Not sure if you already answered this but when did your pre-delivery tasks unlock and allow you to move forward? My delivery is 10 days away and I find it odd that the steps haven't unlocked yet.
I got the message but when I clicked the button it gave an error message. I ended up just attaching my insurance proof to the Tesla chat message from one of the Tesla sales advisor via the app. That seem to work. After that the advisor sent the wiring instructions via the app.

Apples and oranges.
The 2019 hundred bucks was a fully refundable Reservation Fee. This $250 was non-refundable purchase deposit. I know this because I made one in Feb 2026.
No. I'm talking about the $250 non-refundable fee that Tesla has always had. I received a Model Y without passenger lumbar and they told me it was removed 2 weeks prior. I said it was part of the car when ordering and they said, "you didn't buy it, you just put an order fee. For this situation, Tesla will refund it if you don't want the car". Others were told they wouldn't refund it.

Also, they took away Autopilot from people who fully paid for their trucks. It was in development and then Tesla said they were no longer going to deliver it on the CT and gave owners with out FSD 1-year free instead.

This is standard.

Edit: There are multiple threads on TMC when Elon said no one used the mobile charger (even though it's the most used charging format according to teslafi and teslascope). It was listed on the order, people paid $250 for their vehicle, but it didn't come with the vehicle. It was actually a supply issue.

I have a VIN assigned. I was one of the early people that ordered on the 19th within about two hours of the news breaking on Twitter. The AI Chatbot says I am going to get delivery between the fifth and the 10th of this month. I'm in SoCal area.

My question is do you know if we get any perks like free supercharging for one month or free full self driving for three months anything like that?

Any idea if we can add official Tesla L-Tracks to our bed?

My other question is what kind of financing rates have you guys seen through Tesla? Navy Federal is advertising something along the lines of 4.6% APR, which in my opinion is pretty much the best out there. I have an 810 credit score on my CC apps and a little higher on Credit Karma. Perfect payment history and early payoff for life on all cars. Essentially perfect credit.

I have the ability to pay for about half of it upfront without impacting any of my financials but I'm thinking about just putting 12-18K down. Any advice in terms of how much I should put down? I have never bought a brand new car. I currently drive a legacy model X. I would just hate to have the car get totaled like two months after I get it and I've already put 30 grand down.

A supplier of mine in China made these. I had asked him to inquire about making a 100 or so of the Cerberus and he said the pricing they gave him was ridiculous. So he ended up buying a 3D printer and just got these done.

Not sure if he will make these in large quantities.

My pre-delivery tasks just unlocked!

I don't yet have a VIN. I made it to step 3 where it's asking if I have a trade in. I said no, it won't let me go to step 4. It says i can do that once my VIN is issued.

Nice. It's about time. I'm seeing the same thing as well.

I've been following this thread closely.

No options or accessories.

AI still says 2027. It used to consistently say Sept-Nov up until June 1st. I swear we're all giving this magic 8 ball too much credit.

Pay the most you can, knock off the rest as fast as you can. My personal philosophy but I have never had a car payment or paid 1 cent of interest. Yes, you get free 1 year premium connectivity ($99) and 1 month fsd ($99)​
Great advice though I have been known to take advantage of 0.99 and 1.99% to keep my money in my investments. Doesn't work for everyone but has paid off for me. Was hoping for 0.99% on the CT but if not, no big deal, I'm not financing at 4-5%.

@jamesj562 - Yes, L-tracks on the Tesla site will work and are designed for the now discontinued RWD and the SAWD you're getting. Just ordered my set yesterday. I assume orders for those will start to ramp up now that deliveries are being scheduled.

Clearly there was some glitch, im taking delivery tomorrow 6/6 and I’ve already sent payment and insurance but delivery tasks showed up this morning. Would have made things Hella easier. 😃 Had no idea if my payment was received etc till this morning.

Good morning. A lot of activity overnight!

For the new folks, we have an order/delivery tracker if you want to share updates. It can be found here: Google Sheets. Post your changes and I'll get them entered.

I've added the new members and added notes for the folks who had pre-delivery unlocked:
@GN1 , @CT19TX , @Alpine , @jaborror , @Courtrule11 , @Threader

Congrats!!!
