Just got an offer to schedule MSP delivery date of 3/3 - 3/5. Picked mid-day on 3/5.
With regards to insurance, I worked with Progressive, who was cheaper by $200/6mo than USAA where I have several vehicles, yet no autos (just motorcycle policy) at Progressive...go figure. Anyway, we set up a new auto policy with the VIN that started in an arbitrary future date of 3/31, with payment made. Progressive said I can pull the start date earlier when I know delivery, of course paying for those extra days. I then submitted the documentation as proof of insurance through the Tesla app. It was good to get solid quotes and comparison shopping.
The next day I happened to be near the Tesla dealer and stopped in and chatted with them...wish I did that first. They did say, despite the app saying 100% the opposite, that not providing insurance with the VIN would not affect the delivery date.
As a first-time Tesla buyer, I feel like a young horse getting "broken."
Would like to hear more experiences of those who did an ACH bank transfer after viewing the car, or if I should get a bank check. The Plaid app is not an option to me (principles).
