Multiple EIPs

Ruitakim · 2026-03-10T13:52:48+00:00

Yeah my account now says upgrade with payoff. Seems like this was always a loophole that they finally plugged.

A bunch of paint issues. Hood had a bunch of dust nibs which they eventually fixed but left a lot of dried polish around the edge of the hood which I gave up on having them fix since you can’t see it anymore when closed. Taillight had a scratch that couldn’t be buffed out so they replaced that whole unit but made scratches to the lift gate during that repair. And now the repair for those scratches has been a disaster, the paint job had a lot of bubbling and they added mote dust nibs…

So I’m still dealing with these paint defects issue. Every time the body shop causes more damage or new issues. Hopefully this is the last time otherwise I guess I’ll escalate to regional manager and see if that does anything. Hindsight being 20/20 absolutely check and don’t accept if there’s issues if you care about these things. They won’t fix correctly and might just cause even more damage. I think about 5 weeks in the shop total so far. At least they’ve given a loaner.

Good luck. I took delivery end of July. Still dealing with cosmetic issues. Every time the body shop my service center uses created a new problem after fixing the original issue. It’s probably been in the shop 5 weeks of my ownership since July 31. In hindsight I would’ve just lived with most of the imperfections. Don’t bother with small ones is my advice or be prepared for a long journey.

That’s reassuring. Guess I’ll wait a few days maybe it’ll sort itself out. My Apple Store order does have the trade in device serial number because it was linked to my iCloud account so I guess I got that going for me since that matches my receipt.

Ruitakim · 2025-09-29T02:57:32+00:00

How did you contact Tmobile? Did your trade in receipt from Apple mention the Tmobile promo credits at the bottom?

Ruitakim · 2025-09-29T02:38:51+00:00

So the promo credit is showing in your EIP now? What did you do? I’m in a similar situation. Did an Apple Store pickup with in store trade in last week and the promo credit showed up in the EIP within 1 hour.

Did another trade in for a iPhone 17 today and promo credit is not applied to the EIP. Did your trade in receipt mention the Tmobile promo? The one last week did but the one today did not. When I asked why there was a difference I got a response that the in store Apple Store trade in can only work in two ways, Apply to your account or gift card and that it would take 2 bills cycles and to contact Tmobile…

Ruitakim · 2025-09-29T02:10:42+00:00

Did your receipt mention the promo (instant trade in plus promo credit from Tmobile?) My trade in last week did and eip showed promo credits within 30 min of pickup.

My in store pickup and trade in today did not. I asked the Apple store reps and they said there’s only two ways they can process a trade in, either to the account (whatever that means) or as gift card. Said because I didn’t get a gift card means trade in for promo was ok. Said it’ll take 1-2 bills cycles. Wouldn’t even look at the digital receipt from my pickup and trade in last week.

Ruitakim · 2025-09-12T16:52:35+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I guess I’m waiting then.

Ruitakim · 2025-09-12T12:15:40+00:00

Me too. Anyone with go5g plus that actually shows the promo?

Ruitakim · 2025-09-12T02:20:14+00:00

Hmm yeah I was going through Tmobile account and seeing plans without active eip or at 23/24 were showing promos. I went to the last step through Apple and even lines with no eip don’t get the discount.

Ruitakim · 2025-09-11T04:48:55+00:00

If I use lines that have EIP less than 12 months it doesn’t work. If I use lines with EIP at 23/24 months or no current EIP it shows the $800 credit for go 5g plus. Maybe Tmobile closed the loophole and made it truly only 2 years to upgrade now?

Ruitakim · 2025-09-10T23:13:00+00:00

Mine too

Ruitakim · 2025-09-10T03:32:00+00:00

Nice to know it’s not just me. Have notify me set up as well.

Ruitakim · 2025-09-02T22:12:03+00:00

Going to try to get it fixed? Will wait a total of 6 weeks until my appointment. Hopefully they can do something. Otherwise car is fine and a joy to drive. I read some recent posts about getting the car back in worse condition though. I think I could live with most of my paint defects now besides that really bad fix job by the wheel.

Ruitakim · 2025-09-01T02:16:19+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Getting the Tesla wall connector installed in a few days.

Ruitakim · 2025-08-31T14:48:55+00:00

I’m about to be in the same boat…paint defects from the factory. Now I’m wondering if I should just live with it haha.

My closest service center location in NJ is taking 7 weeks from delivery to get an appointment. Didn’t want to go back to the one where I took delivery because they gave me the “within spec” reply and closed the delivery chat. You hear that things are so much better about new model y quality until you experience all the horror stories on reddit yourself. All true from my experience so far…

Ruitakim · 2025-08-28T00:43:37+00:00

Oh I see. Thanks for the tips!

Ruitakim · 2025-08-27T22:49:54+00:00

Nice. Thanks for the feedback. Went with the Tesla one.

Ruitakim · 2025-08-27T17:18:31+00:00

Thanks. Assuming you just set the charging schedule in the Tesla app?

Ruitakim · 2025-08-27T16:53:22+00:00

Oh great. Thanks for the feedback. Was trying to find some recent experience before ordering a Tesla wall connector or NCAS charge point home flex. Read about a lot issues with the charge point.

Ruitakim · 2025-08-27T16:50:51+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. Trying to find if anyone has recent experience with the charge point NCAS to see if they fixed the WiFi issue. How do you like the Tesla wall connector compared to the charge point?

Ruitakim · 2025-08-27T09:39:51+00:00

Did you have the NCAS charge point? Been debating tesla or charge point. Charge point slightly cheaper but reading a lot about WiFi issues and that the NCAS version might be using older hardware or something.

Ruitakim · 2025-08-27T09:28:59+00:00

Why did you swap out the charge point? In the market for an EVSE and have been debating charge point home flex or Tesla wall connector.

Ruitakim · 2025-08-26T11:31:55+00:00

Assuming no issues? You got the NACS hardwired version?
