Hi all,
Been awhile since I posted here. There’s been a lot going on and just wanted to post the full thing now that it’s all said and done.
So I had an original order from March that I placed on hold. I took it off hold on May 25th. EDD shifted around a lot anywhere from July to November. About 2 weeks ago I snagged an Existing Inventory from the Discord Channel. I was set to pick up this past Tuesday. Great! I’m leaving for vacation Thursday and wanted to take the car with me. The car was originally set for West Palm Beach, FL and wasn’t there yet. I went to talk to my SA on Sunday about getting my original order fee placed on the second order and he said it doesn’t look like my car will arrive to Tampa on time, they are going to have to move delivery to Wednesday and he will send a message to the dealer to get it ready quickly to have before I leave. Great! I called on Tuesday just to see if it was maybe there early and the SA said it had just arrived in West Palm and wouldn’t be to Tampa till Friday then needed to be inspected. They offered to keep it in West Palm and have me pick it up there Thursday. Sure! I’ll make a detour. Thursday comes and we start down to West Palm Beach (about a 3-4 hour drive) in the car I am trading in. About 10mins from the dealer we see the car is overheating and the air isn’t blowing cold so we pull to the side of the road. I open up the hood. The serpentine belt shredded. FML. 10. Minutes. Away. I called Tesla and asked if we can tow it there. Nope, they will only take operational vehicles for trade. Okay, we call AAA and have it towed to a Midas. It needs a tensioner and belt. $400+ later it’s fixed and we arrive to Tesla 3 hours late for our appointment. After that, no issues at all with trade it or quality. Everything looks awesome. We’ve now driven over 1k miles in the last 24 hours on our road trip! It was so worth the wait! Good luck to everyone waiting for their orders and hope to see you at a SC!
