Always bring a certified check with you. You do not need to pay ahead of time and should not pay ahead of time. Especially during end of quarter (March, June, Sept, Dec) because they will sell your car twice to pad their quarterly numbers. Once they have your money, their incentive to deliver you a car goes way down. I've learned my lesson. Hopefully this can help others out in the future.Well, one week has gone by and no VIN. I have requested my downpayment to be returned to me....again. I originally paid my downpayment of $5600 on 6/16 when I had a delivery date scheduled. Mistake, please take a certified check with you for any final payments or you may have your VIN/Car removed after you pay and struggle to get Tesla to refund that money. I have since switched from Loan to pay in full, but I will certainly pay with a certified check upon delivery...whenever that does happen. My excitement is really dwindling.
