today is my delivery day... hadn't heard from my DS so I emailed her this morning... said car should be arriving after 5PM and that delivery driver will call me... still haven't heard from the driver or any updates... is this normal??
Boy that sounds awful. Did it arrive?
Congrats to those who have received their cars since my last post! Sorry midlife that your car has been out for so long, hope you get it back soon!
update on my car. Emailed my DS who told me the expected Production Start Date is set for March 17, which should easily keep me in line for March 28 delivery. Got approved for my loan today as well! 1.99% for 72 months, so really happy that my credit hasn't moved which would prevent me from getting the best rate. I have also found out that they normally ship out your HPWC 2 weeks before delivery, but he was nice enough to go ahead and ship it out at my request now so I should have that in soon.
I think it was gpetti who was taking about issues with their electrician. I can concur with that. I never heard back from the first place with an estimate, and now I am scheduled for a new guy that will hopefully give me a decent estimate and we can get this thing rolling. I still need to get in touch with the power company to see about getting enrolled in their pilot program. If I can then my normal power use will stay at 11 cents, and the car charging (on a separate meter) will be only 4 cents (max rate is like 26 if I do it during the day, but why would I do that?) so basically I would be driving my car for nothing!
anyway good luck to you all who have recently ordered! I hope the wait doesn't feel too long for you. I know I am constantly trying to keep myself entertained!
Like you, my HPWC should be arriving soon (Hopefully Friday, but likely Monday).
According to my uncle (who has an electrical background) many electricians do not like giving estimates and will refuse/delay doing so. To me, this seems really sketchy but it fits with my experience so far. Of four companies I contacted, only one bothered to follow-up.
I'm assuming there is no service center near you? Because there is no service center where I live, an independent delivery company was organized to drive my car to me from the nearest SC (about 600 miles). Tesla asked the driver to call me and in my case the driver was very diligent. He called me when he left and texted me his location along the way - including a 20 minute warning when he was about to arrive. these delivery drivers seem a bit of a wild card in the delivery equation. In my case I thought the car was leaving Vancouver on a Tuesday but it was Wednesday night by the time the driver left. In your case it seems your driver is not as diligent.
Then why would they 1: Mention they provide free estimates. and 2: Actually waste their time to come out and look over the property? The second one being the most obvious question. This particular company, their main office is over 15 miles away from me (which may not seem like much, but in Northern, Virginia, that might as well be an hour drive). That is a lot of time to waste sending someone all the way to my house, and then have them go back to the office, and never follow up.
Also, unless the price came back to some ungodly amount of money (Like 2000$ to install a single 100A breaker and run a 6ft cable, and screw/connect the HPWC to it) then I would have gone with them on the first choice. But I am in no way going to just blindly use someone who I have never used before, and just "trust" that they will charge me a fair price AFTER the work has been completed (and I am therefore obligated to pay). Anyway, just seems like bad business if you ask me. In an area where if you search something like Angie's list for "Electrician" you get back 500 results.... you would think businesses would be fighting for you... not the other way around.
