I don't want to beat this horse to death, but $200 for the cheapest Model 3 is still only 0.5% of its price. If they're financing, tiny fluctuations in loan rates will have a *far* more impact on their out of pocket cost.

Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room
- Thread starter Tiger

Kinda. You are legally required to have auto insurance, but you have the 30 days to add the specific vehicle to the policy. I'm pretty sure Tesla requires the proof of insurance to be provided before you can take delivery.
My SA told me the same. Both of our SA's are wrong.My model X plaid is scheduled for pickup tomorrow. The sales guy told me that it comes with the new Matrix LED headlights. But I'm not convinced. He sent me these pictures, and to be honest I'm not really sure either. Can anyone comment if this looks like the normal MX headlights? Or do these look like Matrix headlights?

If you want *proof*, run the Xmas show. Matrix-equipped cars will project the word "TESLA" on a wall. Even the latest X's (days old) do not do this. 3, Y, S all do.
They literally track charging on each car and easily see the diff between a supercharger vs a Tesla charger vs a 110v or dryer outlet. I was ok with their move, until a moment ago when a guy was talking about donating our mobile chargers that "we don't use" and I immediately thought, no I like mine in case of emergencies, soooo...

Be careful of what you ask... Fremont would probably send you 3 times rejected Model X.
you might need to zoom out. The thick white outline is also how you can tell they are not matrix.My model X plaid is scheduled for pickup tomorrow.

Agreed. I gave my agent a heads up and they verified that I am covered for 30 days with my existing policy. I took a photo of our existing policy and uploaded that to Tesla via the Tesla App.

You too? Hi ho, hi ho, it's back to July I go... as of today, they changed my delivery date for the ELEVENTH TIME today. Well, one thing is for sure... I'm not belching CO2 or anything else into the air with any car because I haven't had one since Feb 25th 2021. This wasn't how I envisioned doing my part to combat climate change.
Don’t want to say this out loud but what IF there is an accident within 30 days and the car has no insurance yet?

As a fellow de-VINner, I know how you feel. I have been emailing multiple SA's and the ordersupport email daily. Some days I heard back, some days I don't. The bottom line is I don't know when I will get a new VIN (or get re-matched with the old VIN).
And hence, more lurking on this forum/thread.
When I has my M3 delivered 03-2021 I had to have proof of insurance before they would deliver it. Are the rules different if you do pick-up or is this a per state thing?

You should verify w/ your agent but for me, in Oklahoma, with Allstate, I am covered on new vehicles at the same level as my other vehicles for 30 days. As long as I have a Bill of Sale that is within 30 days they will cover it. But I have never let it go that long. I already have a quote for the X. Once I accept the car I will email my agent to activate.

It may depend on the state but if you read the app carefully, it says something about uploading a currently active insurance policy in your name. It doesn't saw with your new Tesla's VIN. So I uploaded a photo of our MS insurance verification.
You can use your old or any existing policy, which is what you probably have already uploaded to the web site. Nobody needs insurance on something they do not (yet) own.
In my case though (Progressive, web site and no agent), all three of my cars are on the same policy. To change it, I just have to log in and delete one car and add another. The policy number does not change. I can set whatever coverages I want on each car separately. Sooo much easier than dealing with an agent, that more likely than not, will screw something up.
