I placed the order around 7pm EDT on Thursday (4/18). I got a congratulations call about 15 minutes later from the used sales advisor that I had earlier emailed asking for the Carfax and a few details about the car. Then later around 9:15pm I got a call from someone else congratulating me and asking if I had any questions, and encouraging me to complete the details on my online account (driver’s license, proof of insurance, etc). I asked if he would be my delivery advisor and he sort of hesitated and said “yeah, but I’ll be passing your case along to someone else”. I sorted out delivery location on this phone call; I’m not going to have it shipped to me but will be flying out to pick it up and drive it back. Apparently you have to be a MA resident to take delivery in MA, so they said they’ll be shipping it to Paramus, NJ for free. Works for me because it shaves a couple of hours off my drive home to western NC.
I haven’t heard anything from Tesla since Thursday night. I completed all my required uploads on Friday. So far, I’m not too bothered by the lack of contact. Like I mentioned, I didn’t actually need the car until October, so it’s financially advantageous to wait longer to take delivery. On the flip side, I’m really excited about the car and want to drive it already. But after reading this forum my expectations about communication from Tesla are extremely low, so I guess they can only pleasantly surprise me or reinforce those expectations.
