I took delivery of my car on 6/10 and told that registration should take 30 to 45 days and the title 6 to 8 weeks.
Since I hadn't received my registration (and it's been 43 days) and my bank is more forcefully complaining that they haven't received the title yet, I emailed my DS last Friday asking when the paperwork was actually sent (I was hoping it would reassure the bank). Since I didn't hear back, I finally called the secretary of state and I found out that apparently the paperwork hasn't even been submitted (or at least they can't find anything using the VIN, or the application's serial number). :scared: The rep at the DMV told me to call the dealer back and also gave me the number for the state police ?! I guess she assumed I had been scammed after she checked the temporary tags and noticed that my wife's driver's license was used for the car's VIN :cursing: The rep also told me that Illinois required dealers to submit title application within 20 days. So now I'm not only worried about the bank raising the interest rate (I have 2 months to get them a title, and the DMV claims 6 weeks once they get the application), I'm also worried about getting pulled over with a shoddy registration.
I've tried calling Tesla today after talking to the DMV and I finally got a hold of my DS but I got excuses about being short staffed and some promise to look into it and call me back. I'm not feeling very confident right now but I guess I'll give my DS 24 hours.
As much as I love the car, the delivery experience (particularly communication) wasn't exactly great before but they seemed understandably busy, but now I am positively mad. Anyone else in Illinois still waiting for their paperwork too ?
