Morning all.... Just a few updates:
- I am confirmed for pick up on Saturday, 8/6 - Green check mark now added to this step in the app.
- Texted with Tesla over the weekend... car is in route to Paramus with expected ETA ~mid-week, so likely will take delivery this weekend.
- I uploaded proof of insurance - Green check mark added to this step
- I completed full payment this morning (I'm paying in cash) - Green check mark added to this step
- Confirmed via text message that I will have full lifetime standard connectivity. 8 years of standard connectivity was only for orders placed on/after 7/20 despite it now saying so on my MVPA. I ordered 10/17/21.
- Confirmed my VIN will arrive with summer tires, nothing they are willing do about it. I'll ask again nicely in person at pickup. Worst case, I'll plan to burn these up rest of the year and replace with A/S' by early December. Summer tires don't last too long anyway. Maybe ~10k miles or so. I don't want the hassle of swapping tires and wheels. Living next to NYC isn't exactly an autobahn-like experience
- Ended up selling my BMW to CarMax - Was able to get $1,500 more then Tesla, which lowered again after my 30 days expired last weekend. Completed that on Friday, and deposited their check same day. It cleared this morning. Easy-peasy, took less than an hour, as car was in almost perfect shape.
- Now driving my mothers-in-law's 15-year old POS until Tesla arrives this weekend ... Yikes! (She recently stopped driving and it's pending for us to sell it).
That's it for now... everything is now "Green" in the app and says ready for delivery. Will keep you posted on my experience from here. Good luck to all those still waiting. At least it seems the newer lead times are much more reasonable vs. the folks like me that ordered back in 2021.
