You’re right. Why rely on anything Apple without Steve Jobs. Lock the thread.

Requested through app. Denied. Requested by phone. Told me they’d contact me back. They haven’t. Look, one way or another I need to get a 4 year old where he needs to be and my broken seat (which you delivered to me) is second place. Basically they said we just don’t have cars. I get it. Cool...

Also, Uber credits doesn't really help that I need a car to take my kids to school. This is for an issue that existed at delivery (their problem). Then they sent mobile service, knowing the problem, and the mobile service guy says i don't really carry any tools (cool cool). Now, the service...

Prediction: Apple launches their own car and COMPLETELY remakes the UI and stops caring about/supporting Carplay. I used Carplay again over a weeklong road trip right before I got my Model Y and remembered why I can't understand other people pining for it. It's ugly, it sucks. It has SOME...

Thanks. Frankly, since this board lives on but the people change constantly, that biblical version of events should just be bumped like every 2 months. It took awhile to write.

Yes, that's them. Sorry, I don't come to the waiting rooms much anymore, too busy back with other aspects of life like driving the car. 🤣 🤣 🤣

Worth noting that I glossed the trade in piece. I used Carvana after getting quotes from all over, including Tesla. DO NOT TRADE YOUR CAR for a bad price to Tesla because you think it will be easier. Carvana couldn’t have been easier. Online quote. Showed up to my house day after I got the Y...

Yes I agree with that completely. Tesla is failing to offer even basic guidance. Jeez just make a short animated video, you can afford it Tesla.

Yes, I suppose 60k in a duffel bag can make LOTS of things easier. 🤣🤣🤣

My card is always in my wallet. But I suppose the confidence that some leave home without it is itself a level of confidence that it works. I heard that the Mach E fails a LOT.

The other thing that really came out was rear seat legroom. I also heard reports (but admittedly just Youtubers) that the tech on Ford is a little janky. I will say so far, the tech on Tesla is flawless. My phone as key always works, settings always remembers. Simple handoffs from primary phone...

Also a couple more gratuitous shots for fun. And sorry it’s been harder to keep up with the fam here since delivery.

Ok, here's my full summary. I'll try to hit all points and pitfalls. I ordered in early August (profile complete about 3-4 days later), received the car (Colma, 40 miles from Fremont) on December 28th. Ordering: I, personally, loved the Tesla ordering process. Except that, and this will be a...

Sorry, got it. Loan through DCU. About to post an epically long thing about lessons. DCU should make everyone nervous if that's your plan. Pretty incompetent. But got it done in the end and cheap as hell compared to any other option. So glad it worked out.

Used Plaid for down payment. Loan (DCU) via check. I kind of wanted to avoid plaid entirely but that was the step I decided just to take the easy road. It worked just fine, really seamless for me. Also should be noted I knocked SAs universally here. Once I had to actually start calling Tesla...

Yes it was near flawless. There was a bit of unremoved plastic wrap, dirty hand print on the drivers door that wiped clean with a damp towel, and the rear seat release is a little sticky. But as far as the body and assembly there was nothing I could find and I went through two inspections off...

Couple of photos from the pickup. I’m planning a pretty long post about the whole process, but need a laptop for all that typing and I’m too busy selling my old car and installing accessories. 🙂

Bioweapon defense mode for one. Double pane glass in front from when I started looking. Probably others. Yep, there will be new features always I guess is my point. If you want to wait for them is up to you.

Others have already said this. But here's my thought. The day I decided to order a Tesla (I looked at every other competitor and drove 4 of them, so I'm not like a "Tesla from day one" kinda guy) I knew that there would be features rolled out after I bought it that I may or may not have. So, I...

After never really having a SA and now having to call Tesla like 5 times over the last two days, here’s what I did. Google Maps any sales or delivery center. Call the number. Anyone who answers seems to be able to help. I did have better results when I used a local center than when I went with...

Not sure about the version with the signature but here is the OEM version. https://shop.tesla.com/product/wall-connector-color-matched-faceplate

Awesome inclusion of the golf bags photo.

In a weird thing, I think I may have seen my actual car on Google first. Someone added location photos 24 hours ago of their pickup at my DC. Right next to their car is a red/white. It’s not the most common combo and I know mine was there by then.

Nice! Glad you got the match finally. All your accessories installed yet? 🤣

From what I’ve seen, it seems like they will text you what stall it’s in. You examine the car, accept through the app, and then it unlocks for you. All paperwork, keys, etc will be in the car. At some point, I think a person will come verify and then you’re off. Some people report having to go...

VIN today. Picking up In Colma Tuesday. If anyone is concerned about switching from cash, it’s probably the easiest customer service I’ve had in like 20 years. Good luck to all!

Picking up at Colma Tuesday. Stars aligned. Got to open an early Christmas present of full Tesmanian mats (frunk, false trunk, trunk floor, back of rear seats inclusive) tonight. Woohoo! Ask me anything. 😀

All set. Picking mine up Tuesday. Notable that Tesla never responded to my trade in text. Not a huge worry, they low balled me big time when they still did it through the website. Figured they would again. Carvana was way up there. Tesla never texted me at all until it was time to schedule...

Thanks! Pickup set for Tuesday!

Rejected cars will be repaired and resold by Tesla. They will have older VINs. Not necessarily bad, some view them as having been extra tested. Others want “theirs” off the assembly line. I guess I’m in the latter group.

Ok so my 345 isn’t that far off given the rush. I’ll be checking the odometer at pickup of course. Post some photos once you get your hands on it, you’ve been waiting a long time!

Than I have no idea about anything. The fact they’d put that car into inventory sounds dodgy of them to me. They should have just matched you with it. But great news for you!

Naija what are your first three VIN numbers?

It’s a demo car I’m sure. Seems to be most of what they put out in existing inventory this time of year.

Congrats.

They are open today. At least, they answered for me about 2 hours ago. And no wait.

Yeah sorry, by “call on” I meant “decision to.” We are standing firm on not paying an extra percent and a quarter just because Tesla makes life difficult. We’ll see how that pans out and if I’ll be here talking about day 250. 😀

Thanks, yep. DCU will overnight the check. The situation now is that they are not open until Monday. So, the earliest the check comes is Tuesday, which they say they can do. Called Tesla and guy says "you'll probably pick up Sunday or Monday." I pointed out that I can't have a check until...

That price though :eek:

I'd probably post in a thread where most people already have their cars. That sounds very weird. Have you called Tesla?

Yep, I assume the number of holds probably is just destroying whatever crazy algorithm runs this. Keep in mind others have gotten that text. But I do think they're lining you up for to be prepped for people that fall through. And there are probably a lot of those after the holds and with it...

When did you make the call on Tesla Partners? They still haven't finalized that last step of all the documents for me. And if I may be so bold, would you care to share the rate they gave you? Was it the 2.49% on the Tesla website? I asked my wife about "what if the only way to take delivery is...

Yes to VIN. Keep in mind, I ordered somewhere in the range of 80 days before you. LOL.

Here is what I am doing through DCU. I get a check from them for full purchase price. I pay my down payment to DCU, reducing the overall loan amount. My wife did say USAA had a different process, but their rates were also higher anyway so we didn’t probe.
