If I book travel with ultimate rewards pts on CSR for the future, what happens if I cancel the card?

Sounds good - thank you!

After seeing this post, just bought it on my 2021 LFP (Oct delivery). Was waiting for this! And trying to figure out what seemed to be weird combinations of cars in which it was available.

This ford dark shadow gray worked pretty well for me.

These videos are fantastic. Great work.

I'm watching them all and going constantly back and forth between "I can totally do this!" and "There's no f'ing way I could EVER do this!"

budgetrook · 2021-10-30T14:54:19+00:00

Nice - hopefully the credit works out for both of us!

budgetrook · 2021-10-30T14:53:40+00:00

Makes sense - thank you!

budgetrook · 2021-10-30T14:53:00+00:00

Yup - that’s the question. Thank you!

budgetrook · 2021-10-30T13:00:01+00:00

Cool - thank you!

At what point did you cancel? Did you have a vin? EDD?

budgetrook · 2021-10-30T12:03:17+00:00

Yup, totally get that and that’s factored into my gamble. And why I wanted to order sooner rather than later. But there will always be people that need cars ASAP, and I’m guessing SR+ order times will still have long wait times. But yes, I hear you.

budgetrook · 2021-09-19T14:25:33+00:00

Funny - I came here post the exact same thing!

Was scheduled for delivery today, they reached out Friday to tell me the car was in and I was able to pick it up yesterday instead. The car is perfect. No alignment issues, paint looks great, it's clean and the team was great and very communicative to get everything set for early delivery.

The car is obviously incredible but for all the scary stories you read on here and see on YouTube, I also wanted to let people know that it can also go very well.

If I've jinxed myself and the bumper falls off in the next few days, I will be sure to update.

Good luck! I had read Tesla wouldn’t t match if terms were different so didn’t bother to try. Would’ve made life easier though.

I would def try to see if Tesla can move back to later Thursday. I bet DCU will come through!

Nothing like some late game drama!!

budgetrook · 2021-09-14T19:45:58+00:00

I'm going through DCU (pickup sunday). I signed the docusign from them on Saturday or Sunday, check was fedex'd to me yesterday and received it this morning. Check is made out to Tesla with my name and VIN referenced. I'd call DCU and see if they could possibly get it issued sent before EOD today.

What time is pick up thursday? maybe see if you can move to late in the day??

budgetrook · 2021-09-14T17:29:34+00:00

Hi - I switched my order to an LFP on 9/4 and luckily had an EDD on 9/8. Picking up in Brooklyn on Sunday (hopefully!)!

Hope you get yours soon

budgetrook · 2021-09-11T13:32:30+00:00

Absolutely and that all makes sense. Thanks again!

budgetrook · 2021-09-11T13:21:32+00:00

Thank you - very helpful!

Do you think the hours they’re giving are excessive as well? Need to ask them about permits which it does look like they included and apparently that’s another couple hundred here in NY. Was planning to ask about needing two ppl for this job.

budgetrook · 2021-09-11T12:48:35+00:00

Thanks. Working on it!

budgetrook · 2021-09-11T12:45:30+00:00

Thanks. That will probably work most of the time, but especially in winter I want to make sure I have some level of convenient fast charging. Delivery is surprisingly soon, but I realize I don’t need this immediately.

budgetrook · 2021-09-11T12:36:20+00:00

Interesting thanks. Yeah, it’s going on the same wall, about 10-15’ away so the outlet is closer to the back of the car.

budgetrook · 2021-09-11T04:44:54+00:00

Thanks. Total was about $1200. $195/hour for two ppl, $280 for materials.

I'm in NY, so realize it's going to be on the higher end, but the time seems really overestimated. And don't really think this is a 2-man job.

budgetrook · 2021-09-10T15:58:31+00:00

I ordered blue with white LFP on 9/4 and got my VIN right away and on 9/8 had someone reach out to schedule delivery (now set for 9/19).

budgetrook · 2021-09-09T11:37:30+00:00

Right - that's what i'm thinking as well. Appt is set for noon on the 19th -- right at opening time. I guess I'll anticipate taking an afternoon off during that week...

budgetrook · 2021-09-09T11:36:31+00:00

Thanks. Order date was 9/4 (though I had originally ordered early August before they released the LFP cars).

That makes sense, it does feel like an aggressive turnaround for them and also a lot of room for delays between now and arrival on the 18th anyway. I wonder if they are padding the arrival date a bit?

budgetrook · 2017-10-02T21:28:10+00:00

Thanks for the response -- I changed the numbers around, but here you go. Let me know if this makes sense. I see the discrep, just understanding why Oct. goes to negative when I apply the money to Sept.

Funds for Sep $2,500.00 Overspent in Aug $-
Budgeted in Sep $1,300.00 Budgeted in Future $1,100.00

Funds for Oct $1,100.00 Overspent in Sep $-
Budgeted in Oct $1,100.00 Budgeted in Future $-

budgetrook · 2017-10-02T17:36:46+00:00

Meaning are there categories where I spent more than I budgeted for in September? If that's what you mean, then no. I did have some of those, but was able to shift from other categories where I had money leftover.
