This was simple lack of experience for me. Every car I've bought before was on the lot, that day, pay, sign, drive off. Only ever owned Toyotas ... before that, a couple Saturns. This is my first ... "nice" car.
Was notified by Tesla to make an delivery appointment. I made it, then signed off the finance, and paid. I ASSUMED ... incorrectly. Won't be making that mistake again ... tho, in my defense, it's not like I've lost the money to internet scammers. ... Just paid a reputable company too early.
