How to Order a Tesla?
2 Answers
You can choose to pay in full or apply for financing through Tesla's partnered financial institutions. Complete the final payment before or on the day of vehicle pickup. You can even make full payment via Alipay before pickup. The delivery specialist will assist in connecting with partnered financial institutions. Required documents need to be submitted for initial review, followed by scheduling an in-person appointment and loan approval. It's recommended to install a home charging station. The delivery specialist will arrange for on-site survey, electric meter application, charging station delivery and installation testing based on your location. Tesla offers trade-in services, or you may choose to handle your old vehicle independently. Vehicle documents can be submitted to apply for trade-in.
My Tesla ordering process was quite interesting. As a car enthusiast, I went straight to the official website. First, I selected the model, such as Model 3 or Model Y, then customized the color, wheels, and interior on the configuration page, with the option to upgrade to the Autopilot feature. I paid a 1000-yuan deposit to lock in the order and received a delivery notification within a few weeks. On the delivery day, I was super excited. The staff gave a detailed explanation of the operations, and I checked the battery condition on the spot. The whole process was smooth. I recommend installing a home charging pile in advance. I used Tesla's recommended service for installation, which was hassle-free and eco-friendly. Looking back, from online configuration to picking up and driving the car, every step was full of novelty. I especially enjoyed the quiet start-up feeling and the reduced carbon emissions. I highly recommend it.
