I'm getting a bit of cold feet. The reality of having an $850 car payment for 6 years is causing me to think twice. Even with 15-20K down it feels like a large financial commitment.
Before this process I was not aware auto rates were almost 6%
I did my credit app and Tesla approved me at 5.69%, navy Fed approved me at 5.79% my paid for legacy X has been very good to me but the mileage is really high and the only other viable alternative is sit and wait a year or two before picking up a 22 X or S.
If it helps, you are making 6 years of payments for a $10,000 discounted price which may never be seen again with the exact current equipment in SAWD.

How far away are you from the delivery location. If it isnt too far, make a trip out there to see what really is going on.
My pickup is in Chesterfield, MO. Its a 6 hour drive for me. Hope they don't come up with excuses after I fly out there. Lol.
That is also the dealership where I’ll be picking up my car—a two-hour drive away—and I feel their handling of the situation has been very poor.

Still need your address for the stickers.

Time to go play.
Woohoo!!!! Congrats!
As usual, we would like your perspective on the ride quality, confirm off-road modes are in your latest firmware, and I'm curious on the energy consumption. If normal driving average is around 380Wh/mi or less I'll be super impressed.

Did anyone else get into the SpaceX IPO?
Definitely had to cut into the SAWD fund for this but this is another company, like Tesla, that I truly believe in.

Well that's a better % than I received. Maybe since I was a new Fidelity customer or they were crushed with requests. I should have planned better. That mimics my story on my CT order. :)

Mine said 71k.
To be clear, that is what the window sticker said ?
Where I live the town excise tax is computed on the sticker price, not the price you paid. If you buy a new vehicle with a MSRP of $71k and actually pay $61k you are taxed on the full MSRP amount.
That would kinda suck... The state sales tax here tacks on another 5.5%
