Maybe for Tesla, and if I went to buy a tesla and it was not delivered with a title I would not accept delivery. no title, no ownership.

Have you ever purchased a new car? I purchased a new Honda at a dealership a couple months ago, and my title was still sent in the mail later. The title is issued by the state government, not by the vehicle manufacturer or dealership.

  Yes, thus why i said in my orginal comment " or the paperwork that the dealer/tesla filed the title paperwork" This is offical documents provided by the state (at least my state) as the application of title, and serves as a Temporary title The form also directs the state the send the title to me, not the dealership. This is official notification to the state that the car was sold, with no lien or claim, and they should send me a the title. Int he case of a loan the same form is used to direct the state to send the title to the lien holder but the title is still in my name.

    > Yes, thus why i said in my orginal comment " or the paperwork that the dealer/tesla filed the title paperwork" Your full sentence was "If I paid cash for a something, I am walking out with the Title, or the paperwork that the dealer/tesla filed the title paperwork in my name..." But there is no "walking out" in this case, because as I said in an earlier reply, "Most Teslas are ordered online and delivered directly to the customer." The paperwork is filed from Tesla's office, wherever that happens to be, far away and out of sight of the customer. Of course this kind of error is much less likely to occur in a dealership, where the buyer sits down with the seller, and they go through all the paperwork together.

      Now you have moved the goal posts from buying a Honda which would be a dealer based network, not a online purchase. Then you selectively edited my comment so if you want to post the full comment then post the full context, as I clearly said for a Tesla " if I went to buy a tesla and it was not delivered with a title I would not accept delivery." thus if the delivery driver shows up and does not have that paper work, either title or application of title, then i am not signing for the delivery to accept the vehicle

        You might as well just say "I won't buy a Tesla." Which is fine, you don't have to buy a Tesla. However, I actually doubt the claim that you would order a Tesla and then refuse it on delivery if the driver isn't carrying the paperwork, which they won't.

        Largely because (as I have said over and over) it is not a "Tesla problem" is a problem with where the industry is moving. Tesla may be the most famous for these things, and they often get more attention here simply because of their polarizing owner. However Ford, GM, and many other Manufacturers have expressed the desire to move to a more Tesla style sales for their EV's, Ford for example reorganized the entire company into 2 divisions to support some of these sales method changes. >>I actually doubt the claim that you would order a Tesla and then refuse it on delivery if the driver isn't carrying the paperwork, I absolutely, 100% would, as I would have insisted that I have said paper work before delivery, and the transaction would not have proceeded with out said assurance so if we got to the point of delivery and I still did not have the legal paperwork then I would not take delivery as I would have no proof of ownership.
