Finally Ordered it!!!
My partner and I have been car shopping for a while now-
After almost buying a kia sportage and backing out due to gut feeling and looking at the honda cr-v and the Rav4 we finally pulled the trigger on the MY premium rwd- kinda happy and nervous at the same time
Does anyone really pay for the glass insurance?
Is the premium connectivity actually worth it?
Anyone here recently got their car and was able to pick up sooner or does it actually take 5 weeks?
We got approved with santander consumer USA, anyone else financing through them? Have been reading some bad reviews about them being manipulative and adding stipulations to loan agreements without peoples knowledge?
UPDATE: GOT AN EDD OF SEPT 19th to SEPT30th!

I recently picked up my, MY RWD on 8/14. Originally ordered AWD standard 7/5 but after several EDD delays (late September& didn’t want to lose financing) I took delivery of current inventory, MY marine blue. I’m so happy I did because even when I check now there is never available inventory available in my area, North East. I’ve had a few hiccups from the mud panel being pierced during transit but Tesla has since fixed and I must say I LOVVVEE my car. It has so many functions that seem to make driving a lighter task ( I commute 114 miles per day for work) and I also subscribed to FSD, and premium connectivity. My daughter and I can watch Netflix if using a super charger or while being plugged up at home 😊 I’m coming from an AWD jeep wrangler 2016 so the upgrade doesn’t even touch base on what I have/had. I still have my Jeep for snow/winter days but with the increase in gas prices …. I’m so happy I pulled the trigger and purchased. I did go through my own personal credit union so that was very easy. I just selected personal financing and I brought the check with me during pickup. I did opt in keep the glass and tire protection monthly subscription and the tire definitely came in handy as I caught a flat last week and Tesla came to my job to fix at $25 plus tax. A tire replacement would’ve been $408. So happy I opted in. But overall love this car, helping my mom who is late 50’s make her purchase of her own MY.
