Oh they pull you over alright.. lol I had a no front plate ticket back in July, 2 days before I sold my car. Having it signed off, it cost me $25 to dismiss it
i also use costco insurance. best rates I have found, only $390 for semi annual. I do believe they want to see a very clean record tho

Took delivery yesterday in Ohio, with a vin of 351XXX. Not sure why they gave me a front bracket, it's not legally required in this state. Mobile connector was not included and I didn't get a voucher.
Wow! I must have just beat the rate hike. It was 3.39% on the site this morning when I got approved.
I went for 60 months (will pay it off sooner than that), but they allow the same rate up to 84 months. My credit score is 800+, but the mortgage officer did confirm best rates apply for 740+
Lol when did you apply? I actually checked their site not long ago and it was 3.89.. i wonder if they can do lower rate that’s not advertised on the site..
I applied late last night, got the approval about 3:00 PM today. It seems they increased the rate shortly after that, so I got lucky!

As you know, it was required until fairly recently - most cars I see still have front plates on. So maybe they give them to you just in case you want them.
Front plate is required here in MA, and they put it on for me, but they didn't do it until the very last step. So if I had my own bracket I could have given it to them and I'd imagine they would use that instead. So anyone in MA wanting to use your own just let them know ahead of time and it should be fine.
My delivery was kinda amusing compared to an EX's a few years ago at the same place. When we picked hers up it was absolutely mobbed, people everywhere, standing room only, Tesla employees running around all over the place, cars in every spot. And we we're there for 6 hours. When I picked up mine there were 2 employees and only one other person picking up a car. Was quite the difference lol.

They have a significant incentive to go wide because of the rules of accounting (which I think is a much greater force than impatient customers). The money received for FSD sales qualifies as "unearned revenue" until they actually deliver FSD to customers. In accounting, it is a liability, and only becomes revenue as it is considered delivered to customers. That revenue becomes pure profit, so it'll bump the quarterly net income numbers nicely.
Troy Teslike put out numbers at the end of 2021 stating that 260,000 vehicles were sold in North America with FSD. Call that 300,000 by now, just for chuckles (lots of vehicles sold, but a falling take rate). The first 100,000 have already received the Beta during the testing period, leaving 200,000 more. If the new safety score limit gets even half of those at $12,000 each, that's $1.2 billion for the bottom line, and the elimination of an equivalent liability. The numbers could be considerably higher given how easy it is to hit a safety score of 81. They're clearly trying to dump this revenue into Q4.
For those interested in such things, when you purchase a year subscription to a service, these same rules apply; initially, all the money is a liability on the company books, and each month they report a month's increase in revenue and loss of liability as they provide their service for that month.

Welcome to club CA, except ours was $750 that we are paying out of pocket
I called the number on website that administers the program. They said they have funding and thats simply not true. And to tell them(tesla) to call them of they have any questions.
They also expect more funding by end of month. But he said they have funds to last.
Kinda wondering why tesla would jump the gun. Maybe due to end of quarter push so they have cash on books. Only thing I can think of.

I didn't have mine installed either. The J1772 was in the trunk. I already bought one prior to delivery, so guess I have two now... I also had floormats, which I wasn't expecting. Did yours come with floormats too?
Floor Mats come with long range and performance but not standard range I believe. But there just cheap cloth mats.
