So I just checked the mobile app, and I got my VIN # 7128...
My delivery specialist contacted my last week for setting up a delivery date, but I was having trouble getting financing (Bethpage Credit Union in Long Island worked out in the end) so almost had to cancel my reservation. The weekend was quite a mess, I got a call from someone on the Delivery team saying that they wouldn't give me my deposit back, or let me transfer it to another reservation number. I was extremely frusterated because my Delivery Specialist, the person I had been in contact with in Financing, and the store manager where I put down my deposit had told me the exact opposite. So I emailed Elon, who replied in less than 2 hours, and said that they should be able to transfer my deposit to another reservation number.
Luckily though, I spoke to the manager at Bethpage CU today morning and was able to get a loan for $100,000 72-months @ 2.71% within minutes. So now my car is being built, and its expected to arrive on the East coast by the 21st. I'm going to be away, and plan on taking delivery on 4/19 so photos, and a complete writeup will be posted in about a month and half.
