I'm sure they must "test" certain things all the way through the process. I wonder what they "test" that late in the game to pull it back. Maybe someone has some insight...

You should have the payment section completed. You can select Cash now and change it later once you get a VIN.

I wasted 3 months as I had left it incomplete.

Thanks, It now shows 3/4 sections complete. Trade in is pending on payoff amount, trade in value is 2.5k less than CarFax though as well.

Delivery scheduled! It’s been pretty seamless so far

when is the vin listed? I got my two week window (2/23 to 3/9) today (2/21).

Hi there, I'm currently waiting for the actual delivery date for mine but I'm at a loss on the actual process. I don't know if you're financing your M3, but at any given time in the purchase process has it given you an option to give a down-payment?

I was looking to finance part of the car and putting down part of the payment. Any insight on the purchase process would be helpful, thanks!

@GrabberOrange I’m picking up from Scottsdale and I’m waiting on the text to schedule delivery. When I got my vin, I called Tesla to change my profile from cash to third party financing. They asked me how much I was planning on putting down and they updated the MVPA and my app reflected the down payment amount due to Tesla. Hope this helps.

I was looking to finance part of the car and putting down part of the payment. The bank that I'm looking to finance it through (Pentagon Federal) says that I have to give the down-payment to Tesla, but seems like Tesla only wants 1 final check. Who did you give your down-payment to? Bank or Tesla?
If Tesla, is there an option that pops up for me to do that then?

I want to start my trade in process so I’m not rushing since the quotes only last a week.

Verify this, but I am fairly certain that trade in offers last 30 days or 250 miles, which ever comes first.

Oh, perfect! That's the info I was looking for... I've asked this question around but the Tesla reps all seemed a bit lost as to what happens next in the process.Thank you for this info.

Congrats on your M3!

Told my SA to reject the 158XXX VIN since it doesn't have Ryzen. I waited this long, might as well get the new CPU rather than someone else's rejected car

Random but just saw this for some reason, got mine Feb 5th in NJ with a 158xxx Vin with ryzen and all the new goodies

You as well! I immediately called Tesla when I got my vin because my bank wanted the updated MVPA for the final approval. Hopefully the scheduling opens up for our deliveries soon!

Wow. I ordered 12/31 and still have a month long delivery date lol. I don’t think I will ever understand how tesla figures this stuff out…

I recall seeing on this thread that some 15xxxx VINs had the upgrades and some did not. The upgrades became more consistent after around 16xxxx. FWIW, I rejected a 156xxx and a 158xxx which did not have the upgrades.

I had my down payment in an account with the same credit union I was using to finance my car. When it came time to make the payment, the credit union did one wire transfer which included my down payment and the balance that I financed. Smooth and easy.

Oh, great idea. I'll ask my credit union if they're willing to do that! Thanks!

Same config and we got the same 2/18-2/14 EDD on the same day (2/15). Yet you got your vin today and I got a pushback.

I've seen some people mention how not completing payment has delayed their delivery window significantly. I'm leasing my vehicle and have no option to give a down payment or anything but I have been approved for a lease through Tesla. Is there anything else I need to do to expedite delivery?

EDD 4/23-5/20
