November Orders

[toast4321]

Was going to stick with my AAA insurance but went with Costco. I'm under $100/month with top coverage and lowest deductible.

Insane savings AND extra coverage I was really surprised.

Oh I didn’t even think about Costco! I’ll have to check them out.

Re GoElectric: As long as you have an existing insurance plan that you’re not planning to immediately cancel, you don’t need to rush getting new insurance or putting the car on it as you have approximately a month where you’re covered. I wanted to get ahead of it the day before delivery and AAA basically told me to wait a bit as it’ll save me some money, and what if I end up deciding not to keep the car or something didn’t look right at delivery. Finally they need your mileage to add it to the policy so at the very least you need it in hand. That’s probably why Tesla just validates that you have “some” insurance policy prior to delivery.

How did you get so many VINs? You must be doing something right?

Excellent, thanks

Excellent, thanks

Costco is great! I ditched Liberty Mutual for them after having them since 2009 for a different car.

Interesting - A week after changing my seats to white my EDD moved up from 12/9-1/14 to 9/9-10/14. 3 months ! No VIN yet. Also interesting that the SA or system took away my edit button on the config screen after the EDD change. I need to call them and get it back for more changes. As me and my partner are arguing on exterior and interior colors. Just extended my M3 lease by 6 months from the app, so in no rush anymore.

Delivery was scheduled on 8/2 afternoon but my wife wanted the car earlier. Called Tesla and they delivered it on 8/1 afternoon.
I had 2020 M3 SR+ and I see that the build quality has been improved for sure!
Graduating this post and thanks all for the help!

Congratulations, how exciting, the wait is nearly over

I am too excited! Have to sell my existing vehicle and arrange for financing. Tesla current financing is 4.49%... I hope I can do better.

 

[GoElectricinSa]

Wow, thanks, I will call tomorrow

Update: called Costco for auto insurance quote!!! Half the price of Tesla insurance for same coverage. Couldn’t believe it, asked to repeat the cost twice to make sure I heard the quote correctly. Also much lower than my current carrier-Travelers Insurance.

I just got my first two week window as you can see in my signature. This means nothing according to the majority of you but it is still exciting none the less that my range pulled in a little. However, all that excitement was crushed when I called my Tesla delivery service center in Eden Prairie MN. The SA said that they just started filling orders for 7-seaters ordered in August!!! of last year....OUCH! She did seem a little upbeat that they would be catching up but I don't see how getting my 7-seater in August or September is possible if my OD is mid November. Tesla estimation software sucks, makes no sense how they can have so much tech in the car but such horrible tech behind their delivery system. I know I'm preaching to the choir.

She said that the only way to get the "potential" rebate next year was to have an order date after 1/1/2023. Delaying your order would not qualify. Tesla will likely raise their price if their cars qualify anyway. She said that as of right now you can turn down 1 VIN and if you delay or or reject a second VIN then Tesla will cancel your order.

I am seeing people getting 7 seaters ordered on 12/21 without FSD. I hope you get it soon.

SAs don’t know what they are saying? It’s like a lottery now. I wouldn’t take their word seriously.

for sure... also her words that in order to qualify for $7500 (potential) rebate the order have to be placed after 1/1/2023, which is not true.
Here is how sounds the original text of the bill:
"IN GENERAL.—Except as provided in paragraphs (2), (3), (4), and (5), the amendments made by this section shall apply to vehicles placed in service after December 31, 2022"

It does not say anything, that vehicle should be ordered after 1/1/2023. It says that it should be "placed in service", or in other words be delivered to the customer after December 31, 2022.

I didn't notice the missing mobile connector until I got home, so I have put it in a service request. I'll let you know how it turns out.

They did end up giving me a mobile connector kit. My other delivery issues (review mirror rattle, couldn't set glovebox PIN) were also fixed.

True. It’s only at the time of delivery.

EDD just moved out from 8/6-8/20 to 8/16-9/13. Oh, well...

pushed out from 2-week window

Picked up my MYLR today. No panel gap issues. 1 mark on driver side door, minor scratches on console, paint chip on back bumper. I used a checklist to help, I recommend it.

I put those 3 into a service call for this Tuesday, not worried about them to be honest, car is beautiful.

Hope you all get yours soon!

 

[impinth06]

Pick up my MYLR, the panel gap is much better than the 2021 and 2020 I had. Found a chip on the hood and Tesla agree to fix it post delivery.

Absolutely love the new AMD processor! Time to graduate from this thread, until the next one!
