Order only from the maker's own site (tesla.com) or a seller it names: a model that has not shipped has no stock anywhere else.
Get the deposit terms in writing: the amount, when it is refunded, and the delivery date it holds.
Walk away from a price well below the maker's, a payment by bank transfer, gift card or crypto only, or a seller with no address or company number.
Check the stage on this page: an announced model or a prototype cannot be ordered, whatever a site says.
