Good info for some of us:

Want to trade in your Tesla? This owner shows you NEED to shop for offers

Used car prices are incredibly high right now due to vehicle availability, and Tesla is certainly no exception. If you’re looking to trade in your vehicle for a new model or even shift to another brand altogether, a recent study from a Tesla owner showed that shopping around for the best price...

God damn Tesla is so irritating. They keep changing/updating the fees on my MVPA after I submitted to my credit union. This is the third change on me now .

Oh man i haven't paid close enough attention to that and honestly cant say if mine changed from the last VIN. Which parts seem to update on your MVPA?

what is a MVPA?

Registration fees and taxes. Possibly because WA just raised fees for July but still that has been known and they should have updated their systems ahead of time.

I only noticed because I am financing everything including taxes and fees so my app said $0.00 due. Then all of a sudden it said $22 due. Then I had them update the MVPA to show $0 due on my end. Went to finalize my loan today with that “final” amount and now the app says $80 due from me.

Motor vehicle purchase agreement. Basically Teslas version of the vehicle contract that’s like 3 feet long when you buy a car from a dealer.

Same issue here as well. Just called Tesla and they still believe we will take delivery in the Jul/Aug time frame.

See above......Tesla still thinks the car will arrive within our window.

Yup Tesla is super nice! Not certain on your order but will see what happens! The COS folks are great..just ask on delivery and you should be fine...at least from my conversations.

Ohhh! Don’t get my hopes up! I had a trip planned to break her in & I’m starting to plan without my vehicle. I’m excited to see what tomorrows update brings. Ty for taking one for the team and contacting Tesla.

General advice:
Select cash as a placeholder payment option and no for trade-in.
This is to avoid multiple hard credit checks and having to constantly update your trade-in pictures/quotes as the months tick by waiting for a VIN.

Once you get your VIN, then start getting everything lined up.
Ask your SA to switch to financing and yes to trade-in (if you plan on trading in a vehicle to Tesla directly), and get your insurance policy updated.

Treat this like you were ordering a custom order car from a dealership - except everyone's order is a custom order.
Expect to wait +120 days.
When you get a VIN and are asked to schedule a delivery date, you are given a 3-day block to select a 1-hour appointment.

This is where Tesla is the least flexible - if you cannot make it anytime in the 3-day block, you won't be getting your car - it'll be given to the next person with a matching order.
I've read about people here who were able to move the delivery window past the 3 days (not including transport delays), but those are rare and are probably because of an SA being nice.

On delivery day you are either going to pick it up at the Tesla Store or you'll be doing a home delivery.
If you are paying via a certified cheque or bank draft, you'll need to have it at pickup, or if its a home delivery you hand it to the person delivering your car.
All registered drivers need to be present at pickup.
Florida laws for vehicle insurance apply, since you are in Florida.
If you are doing a showroom pickup the local SA can walk you through the basics of the vehicle - for a home delivery I'm not sure if they do anything.
If you notice any issues within 24 hours/100 miles, submit a service request in the Tesla App, and Tesla will fix it at their expense.

You are also allowed to straight up reject the vehicle at delivery.
You'll be put at the front of the queue for the next matching order.

Are the pickup dates on the weekend or during the week? Or does it depend on when you get your VIN?

Order date April 7th. EDD got pushed back 4 weeks in a row from June 21st-July 5th to now the window is August 2nd - August 16th. I ordered Model 3 LR blue, black interior, aero wheels, no fsd. About other orders like mine out there? Curious to see others EDD that ordered beginning of April.

I’m blue with white interior - May OD…

They can offer on any day of the week as far as I know. I took delivery on a Wednesday, with a choice of Wednesday, Thursday or Friday.

All days of the week.
Most likely factors include VIN date, transit time, no issues at final inspection, how busy the showroom is (how many other people are picking up/how filled are the time slots), available people to do home delivery, etc.

I ordered a M3 Standard 3/17 initial EDD was Sep-Oct. Changed it to a M3LR 5/16 and delivery date moved up to June but has been pushed back x3 now. We have the same specs (color, interior, no fsd). EDD now is 7/30-8/13

I think the way it works is that your original OD stays the same even if you switch cars. So for consistency in this group and for tracking purposes, your OD should read 3/17 not 5/16. You should get your car soon I think.

 

[blonded]

Tesla is pumping out too many cars these days to not have delivery every single day of the week!

You get a 3 day window to pick from and it depends when your car is expected to be “ready”. Some delivery centers are not open on certain days of the week (I think most are closed Sunday).

I got a Thurs-Sat window and I’m picking it up this Sat. I wanted a Monday pickup but when I texted the number to see if they can extend it to next Monday they said my SC is closed Sun and Mon currently?? Even though the website shows it’s open Mon-Sat.

I hope so, changed OD date.

Well, entered my 4 week window today. So far no change in my EDD

 

[Guy Maughan]

Well Got ANOTHER EDD today. This time it pulled in even closer and now starts Monday. Someone is toying with me if I don’t get a VIN soon. This is lucky EDD #14 July 18 - July 28. My first 10 day window. I also believe this officially pushes me past @T-J- record of 13 EDDs hahaha

Crossing my fingers for you! I’m starting to see more cars trickle into Renton SC as I drive past daily so they should be starting ramp up production again.

We have Tesla Insurance and I had to call in to have our new one added as the app kept telling me the quote was locked when I tried to add it. Still can't believe how much lower Tesla Insurance is compared to everyone else around us in DFW.
