So I took delivery for the car last weekend. Afterward, I got the email from the delivery team saying that I should not drive the car until the registration packet is arrived. I should have done better research and not taken home delivery from TX service centers, but from other states like KS. That's way I could still be able to drive with a temporary tag.
Fast forward today, I just got impatiently and contacted the service center to ask about the registration status. They implied that the registration packet is already completed. However, due to not test driving the car and living in OK, they are not going to send the packet until the 7 days return period have been passed, which means it will only be sent by the 14th of this month. I told him that is ridiculous since I had to pay everything (loan, down payment, trade-in) before taking delivery to get it ship from Phoenix to Dallas and then delivery to my address. Basically I pretty much committed to buy the car and will not return it back.
They said this policy is a workaround for state that does not allow direct sale from Tesla, which I think it is a lot crap. My state does not allow Tesla to sale directly, but not like they prevent Tesla prevents to fast track registration and especially it is coming from CA DMV and not my state. At the end of the call, the person on the phone said he would try to have it expedited if somehow they know I am not going to return the car to them. Not so sure now if they would do anything to have it send early or just wait until next week and send it out.
