Indeed, you need to fill out all of the information now, otherwise your order isn't officially "in". My wife's Y order got delayed months because I didn't fill out the financing information. They'd text me and tell me I needed to fill it out, I said I didn't want to fill it out until the car was ready as to avoid multiple credit pulls, they would say it's fine to wait.... until one SA told me that in fact my ETA date would just keep getting pushed out until I did. I put cash, then when they issued me a VIN number, I changed it to financing.
Your order will not be considered complete by Tesla until you complete some of that information. I'm sure this is an automated functionality whose completion is necessary for next steps within the code despite what you see presented. This is major, whereas in your mind you ordered yesterday, the Tesla Monkey will start considering you seriously only after you complete required steps. One can lose months at this stage. That said do not complete loan information if you're considering a loan with Tesla. Again, another automated function will run your credit and get you approved which approval will expire long before you can get a car. You can change your financing choice after you get a VIN. So FAKE away.

I'm a 465 also - we can be twinsies!

So small data point - yesterday my neighbor installed an update for his plaid, i don't know which version. he drove it last night, uneventful. this a.m. the thing was bricked with a red warning message, "Pull over safely - vehicle shutting down"
1) he was plugged in, 79% charge
2) he was home
Tesla service (actually, a 3rd party tow guy) had to come and dolly his car out. it was made tougher as his wife's car is on top of his (on the lift) so it took about an hour to get it out.
i'll report back when i learn what happened. since it didn't happen when driving, i'm guessing it is NOT an inverter issue as i think others have had.
from reddit, i'm guessing it is a partition issue or possible corruption in the SSD in the computer.
i mentioned to my buddy with the polestar 2 - and he said even with his many firmware problems, the PS2 never bricked.
you do expect better of a $140k car. if nothing else, being serious, maybe redundant firmware storage.

Wonder why they recommend the Model 3 Track Package at the end of that post?
Redundant firmware storage does not make a lot of sense. It is written to solid state as it is, if it was written to a RAID or simply copied to another location it would not save you from a code bug anyway. Solid state in this case rarely fails- I expect this is a code problem if computer related at all.

Probably either an error or Tesla is referring to both collectively as Track Mode.

Yeah--saw the thread--I'll get some testing scheduled. Timeline is somewhat dependent on when Track Mode is added to the FSD beta release train.

Ok cool! Didn't want you to be like "who the heck is this guy lol"!
And sounds good re Track Mode! I heard that a new Beta version is rolling out now. Hopefully that means Track Mode for Model S!

@planetary Thanks. That was what I was looking for. Now to see if anyone knows how easy it would be to remove a sticker from a sticker since the car is PPFed already.
Piece of cake. Removing a smaller piece of PPF off a larger section is no issue. Do this quite often.

Thanks, that's good since the new (and all future) stickers for California is yellow. Almost makes me glad that California is sunsetting the sticker program in September 2025 so I can take it off sooner. Current Clean Air Vehicle Decal | California Air Resources Board

Yea those CA stickers suck. Was looking at some used M3s in past as waiting for our LRMS and saw some great ones but they had those nasty big stickers all over the back and had to just click past them! ;-)
thats what I got when I had the rear drive unit failure. It told me to pull over safely vehicle shutting down. Then I got an orange fault stating rear drive unit temporarily disabled.
I really wish CA would get with the program and make an EV license plate.
Yup. Good solution for anyone thinking of bumper stickers (yuck) too. Makes a clean removal a breeze.
I only used one of the 4 (?) CA stickers. Hideous things. Small one applied to rear quarter panel. Never been an issue on 2 cars over 4 years.
WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRIENDS CAR!!???!
