Wow, I can kind of understand the interior upcharge, but I am shocked you have to pay the transport fee. It is like Tesla scalping their own customers.Yes, unfortunately, I will have the white interior upcharge and will have a $500 transportation fee. The overall pricing still remains the old pricing from my initial order date but it will be slightly higher.

I remember earlier in this thread, someone else got a call from the delivery center with a similiar deal, asking if he wanted a blue car with white interior, but they were waiving the white interior upcharge. I am surprised they did not do this for you. I wonder if you did a little pushback, they would have waved the increased fee?
White is a no go for me, but I am glad you got what you wanted. Good luck with it!
It is crazy that you wait 2/3/6 months, or even a year for the car, then they give you a strict "3 day window" to get all your affairs in order and pickup the car otherwise it goes to someone else. It is like they are real estate people and they are pushing to take the deal "NOW" otherwise someone else will. But, this is a superior buying experience and all compared to the traditional dealership model...On another note, i asked them about delivery and they said I will have 3 days to pick up the car once i get the text message to schedule delivery. I asked if that can be pushed at all, as its tough for me to get there during the week. She said if you get the text message on a Monday or Tuesday and need to push it till Saturday, thats fine. She said if you try and push it to the following week, it will automatically get cancelled and i would lose the car. Something to keep in mind for you guys.
Also, might just be my SC specific, but they do not do Uber of Lyft credits to get there. Not sure if some of it is getting more strict or if you want to drag your feet, theres 20 people behind you that will take the car.
We really like what the car is about, the acceleration, the sound system, the vast charging network, the simplistic clean interior design. Our 2021 arrived with the following:Given your bad experience a year ago, why get another this year? I'm curious what qualities made it worthwhile to go down this road again so soon.
That's a lot of stuff! I hope they have resolved most of the build quality issues by now, but some of those I'd never heard of before. Despite how eager we all are to get our cars, it's a good lesson to be willing to walk away if there are obvious problems at delivery -- if you can see a bunch of problems, how many more are hiding and waiting to be found later?We really like what the car is about, the acceleration, the sound system, the vast charging network, the simplistic clean interior design. Our 2021 arrived with the following:
Front hood sunken 1/2" below right side fender, left side was flush.
Drivers door and passenger door so poorly aligned that there was not enough movement in the hinges to correct it.
Drivers side of rear bumper was unclipped or unattached beneath the bumper, they removed it and reinstalled it, 2 days later it popped out.
Carbon fiber spoiler was not completely attached to the trunk lid
Drivers side wiper blade was set on the splined shaft too low causing the wiper to hit the passenger wiper on the down stroke. (I fixed this)
Dust inside right headlight assembly.
Rear trunk misaligned.
Headliner where the upper airbag curtains are on the passenger rear would not stay clipped up, kept falling down about 1/4"
Window gaps or varying widths adjacent to the B pillars on both sides of the car.
Drivers side rear window had some type of strange dripping stain that would not come off.
And the BIGGEST issue......a terrible vibration in the steering wheel from about 51 MPH to about 60. Not a wheel balance vibration feel, Tesla said it was most likely the shafts or front motor and would require the front end to be torn apart on a brand new car with 630 miles on it. We bailed!
I have seen a rare few Teslas that meet my requirements and we are hoping the 2022 does.....
Obviously that would be the first step, but my understanding is that most do not get that refund.Isn’t there a link to request a refund on your account page on the Tesla site? Why wouldn’t you start there instead of skipping like 8 steps to the AG?
*edit*
And while we were all frustrated to put a deposit down expecting delivery in a month, only for the app to actually tell us it would be 2-4 months, we have at least had the opportunity to request cancellation from that very moment. Zooming out, while it is frustrating to not receive an individualized apology for these delays, I think we all know enough is going on in the world that none of this is easy for Tesla, or any of their competitors. Sure, we could go buy a BMW M3…. For $90,000. Maybe spend “only” $10k more for a BMW I4…. In 2023. Few other vehicles in this price range and class are close to the M3P overall (including in reliabiliy, if not quality as well), and looking at the used market tells us everything is shaken up right now.
This concerns me a bit. The last round of push backs puts us uncomfortably close to our vacation for this year. Getting a notification that we need to pick up the car while we are on vacation is not going to go well.On another note, i asked them about delivery and they said I will have 3 days to pick up the car once i get the text message to schedule delivery.

I was going to joke around with you and say that's my car, but I see you did order slightly before me and you are actually getting what you truly want now with the white interior.Yes, unfortunately, I will have the white interior upcharge and will have a $500 transportation fee. The overall pricing still remains the old pricing from my initial order date but it will be slightly higher. They said i could re-apply for financing for the higher amount, but i decided just to pay the difference out of pocket to avoid a 3rd hit to my credit.
Its alittle bittersweet, especially with the transportation fee, but i have zero confidence in my current EDD and i am driving a ticking timebomb for a daily driver, so figured it was $500 for transportation or potentially have $500+ in repair on my daily driver to continue driving it for another 4-6 weeks.
The white interior, i am actually kind of happy about it. I like the white interior but my wife was the one who initially shut it down. This gets me the white interior without the battle.

I'm honestly just living vicariously through others' good experiences/deliveries here, so post lots of pictures when you finally get the car. The pictures may sustain us long enough to get ours.
I think you will have notice well before that though. You will have a VIN assigned first and then probably two weeks from there, given your location. I don't think you will get a VIN and a pick up notification within a day or two of each other. Maybe if you were on the West Coast that could be the case. They told me it would be a week to a week and a half to pick up my car and its only going from Chicago to Pittsburgh, which is only a 6-7 hour drive.This concerns me a bit.

Hi 8rain,That's a lot of stuff! I hope they have resolved most of the build quality issues by now, but some of those I'd never heard of before.

What happens if they call me the week before we go on vacation and say it's going to be delivered on the second day of our vacation? Will they hold it for 10 days while we are away?I think you will have notice well before that though. You will have a VIN assigned first and then probably two weeks from there, given your location.

As long as water isn't coming out of the outlet, it'll be fine.I went ahead and had an electrician come out and install the wall connector. No idea if it works though, I seem to be missing some piece of the puzzle.
