New tesla 70D owner!

[kushari]

Nice. How did the final purchase order work? I'm curious as to what the process is.

Sorry, not sure what you mean? I basically ordered the car with the ownership advisor, then made changes online. After the week was up, they introduced the 70d, so I changed the color to the new blue color and went down to the 70d from the 85d. Then a week or so after I got an email confirming the changes, but it had already changed on my tesla.

I meant getting through the final payment process. Does the DS send paperwork? I'm financing the vehicle away from Tesla and was wondering how this process works once the vehicle is in transit.

I'm financing through tesla. The deposit is due when I sign to get the keys and sign the financing.

I am financing outside Tesla as well. My DS says I can pay in advance, or bring the check with me when I pick up the car. He already provided me the "Configuration and Final Price" document that spells out each line item. I got that yesterday, called my lender, uploaded the PDF, and they FedEx'd a check. My tracking number says it should arrive in a couple hours.

Production started on 5/4. As of just now (5/7)...production complete and in transit! Woohoo!

I am debating between getting an inventory/CPO vehicle and buying new. I test drove the 70D, loved it like I knew I would. Having some bells and whistles with an inventory vs. buying new, basic 70D w/upgraded seats maybe in September (to save up for down payment)
Which should I do???? This decision is killing me......

The way I think is a car is a big investment. You want to make it yours, the options you want, the color you want, etc. because you will live with it every day. How fast was the acceleration on the 70d? No insane mode but how did it feel?

I agree. This is a car you will (hopefully) spend much time with, so you should what you like. I walked away from a great deal on an inventory car back in March over seat color. Not one regret whatsoever as the right car eventually came along. Plus, I wasn't financially ready to purchase new at that time. If you are saving up for the down payment, I'd recommend waiting until you do and in that timeframe, keep looking for inventory/CPO cars. I was going to purchase in late June, but did so in late April because the right car came along.

Just checked and mine finished production I think as it's stuck in that weird status of being back in the queue. Yes!

Congrats to owners of all newly minted 70Ds!

Has anyone taken delivery yet? I saw someone mentioning picking it up this weekend, are they going to be first?

 

[pmoa]

I think kushari is first!

 

[spottyq]

Could the first owners (when they receive it) get their car to a supercharger and to tell us the voltage reported by the car (and including the SOC/remaining range.) Or just to take a picture of the dash while supercharging.
That information will (hopefully) settle the argument about how Tesla achieved a 70kWh battery. Thanks in advance !

 

[kaiserpathos]

Wow. I confirmed 4 days before you and mine just went into production. I wonder what the rhyme or reason is?

I went fairly basic on my build, that may be why. I think differing designs hit different queues and they can probably create a add days to, or subtract days from, the average wait time. I'm trying not to hound my DS. Turned out my car said "in-transit" a full 2 days before it was really loaded up and on the move. So it will probably arrive late next week at the earliest, I imagine. June is going to be the month of 70D I think.

I'm probably one of the first 70Ds in Canada as well as the new Blue color. I have lots of plans for the car, when I do them, I'll post pics.

Wow that was fast! Told you you may have it sooner than you thought. Mine was delivery to CM today. Picking up on Saturday, then Monday morning to have Suntek film and Modesta applied. Probably won't get it back until Friday.

No, some people live close to the factory in California, I'm in Canada, so people that live in the States, but ordered after me, should still get theirs before me. I'll probably be one of the first in Canada.

 

[pmoa]

Well either way we are all anxiously awaiting delivery. The first pics are gonna be sweet

Congrats again!

Btw, who are you having do the PPF and Modesta?

Just checked and I see 'Your Model S is in transit from the factory'! I have chosen delivery at the Fremont factory so this is possibly just a generic message.
Excited now.
