Just uploaded insurance. Remember in california you have 30 days to insure a new car. Your insurance cover the interim
 
I got a text from Tesla 12 minutes after my VIN text offering delivery tomorrow. I replied I wanted a Delivery Center Pickup at Marina Del Rey. In the mean time - I uploaded a current insurance card for my Honda - I think in California, they (and it said on the app) just need a current insurance card - not one with the VIN specifically. So I used what I already had. Then I called Tesla from a previous number I had spoken with them. Just booked my pickup for Friday morning. So far, Marina Del Rey (Los Angeles) has been low pressure and accommodating.

2 Interesting things:
1) The app REALLY wants you to use Plaid. I had to search for a non-existent bank several times til it finally gave me the "Exit" button...from there, you can manually input your Acct # and Routing Number for an ACH transfer of funds. This is what I will do for my down payment. I already have the promissory note ready to fill in and sign for the remainder. Tesla dude was all on board with that over the phone - and I confirmed I wanted to inspect the car first. No problem!
2) Turning on the App now, it asks you for Bluetooth access to your device - so PhoneKey action...
 
For what it is worth I called Tesla SA again. Don’t know what facility but the lady said since I ordered a vehicle 2 months ago it is very strong probability I will get a vehicle by the end of the month. She said they will be producing more performance models in last 2 weeks of the month.
With that said I’m not sure any of them know what’s up. The guy yesterday said i would not get it until August at earliest. I was nice to the lady also and just said I was trying to decide what I was going to do considering the recent extension. She asked for my RN number stated “ oh you ordered 2 months ago it is a strong probability You will get the vehicle this month” she looked at the loan lock and said not to worry probably within two weeks. Guess I hold tight. Diamond hands. From the looks of it it’s mr bubbles me and Wilson left
