I'm a 2019 Model 3 owner (oh boy those were good times!)
Buying process in 2024 (model Y) is giving me ulcers....
1. [Me] I go online to add a new VIN on my Insurance provider (Metromile)
2. [Insurance] cannot find/add new VINs, it needs to be added manually and takes up to 5-10 business days!
4. [Insurance] fine with coverage upto 30 days for a new car, even if VIN not added
5. [Me] calls Tesla: hey my insurance is OKAY without VIN upto 30 days. You good?
6. [Tesla] Nope "business policies" we cannot give you car without VIN uploaded our nice little Tesla app.
What I dont understand is that I have paid Tesla cash and bought the car. Legally, my auto insurance says they are going to cover me. Why in the world TESLA wants a VIN on record is beyond me!
Anyone had this situation and what did you do?
PS: in 2019, they even accepted personal check and handed me the car w/o all these B.S on the app!
PPS: I'm first hand seeing Tesla Dictionary.com | Meanings & Definitions of English Words process [Me] goes to Schwab and sells TSLAs
