Texas Hold Up!

[Boourns]

Thanks, guys. I must have forgotten about that from when I bought my S.

I am also eager to get a VIN and get the car. I, too, sold my S too soon, so we're doing the one car thing until it comes. *shrug emoji*

It has been brutal. Absolutely brutal. I really messed up in timing this out and lesson learned. Playing Taxidad in dropping off and picking up the wife, one kid at one school, another at another school in North Texas traffic.

This car better blow my freakin mind

That being said I didnt expect to get an offer on my S within 5 minutes of posting for the price i was asking so i really couldn't say no.

Priorities man!!!!

Kidding, I would love to get together with some passionate Tesla fans every now and again. First things first though....I need a Tesla.

That's a requirement? My plan was until I get my M3 I'll just show up to troll with my Bolt.**




** Not really, I'm SE TX in the Houston area.

Yes. Tesla will send you all the finalized documents with tax, fees, and all those other nickel and dime things they throw in there for your grand total.

What nickel/dime things do they throw in? I'm just tracking on taxes and destination fee... is there something else, and if so, how much? "TX PITA Processing fee: $700"

Anyone in Austin getting a white or red Model 3, and wouldn't mind me stopping by during pickup? I'm leaning toward white, but I'd like to see both in person before I get invited to configure as a non-owner, first day reservation holder.

I’d have to look to remember exactly but for some reason. $63 sticks out to me and some other small amounts lol

I'm still waiting for whatever happens next after the VIN allocation on Sunday. I called Chris on Monday, just got the stock answer that someone on the team will be in touch 'soon'. I really wanted it in February as it's a relatively quiet month (for me - China is basically off the entire month, so my fiddly email volume is much lower!), so I'd have more thinking and development time. But, as it is, I'm out of the country for the last 3 weeks in March, so I'm guessing I'm into April. Not a huge deal, there's pros and cons to having greater visibility into the manufacturing process, with other cars I've bought, you're reliant on the dealer, and they rarely know anything until the boat arrives. Ho hum.

Thanks for the tips up-thread on the trade-ins though, we'll have a Q5 to offload as soon as there's a date on the 3.

And sales Tax is exactly $3500

Thanks... that looks like not Tesla fees, but TX nickel and dime fees.

I wonder why these credit unions are overnighting checks instead of sending wires. Wires should actually be cheaper and easier for them.

Tesla prefers overnight checks, not the Credit Unions.

My VIN was assigned Thursday (last week), and still no contact from Tesla yet. I haven't called them yet, it seems everyone who calls before Tesla reaches out is told "We'll be in touch soon".

As I suspected, the check didn't get out last night. Credit Union dragged their feet

Sending it today.

 

[spudnik187]

Just heard from the guys at the SC here in Austin. They said my car is en route and should be here Sunday or Monday. @Kcharwood you're off the hook

Message me your VIN! The service center is on my commute every day.

Anyone in Texas get a non-owner invite today?

 

[geoffreak]

So it seems that Tesla has sent very few, if any, invites to non-owners here in Texas with this first batch to non-owners. I'm guessing they're still dealing with the owner backlog and aren't ready to start inviting more people here.

I'm was approximately 100th in line at North Park and no invite for me yet. Any non-owners seeing invites in Texas?

roughly 50th in line at houston galleria. no invite today

 

[geoffreak]

Over at M3OC, there's a line-waiter from Houston reporting they received an invite. No word yet on where they were in line.

EDIT:

Around 11AM but no clue on position.
