Raleigh, NC waiting room

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
Completed all Tesla and CU docs today, got the call that home delivery would proceed as planned for today. New 19" T-Sportline TST wheels were also delivered today. Now waiting on the 3.
No call no show so I reached out to learn that the 3 is still in Charlotte. The original United Road tracker showed it in Raleigh but this info has been updated also to show Charlotte (changed over the last few days). Their Vegas team was apologetic and has been very accessible and helpful throughout.

New delivery date is 9/28 (at home).

I dropped off my paperwork today and paid the balance... expecting to receive the car before the end of the month for them to get it into Q3, but if not next week would be just fine.

As always, the people working at the Raleigh Sales Center were really nice and helpful... all of the pain seems to be coming from the logistical problems upstream.

One more update... so now I've got the "real" MVPA with VIN back, and FSD added.

But my delivery date has changed from today in charlotte at 4pm (which is obviously gone and the IDA said was "just so we can get you on the home delivery schedule) to....

Estimated delivery
Sept.'18 - Nov.'18

Like it had been before I ever heard from an IDA.

WTH?


Self-update... since my IDA has been MIA since about when I paid for the new car and traded in the old one last week... and my tesla.com delivery date over the weekend came and went with no delivery... I tried calling the regular 888 number which appears to be utterly useless... the rep couldn't say where my car actually was, nor do literally anything other than claim she would "contact the delivery department" and have them call me back.

Which of course never happened.

Thankfully another user gave me a # to call for delivery specifically (888-771-2505)


So after 58 minutes on hold...right before I was going to hang up...a lovely woman answered, was super friendly, and FINALLY provided some actual information.

She said the car was still in transit but would be ready for pickup on September 30th. Which would make it 40 days to get from CA to NC.

She then offered to schedule pickup for me in Raleigh (so either they're back to doing actual in person delivery or she never got the memo NC has switched to home-delivery only a few weeks ago)- so in theory I'm now scheduled to pick up in Raleigh September 30th.

She said I'd be getting an email shortly confirming all this- and sure enough I did....not only that my tesla.com account DOES now show that delivery appointment.


I'm still pretty dubious of actually getting the car- and still fairly POed at my IDA for leaving me without a car for what's gonna be at least 10 days and basically vanishing once it happened... but it's still something resembling progress... and I've got this womans contact info in case something falls at least.

Funny enough- she's in Vegas now, but mentioned she used to live in Cary :)

Me too. I responded, but no reply. On the general AWD delivery thread, lots of folks got this text. I wonder if it is yet another Tesla Fail. I mean, here it says I can take delivery in the next few days, and I am so jaded that I am not even going to bother getting my financing lined up. Whatever...
 
They emailed me late last night for pickup of my new inventory S sometime this weekend, apparently they're still trying to decide whether it's going to be pickup there or home delivery, after a couple people told me last week it would be home delivery.
 
Final update!

My sweet baby M3 is sitting in the garage after having been delivered last night right before sunset. I'm loving the car thus far even while adjusting to some of the differences from an ICE (this is my first EV).

Congratulations! I paid for my car today and am excited! However, I need to wait around 10 days for delivery due to street construction blocking my driveway. My delivery specialist (Nevada) thought it would take about 10 days would but it might be sooner. If the street construction is not finished at delivery it could be a hassle for a while.
 
Despite having the car for 5 days now, the circus continues. I just got an urgent email from Tesla finally sending the registration paperwork that they need to register the car. First I've seen it and it's not signed on behalf of Tesla. As much as I love the car, this sales process is a joke.

A glimmer of potentially good news. Charlotte Tesla called me tonight and offered delivery in at an auto dealer and body shop they work with in South Raleigh. I was offered 1p, 3p, or 6p and due to my schedule had to choose 6p. Apparently they are bringing a shipment or several shipments from Charlotte to that location tommorow and through the weekend. They followed up the call with a confirmation email (once again from the delivery folks in Charlotte). Maybe I can really get delivery tomorrow and maybe some more of you will get similar calls. It seems like they may be doing group delivery events per the call.

Was that the DMV doc that must be notarized? Though my delivery is pending for Friday, I got a request for this also in a separate mailing from the Delivery Advisor.

That is exciting.. I got the text so maybe I'm in the queue also.
 
I think I'm in the same boat as many of you. Fully paid down payment. Dropped off the paperwork Tuesday to the Raleigh Sales Office (someone from Wilmington was there, too -- one of you? :)) including the Title application, financing agreement, power of attorney, etc. Just waiting to find out when delivery might be.

Interesting thing they told you @bkmartin -- I like the idea of getting it at a body shop where you can take a long look at it, and there are actual body repair people there to confirm paint imperfections, etc. Hope you get it without a hitch tomorrow!

Been lurking and finally decided to make an account to mention that I got the same call tonight! Never got "the text" that people received yesterday. Here's to hoping the wait is coming to an end! I picked the 6 o'clock time tomorrow.

I will see you there @ 6! Picking up my Silver AWD too.
