That's not how it works for Tesla. Totally different buying experience. You order online, get a notification some days or weeks later that it's ready, go to the store sign a couple of documents and drive off with the car. Maybe 10 minutes total. (Source: bought a Tesla a few years ago). I just recently got a Kia EV9 and it was a 3-4 hour marathon of paperwork, talking, more paperwork. Really terrible buying experience. Nice car though.

Yeah that's one of the reasons my dad went with Tesla for his recent car purchase. My wife helped him get a RAV4 (Toyota) a few years ago and the three of us lost four hours on a weekend because of the song and dance that dealerships put you through. Never again. From now on it'll be Tesla, Rivian, Polestar, or Lucid instead.
