Trade in value. Final payment. But no VIN?

[plaidmodelx]

Hey I ordered my CT on 1/9
Today I checked the app and they finally posted the trade in value for my car. Which I rejected. And now it’s asking for final payment but no delivery date or VIN was assigned. Did this happen to anyone else?

thanks,

Haha it’s in the app like that. I’m very confused. Tesla didn’t get it either

Are you financing or paying cash?

Were you disappointed with the trade-in value? Same situation here, the offer I got was less that 50% of purchasing price while my MX car is only 18 months old with 15K miles on it. I was told by Tesla that trade-in requests go to auction sites. So no different then when you try selling online at Carvana, Carmax, Driveo, etc. Same low offers—the Tesla used car market seems broken

They are at the mercy of the 3rd party buyers and what they will offer. I would think it is a pass through for them.

I had my 2023 Lightning appraised yesterday at CarMax and they offered 5k more for the trade then Tesla

Financing via Tesla
And they offered me 58,000 for a 2022 MX Plaid with 22k miles ?

Gotcha.

I was ricing a std battery XLT 23. They had it for 55. After incentives I'd pay 42.5 so probably not the call lol thanks for the info!

That is amazing what they sell for now.

When I purchased the Lightning was much like the CT. People waiting more than a year chumping at the bit to get their truck. Dealers were selling them way over MSRP. Bring a Trailer was reselling at huge mark up and the feeding frenzy was on. I felt fortunate to buy at MSRP. Then

Still a better deal than Tesla

Yeah man, been in that limbo longer. I placed my order 12/28, applied and was approved for financing 12/28, rejected their trade in offer 1/5, made final payment 1/9 which they withdrew from my account 1/12 and I got no vin yet. Of the entire 4+ years this has been the most painful and frustrating few weeks of the entire time by far.
