When you order something via catalog, phone, internet etc. do you wait until the postman/UPS/FedEx driver delivers it? No. you pay for it when the supplier ships it. Just because it is a car is no different. I just paid for my car (i've never seen it) and I have a contract (MPVA) that spells out what Tesla will deliver to me. Anything else will be refused and it is up to Tesla to correct their mistake. in some locations people have been given the luxury to take delivery and pay at the same time. It seems like this is not the norm. Most people, especially in states like TX, MA, GA and here in Hi, pay before the car is shipped. I don't understand why some people think it should be any different. It is just another remote transaction and it doesn't matter if it is a $1 widget or a $100K car.
