i couldn't stand to wait for delivery so took what seemed to be a 17-hour ferry ride between Vic and Van and picked the car up. So I don't know if #2 and #5 work on a delivery basis. Also I think you may have to pay for the car before it's put on the truck. Here is my pickup process, in case you want to compare:I'll be taking delivery early next month and am wondering what the process is for Canada? What did you guys have to do before you drove away?

Also I think you may have to pay for the car before it's put on the truck. Here is my pickup process, in case you want to compare:
1. Pay; suffer the surreal feeling of 4x what you've ever paid before for a "car"
2. Complete paperwork with broker on trade-in (not Tesla employee, but completed the transaction at Powell St)
3. Complete Tesla paperwork including insurance papers
4. Occasionally see rest of family having fun going through car while I'm stuck with a pen
5. Decide on accessories (tire pump, winter mats, etc)
6. Get Tesla staff to install front plate (YIKES a drill!!! Almost makes me want to become a rebel)
7. Review car features with DS (brief for me as I had watched the online YouTube tutorials)
8. Picture ceremony
9. Drive away, in the rain
Somehow we were there a good 3-4 hours. And not painful at all. More than an hour was spent with the broker dealing with the car that was going, including transferring insurance. A "normal" 3-4 hour experience at a dealer is quite painful. This was all fun, excitement, and friendly cameraderie. Deciding on accessories is the owner figuring out what they want; no pressure sales or anything like that. Tesla staff are there to answer questions.
Congratulations on your purchase!!! What colour??
How do you pay for something that big?? Lawyers handle it when you buy houses but this? I have no idea...

Reminds me of a friend who bought 4 weeks at a Hawaii timeshare in the early eighties... (lest anyone gets the wrong idea, they were extremely happy with that purchase through the years, too)I had the car delivered. That meant I had to send Tesla the money in advance. I did a bank draft/money order (can't recall which), but the teller AND manager at my bank double, triple, quadruple checked all the details, as they don't see many such transactions of that size (to an unknown-to-them company such as Tesla), but do see quite a bit of fraud. In the end, it was straight forward.
Well... I could barely scrape together enough for the car itself; wrap was out of the question. But every wash, I'm seeing the several tiny chips... Aarrggh. On the other hand, in the last 3 weeks random people have mentioned "your brand-new car", so it still cleans up good!I will also add my recommendation to get a full xpel/similar paint protection wrap immediately upon delivery. I did not, and boy do I regret it. Various rock chips (big and small) all over the front of the car and hood, and just saw a fairly large gash from a rock on the lower side of the passenger door. I now know what people meant when they said the paint is soft... it does not take much to damage it.
I'll be taking delivery early next month and am wondering what the process is for Canada? What did you guys have to do before you drove away?
