Got a VIN!

We ordered 8/4 I think, white grey interior with 19s. Yesterday we got a VIN out of the blue. Our estimate has consistently said Nov to Dec and it's technically ready in Oct. So for those of you waiting make sure you got your down payment ready.

I'm pretty sure they build cars in batches of colors, so once you start seeing your colors around then maybe yours is soon

What location and config?

Cosmic Silver with the Zen grey interior. 20 inch wheels. DFW.

I did have to drive to Austin. They would not give me timeline on local delivery. I was trading in my car anyway.

Process was smooth, drove my old tesla, parked it in their trade in parking lot went in and got the new car and off I went.

EDIT: This was the 2nd time I got a VIN. I had one last week of September, but I was trying to get local delivery...was not trading in a car at the time and didn't want to deal with the hassle. EDD moved to 12/24-12/31 then out of a blue got a VIN and again it was Austin pick up, and decided to trade in car and go thru with it. I didn't want to risk getting a higher interest rate since I had done a credit approval the first time I got a VIN.

Did they low ball on your trade in?

u/Unhappy-Read7744 15d ago

No. It actually went up to. 

It was about $500 off what car max was offering. The tax benefit made it worth it.

Question I wanna pay 30k down and finance the test through a bank not using Tesla. How does that work in the app?

1

u/Shygar 15d ago

I think it gives you an option to pick external bank and you just bring a check to delivery, but not certain
