution for my family. The Juicebox charger also qualifies for utility rebates with my service provider. I have purchased two Tesla J1772 adapters (one for the car and one for the house) and plan to purchase another one for my second home for convenience. A more convenient solution for Tesla specific owners would be to buy the Tesla Wall Connector as it and the OEM portable charger both offer Tesla vehicles with more functionality. Specifically you can press the button on the charging handle to open the charge port door when the vehicle is unlocked. Additionally, you don't have to fumble around with adapters. When I owned the 2013 Model S, I had a wall connector installed and found it to be very convenient. I hope this helps and good luck!

Looks like Tesla did put a Feb 10 deadline on all those holds and tries to clear the pipeline
I got the same message but my order date is two days earlier than yours; i.e., mine is Oct 23, 2021 and my hold was to expire on Feb 18.

Does anyone add GAP coverage to their loans? My lender says they can add it to the loan. It's only $260 just wondering if anyone has bought GAP coverage before. I do also see my insurance offers something similar but that will definitely be higher than the $260 over time.

My friend had it on his Model 3 which got totalled in an accident and he got it replaced with a brand-new Model 3. So highly recommended.
Congrats! Happy for you.Guys! I got my VIN!!!!!!!! Woooooo hooooooo!
GAP coverage if you aren't putting down a decent down payment.
I do recommend checking with your insurance though, GAP may be cheaper through them.
If you are putting down a decent down payment 10kish than GAP would be worthless. (GAP covers difference from what you owe to what the car is worth)

Thats going to be a personal decision, based on whether you think there will be a gap between what you owe on the loan and what the car is worth, if you had an issue where the car was a total loss.
In "very very general" terms, if you are not putting a lot of money down, gap coverage is something you can think about if the price is reasonable. Having a total loss, and then having the insurance pay out "what the car is worth" then having a balance due still, on a vehicle that is gone, would be an "insult added to injury" situation.
Gap insurance is something you hope you never have to execute, but something to consider if you are not putting a lot of money down. Leases normally come with gap insurance included, but I dont know about tesla leases as I never considered leasing my model 3. If you are leasing, you will want to look into whether gap comes with the lease, and not double pay.
You can always purchase it and if you decide you don’t want it at a later point you can cancel it and get refunded and it will be prorated. Or if you ever sell or trade it in before the loan is paid off. Cancel and get the nice little refund for the remaining life of the loan.
