Wiki Model S Delivery Update

Jester (Dante) wears the hat.

MarcG has the goods!!!

I absolutely love the way you are messing with Tesla. It will be interesting to see if they wise up. If they do not, it will be interesting to see if they keep a straight face asking for $10K more.

Haha thanks Bill. I will definitely call Tesla’s bluff if they give the latter order a VIN first, as I have it in writing from them that this will NOT happen.

EDDs have held steady since this morning, but be sure to check back in tomorrow for a new episode of the saga!

PS: it would be Tesla asking for $12k more, since I have the original order’s FSD at $8k instead of the new order’s $10k

I just checked again and my range shrunk 2 days…to 8/26-9/3. VIN tomorrow?

I knew I shouldn’t have signed that letter @sam3194 posted. Now I am getting pushed to the back of the line for acting out!!!!

I use Chrome, and this happens every day pretty much. I'll I've needed to do is close the tab, open a new tab, and problem is gone.

That happened to me yesterday and the MVPA was being updated, you can still get in by using the direct link https://www. tesla .com/teslaaccount/product-finalize?rn=RNXXXXXXX

Tesla noob here picking up black/cream/wood/21 MS Plaid tomorrow morning. Absolutely thrilled, but definitely never experienced a car buying experience like this.

Any tips/tricks/cautions to look out for when accepting delivery? Check can be used on-site to make final payment if I “accept” delivery, correct?

Wait, you have an MPVA now? Does that mean you have a VIN??

I think the train stops in PA/NJ and then they truck down to you in GA. Edit: I’m jk, I have no idea.

I have had a vin for over a week, I went to take delivery last Thursday car had issues so couldn't. Now they lost the car, and I am out about 160k without any new info

I've seen many report that they do NOT accept personal checks or cashiers checks. This was my experience as well and on my day of delivery I received a text from Tesla saying just that (no personal checks or cashiers check). I was instructed to pay via their website which uses a system called PLAID to submit payment. The process is easy and you just enter your checking routing number/account number to make the payment.

What kind of issues?? Did you pay before you picked it up? If so, that’s another reason not to pre-pay and just bring a cashiers check

This is same for me on my delivery in June.

I purchased a model Y about 9 months ago and used a personal check to pay. I asked if that was ok for the Plaid and they said no personal check but cashiers check is fine.

All they do with a personal check is grab the routing and account numbers to do an ACH. Shouldn't be an issue.

Paid when I was there should have waited. There was some error messages in the car regarding suspension and auto pilot so I couldn't accept delivery even if I wanted to. The lack of communication is what annoys me

I made the letter and I have a car being delivered Tuesday! Do not lose hope! I have more to say tomorrow.

Dude. That sucks! That is like waking up xmas morning and finding Santa dead with no toys. Maybe they can fix it there. But If they can’t, they will probably assign you a new VIN and the process of waiting and logistics are terrible these days. Keep us posted!!
