I do not even have a text number to text to the SA. I called last week and spoke to a nice SA but they really could not do much but note that I would take a car in my config if someone pulled out last minute. Also noted, I need to keep car under the $55k to get the NJ rebate.
Yes, the no sales tax, the rebate, and for some, free install of charger (from electric company) really are incentives to purchase an EV in NJ.
Well, I'm officially $57,715.25 poorer...for a vehicle I've never seen or driven. I wired payment to Tesla this afternoon and received a text message stating: "This is confirmation that all account tasks required to take possession of the vehicle are complete and nothing further is required from you." Within the next 30 days, I get to write a check to my local tax collector for another ~$4,000 for tax, title, and registration then wait a year to get the $7,500 tax credit. Yay.
Blergh. So zero response to my question as to why new orders are Apr 2023 and my order for a MYP is late May to July other than "they will change." I guess back to waiting on a largely opaque process to run its course and hope nothing's bugged or wrong.
Stinks you have to pay before you even see the car. Never heard of such a thing.Well, I'm officially $57,715.25 poorer...for a vehicle I've never seen or driven.

It's certainly a very different process from any of the other 40-something automobiles and motorcycles I've purchased over the years. I like the transparent, everyone-pays-the-same pricing. I like not being "offered" extended warranties, having unwanted accessories attached to the vehicle at ridiculous markups like $500 nitrogen tire fills, or being told, "They install that TruCoat at the factory - there's nothing we can do..." I dislike the fact that many states' laws prevent Tesla from selling direct making the buying process unnecessarily complicated and risky.

Congrats, just signed the loan documents myself! Wrote a check for half that amount, it stung a bit not gonna lie, but it will be worth it!Well, I'm officially $57,715.25 poorer...for a vehicle I've never seen or driven.

I completely agree. They should give you good credit to get it fixed. Sorry to see, it is heart breaking. You can’t let it go unnoticed for 55k car
yeah they edited it for me same order # by text, even though I asked them to call me.
But they did text that it will auto update the price. I just hope Elon doesn't raise price in the nex few weeks
I did get no options SR AWD, bunch in inventory. just getting it to AZ. Q: Tax credit is good indefinitely right not just till 4/18??

why do wire till you see the car? I'm going the cashiers check/app ACH route.

The price, once lowered on an order, won't be raised by future price increases, although a future price decrease will be reflected.yeah they edited it for me same order # by text, even though I asked them to call me.

Texas is one of several states where Tesla cannot sell direct. That means that they are not allowed to accept any type of check or even a suitcase full of cash for a new vehicle. They prefer that buyers use Plaid for payment, but I was not comfortable giving Plaid my online banking user name and password, so I chose the wire transfer option which must be completed before delivery.

Bummer. That option saved my butt for refusing used X delivery with LOTS of issues. You can do ACH w/o password if you hit back button on app.
BTW Surprised Elon hasn't worked his magic in his new "home" state. I lived in ATX and would have loved to tour the new Giga factory and accept delivery there like the European co.s Darn the dealer lobby!

Can anyone in "Northern" NJ reccomend a place to get PPF applied to the car (when I recieve it in 2025)?
LOL!!
Only Oregon, Montana, and New Hampshire do not have sales tax
I had to look that one up. I was NOT aware of Sales Tax exemption on the New (Electric) Vehicle rule for NJ. So that is a new one for me.
cheers!

An update on my delivery. Tesla texted us last Thursday and said that the car came in early (a week early). We picked the car up on Saturday and had no major issues. The gaps, functionality, fit, and finish were all good. The only issue was a round scratch on the trim above the driver's side window that will be replaced tomorrow at our house.
The SA allowed us to look inside before taking delivery. Overall delivery went well though the SA on E. Sahara wasn't going out of their way to inform us about the vehicle. I had to ask for a quick overview of setting everything up and after asking they were happy to give the overview.
As of day 3, everything is going well.
Good luck with all your deliveries and I hope they come soon.
