Gents,
Been watching this thread since I placed an order Feb 7th.
Did not fully understand the online process as I had a trade in I wanted to offer. I did not like the offer Tesla gave me so I delayed a few days in completing the steps online (ended up going to Carvana as they gave me $4,000 more than Tesla or Carmax).
Got Welcome text at Feb 7
Feb 15th got a text stating I need to complete delivery location, registration, blah blah.
Feb 24 - 4 to 6 week text
March 9 - 2 to 3 week text
nothing since.
Black/Black Model 3 Performance with all the bells and whistles offered for the car (performance upgrade with 20 inch rims, full FSD, etc etc).
Im in Los Angeles.
I was assigned David Sacci who introduced me to some lady (Aidee Ramirez) who was going to help me with my trade in, ask questions, etc. I think she was supposed to be the service advisor? David was the financial guy. never heard from her AT ALL. One time David went on vacation so was forwarded to a catch all email address, to which a Nadezh Callueng wa on. told me I would be followed up on ---crickets.....
I reached out to them a few times over the week trying to get some heads up on status, but nothing. Called burbank center and they of course don't know anything since there is no vin.
This entire process has given me the bubble guts, anxiety ("am i going to get me car?" "am I going to hear back from someone?" etc..). The lack of communication has been fascinating! No one cares to even respond back to an email request from me. I mean just acknowledge you see my email, even if you can't offer any help.
On the account page I am confident my order is in because I've had all steps completed for weeks and the account page is asking me to order solar panels , etc. in essence im at the "were drafting up your contract..." page.
Despite all of this, I remain confident I will get my car within the next 2 weeks. Again I have watched this thread for weeks and have seen a couple of cats (
@ofcorona has been quite vocal and i'm happy to see he finally got his ride here in LA) and even the cat in las vegas who said he was standing down and canceling his order (I think we had almost the same build), so it has been an roller coaster of a ride.
still no "vin in source". i have one part in the source code at has "5y" in it. sometimes i've seen that appear in another place at random times but it was never an actual vin, just some site code.
=====
that's my rant, now a questions:
do the service centers have in-stock items that you can find on the tesla shop page? I have a lot of things in the "Cart" on the tesla shop page (floor mats, roof shades, etc) , but if I can pick most/some of these up on the day I will.
and is it too late to use a referral code?
Appreciate the space to rant/vent.
