Wow, you're still getting tentative dates? It is important to highlight the word "tentative" My delivery advisor wouldn't dare. Mine only says "late september" now. Just curious, what took you so long to pay in full?
Aug 10: I got an email from a delivery specialist with charging information and how they needed my trade-in title to consider a trade -- this was my first contact. Immediately replied, but my IDA would only read my first line of each email, and I tried to explain I don't have a title as its on an active loan. Etc... Back and forth, but they seriously did not understand what I meant by my bank has the title of my trade-in.
Aug 11-13: was the weekend and my IDA was out on Friday and then Sick on Monday.
Aug 14: I call the main number, figure out this trade thing, since the IDA was not helpful, and move along. I get pre-approval for my Model 3 loan
Before the MVPA comes through Payoff and Trade in value needed to be set. Now we are going back and forth on needing to get a payoff amount, but the IDA wouldn't read my email of me asking "What day do I need to request a pay-off day for on the trade in?" It was like pulling teeth. I finally just said, does September 5th work? since the IDA would not give me a date even though I asked multiple times. This was back and forth until the 16th or so.
Let's just say the payoff seemed good, now they needed to match Carmax. That took another day. Now waiting on MVPA
Aug 21: MVPA comes in. I have a tentative delivery now of Sept 6th
Aug 23: Bank mails check.
Aug 24: Bank check arrived in Vegas. I make an ACH to fully fund. Tentative delivery date of Sept 12th.
Check My Tesla page, delivery date shows Sept 13th. Ask my IDA why they said the 12th but the website shows the 13th. They reply with go by what the My Tesla pages shows and that the date is tentative on the car being delivered to dallas in time for delivery.
Then add the info I just got today:
Aug 28: Apparently it left Richmond, Texas. *I'd think, given this thread that they meant Richmond, CA, as I think it seems like that would be the entry point for the rail system, right?*
tentative dates;;;
Sept 11: The IDA mentioned the logistics system shows it should arrive at Cedar Springs
Sept 13: Delivery Date
Oh yeah... since the trade didn't happen yet they need a new payoff date. Wtf. This whole process has been dealing with confusion on my IDA's side about making the trade-in process as painful as possible. Hindsight I should have just took my down payment, paid off my current loan, got my title in hand, and used the rest of the cash as a down payment, that way none of this would have slowed down any of the process.
Anyways, now it seems like the car is heading by rail because of my IDA saying it left richmond, so my hopes of my current delivery date making it are insanely low.
