Since every seems to be having problems, I figure I’ll post my purchase story.
I placed my order on a whim on Sat, April 25th. I was actually shopping for a new Raptor and somehow ended up on the Tesla site. I saw a X that was spec’d exactly how I would order it. Midnight Silver on White, 5 seat with perforation, carbon fiber, FSD, Performance, tow package (for my bikes), 22s, 4/50 warranty, etc. Literally every option. I sent an inquiry and got a call back within 30 mins from the used advisor out of Denver. I didn’t know much about the vehicles so I started doing research and he answered all the questions I had (this was Friday the 24th). The car was listed for 77,300 and I couldn’t find anything else that was similarly spec’d so I felt it was a good price. Regardless, I slept on it and woke up to a price of 76,900. Free 400 bucks? That sounds great...so I placed the order.
After I ordered, I got an email from Tesla with some preliminary info and I called my insurance company to make sure it was good to go. I didn’t get an estimated delivery so I called my advisor on Monday and he told me it looked like the car would be in Tennessee on May 9th (the car had to come from New York). I asked if I could just fly up and drive it home, but apparently that was against the rules.
Fast forward to the following Monday (the 4th), I got an email from Tesla of Brentwood (Nashville) that my car was in and I could pick it up Friday (the 8th) at noon. I show up at noon and a guy tells me that the keys are in it, sign the 3 pages on the clipboard and he will be out in a moment. I sign the pages, program the lock/unlock on my phone, and hand the guy the check for the money. This part took all of 3 mins.
I stay in the parking lot to look the car over and I notice that I can’t find the hitch receiver. The same guy comes back out after about 5 mins to ask if I need any help. He pops of the tow cover and sees that I have the tow package so he goes inside and finds me a new hitch receiver and installs it (important because I planned to go ride today).
All in all, I was at the dealership for prob 15 mins. When I got home, I noticed the rear hatch opened from inside but not when I pressed the button so I’ve set an appointment for have that looked at, as well as the HW3/MCU2 upgrade for this Tuesday.
I spent last night installing the NikolaBros Chrome Delete Kit and my bike rack and I got some good miles in this morning.
All in all, a great experience so far.
