SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

[KirtBall]

so I’m asking to see if there is consistency based on what the customer service person told me.

For reference, I placed my 1st order on July 18th and paid the standard order fee of $100. Fast forward to Sept 3rd i decided to order the LFP model since there was one available at my location and which means i needed to paid the $250 order fee.

Based on email most of us received about the LFP option it stated… “If you choose to order, your original order fee can be applied to the purchase price of your vehicle upon delivery.”

So does that mean b/c I placed this new order (and paid the $250) , i will only get $100 credited back?

somehow my interpretation (and I may be completely wrong) was that i would be grandfathered the $100 and the $250 would be credited.

Tesla has my head swirling with assumptions, inconsistent information and false hope until i get “The Call”

Let us know!

No dice. First off, didn’t matter where I parked I couldn’t get wifi signal from Tesla. I ended up asking a service guy if he could do anything about getting the update and he said the update isn’t available for my VIN yet. Said it will be soon, but that I have to wait. No way around it.

Thanks for letting us know ...

Paramus is re opening?

I e-mailed back a forth a bit yesterday and will be picking up our LFP Saturday. They gave me an option for today (Tuesday) but the time did not work. Paramus is open.

I did. Ordered 7/10.

June 28 NCA order, home delivery in San Diego scheduled on Friday (even though I live close to the Carlsbad delivery center), got the email from Tesla as well as VIN last night. LFP would've been fine too in sunny San Diego weather and for the short daily commute this car will be used for, but the SA had guesstimated that it may not arrive any earlier than the NCA, so I stuck with the original order. I had not received any email from Tesla either suggesting that ordering an LFP version would accelerate delivery. Thanks for all the discussions on this forum - I will be sure to use that build quality check list that someone had posted here and that I printed out...similar check lists can be found by Googling too, but I think that check list will help me spot any issues that I may have otherwise missed.

On my order, both were applied.

On my order, both were applied.

Would you be willing to share a screenshot?

Did you email [email protected]? I kind of just figured if I emailed them I wouldn't get a response lol but I will try that!

i guess i am trying to understand which order fee amount were you credited?

were you credited $100 or $250?

[KirtBall]

Oh so you

Oh so you were only credited the $100 from your first order. Which means when we placed the LFP order we got suckered in and paid $250 due to their order fee increase

No, I should have posted a longer screen capture. I uploaded a replacement. See above ^

The Order Fee is over and above the price for the car. Tesla increased the order fee from $100 to $250. Because they required existing order holders to make a new order to reserve an LFP vehicle, they effectively increased the Order Fee for those customers by $150. If they had simply allowed existing order holders to call and change to an LFP vehicle, without making a new order, there would have been no increase.

 

[RogerMc]

We just lose it if we cancel the order. Thanks!!!

Yes, and the amount you would lose is determined by which order you cancel.

 

[ErikJupiter]

Okay this helps! I guess in the end it’s net -net since the order fee is kind of included as a mini part of your down payment as it’s applied to your loan.

I do not think this is correct. The Order Fee is not like a deposit. If you look at the tabulation of the full price for the car, the Order Fee is added to the other items. But since you already paid it, it is later credited. But you still paid it, over and above the price for the car and other Tesla charges.

To put this another way, when the order fee went up from $100 to $250, the cost of the car went up by $150.

Okay that makes sense!! Thanks for clarifying!

My SA moved my new order to my original order. Then I had a credit of $250 on my final balance. When I took delivery I was told I would get a check mailed out to me.

 

[RavaageFX]

lmk what they say!

I've been calling since 10am and finally got through.. they said the car is there but needs to go through final inspection and detail so they wouldn't be able to commit pick up today... oh well it was worth a try! only 27.5 more hours to go

 

[s2000ah]
