morning!
Good luck to everyone waiting, Tesla is definitely doing a push.
some take aways from my experience:
Give up on the EDD on the website till you get your VIN text or notification. As long as your profile is complete, checking daily the website is just frustration. I realized that just checking my email and seeing the make final payments notification was all that’s needed to start and finish the order.
the text you get from delivery, you can text it anything you want, someone at the DC is monitoring. They state reply confirm and blah blah blah but after just typing in one words to confirm delivery and acceptance of home delivery I began replying as if someone would respond and low and behold they did act on my replies - I was able to switch from home delivery to pickup via the text
Cash purchase up front and no trade in - once you get the VIN match, I did everything (a pain since it distracted me from work) writhing 48 hours to move from cash to loan, apply to loan, rate match and then insurance, then trade in value.
when you get delivery, everything is still confusion, reading the forums acceptance vs inspection. I ended up hitting acceptance before even seeing the car. What I was told was as soon as I drive off the lot it’s ours. So my take away was once at the lot or u get the delivery accept then schedule service accordingly.
I had some minor quirks with the car but my wife didn’t mind - smudges on some of the paint, slight unevenness with the panels (don’t know if it is supposed to be that way I checked other Y’s on the lot and it was slightly similar). I scheduled a service right away, they don’t do anything at the delivery center I was told, but at least I documented it.
