..and am I correct to assume I can still say no and choose to keep it at delivery? I (like everyone) got low-balled on my trade-in (about $10K below CarMax's offer and $15K below private sale). However, since it will be probably at least 9 months before I get assigned a VIN for my FSCB, the delta may be a lot less by the time I actually have to hand over the vehicle. So I am thinking I should go ahead and accept the crappy offer. How binding is it?

I saw that but it wasn't clear to me since there was no way I was taking delivery in 30 days. I read that as I have 30 days to accept their offer. Otherwise, why bother making the offer now anyway?

You can change all of your financial options when you are scheduling delivery. Aka you are NOT locked into the choice you make on the app, unless you want to. (Source: Tesla Call Center Associate - Dec 2023)
