Have to ask… why send the money now vs on pick up? It’s advised not to do that lest you get upset on delays or issues and such between now and delivery. Is Oregon a must pay before it gets shipped state?

Same Q here as well, just got my VIN two nights ago and paid the initial $4xxx fees but did not pay the $120k outstanding yet. I wasn't sure if I HAD to pay the $120k before they would ship up here to Seattle.
Thanks

Wired the cashish... Oregon VIN 009924 rec'd... now what?

It's been 3 minutes... so far no buyer's remorse : )
I'm in Oregon but have never bought a tesla before, is there anything I need to do to get my Vin? My Cybertruck order does not show up in app, but shows up online when I login. I just put my address in because It never asked me before.

Also in WA. I was told by an advisor that you can just pay the whole balance on the pickup day.

You might contact Tesla support about it not showing in the app to see if they can force a sync somehow. The cybertruck should have shown up pretty quickly after the Dec delivery event. If you don’t see it, there might be some disconnect between the site and app.

I’m in wa, order on 2/7 and got my vin on 4-28. It’s radio silence between these phases. I did receive a text message any time there was something in the app they wanted me to do. So I would definitely have Tesla figure out why it’s not showing up for you.

I don't comprehend paying in full for a vehicle in advance of delivery.

My first Tesla purchase in 2021 required us to reject Model Y VIN #1 Model due various paint defects.

We went to pickup VIN #2 three weeks later and another rejection due to various misaligned body panels. The rear hatch fitment was a joke. I could see the weatherstripping under the hatch and my pinky finger would slide through the huge gap.

VIN #3 was the charm. It was 99% perfect and we accepted delivery.

You are not required to pay for a Tesla in full until the new buyer is satisfied with the vehicle on delivery day.

What state are you in? How long did you wait between paying and getting a delivery date?
I am in Oregon. I have not paid the downpayment as of now. I did inquire with the Tesla Tigard and they asked me bring a Cashier's check on the day of delivery. I am surprised that you paid upfront on the app. Thanks

I said I'd bring a certified bank check on delivery day, they said I need to pay BEFORE delivery day and that won't work.

I said to my bank, "can you send a wire when I get done looking at the truck," they said they'd do it on a "best effort." From other bank experiences, I also know about 2% of wires get held up.

With all that said, I just didn't see any way to proceed without paying first. I wish the certified check at delivery worked, it seems like it should, but Tesla's dealer experience is bottom tier against legacy auto (despite what those on here will tell you).

That wasn't a choice.

It said to "complete payment to avoid delivery delays."
Ahhhh, it always says that but you can wait. Mine says that too of course as it's the default in app but I'm not paying until day of delivery. They use Plaid for immediate payment verification so it works. Just make sure to help you bank works with Plaid ok as is smoother.
