SR/SR+ Waiting Room
- Thread starter HelixSpiral
- Start date
In every car purchase I have done in the past, a personal check has always been fine to pay either for the entire vehicle, or whatever balance was due. You are entering a contract with the seller, if for some reason you don't uphold your end of the contract, they take the car back. (e.g. your check doesn't clear.) If there was a requirement to have a cashiers check / money order, I believe Tesla would call that out.
Congrats... I take delivery tomorrow, Monday. Smooth delivery in Plano??

hahaha!...check you out Skydreamerjae! You finally got your VIN and a delivery date! I got my delivery on Black Friday and have been checking back here to see if you got yours or not. Congrats!...at times it looked like you were about to get your car and other times it looked like you didn't even finish placing your order. Happy early X-Mas!

My sales associate told me personal check is acceptable as well as ACH transfer up to 3 days prior to delivery.

I woke up to a VIN number today! Looks like Tesla is switching to some 2nd-generation 4-digit VIN formatting; mine is “null”.
Can’t wait for the delivery text!

I need advice. I think im going crazy here, Im one of the lucky people that is getting delivery really soon (Ordered Dec 1st and Delivery Dec 23rd) I ordered a SR+ white exterior, black interior , 18" Aero, no FSD, however after doing a test drive yesterday im really liking the interior too. What does everyone think for black vs white interior and do you think it would be worth me changing my order to a white interior and pushing my delivery date until like late February? where im finally so close to delivery?

I can not afford to wait 3+ months for a new car, so I would not be interested in changing. BUT...if you are buying the car for $40K+, might as well make sure it is a car you are going to love for several years....so if it is a huge difference to you, go for it!

Honestly that helped alot. Its true I really dont want to wait much longer. Plus after discussing with some family and friends I decided to keep the black interior. Thanks again!

You started it! I am just trying to pick up some slack and hopefully give others who are seriously stressed about it a bit of humor. I expect/hope to get my car in the next 2 weeks, so am not sure stressed...but definitely JUST WANT IT TO BE OVER ALREADY!

Lol, okay dudes. My service center doesn't accept them (not related to credit). I just incorrectly thought it would be the same for others.
I WAS WRONG. You guys good now, lol?

Definitely turning out to be the strangest car buying experience I have ever had!
I have purchased/owned seven new VW/Audi/Porsche and factory ordered one BMW in my time. Sure there were bumps along the way, missed expectations, less-than knowledgeable salespeople, etc., but I certainly did not experience ALL of those things in any-one transaction on top of sheer reluctance to communicate. This is as close as I have come to venting and I still can not get an update from my SA until I send a message (and when he does respond, it is just to tell me to wait for a text from the DC).
I hope there is a survey about him and his manager... the delays do not bother me near as much as the poor/lack of communication and information.

My experience has taught me that for no reason should I bother talking to the SA. Whatever DC you are communicating with is the only place to get an answer . In my case I have someone's direct email in Vegas and he's typically responded promptly, even on Sundays
