financing

I understand the tax credit doesn't come until next year's taxes, so when I finance the car, I have to calculate payments without factoring that "discount" in. I'm going to use 100% fake number to make the question more clear. Here's my question: Say I buy the car now, but get the credit in a...

As part of my research prior to purchasing my first Tesla (a Model S), I've been looking for some historical information on Tesla's Financing Rates in Canada. In order to ensure that I'm getting the best financing rate, I wanted to understand the historical patterns which might help me predict...

Hi all - this is my first post. I just picked up a White MX and loving it so far. I bought the MX at the end of Sept (during the quarter push) and took advantage of their 0.99% financing. That said, I'm 18 days into ownership, but have not received any word on next steps for it. I've tried...

I am still in hustle mode on a narrow path to get in that Tesla wait queue. Meanwhile continue learning everything possible about what makes her, go, and that most efficiently. A girl prone to classic remakes and models it wasn't until a friend introduced me to Tesla Model S this summer that got...

As my production date approaches, I am about to apply for financing. Hoping to take advantage of the current low-rate financing offered by Tesla. However, I haven't decided yet what to do about the trade-in. I have an initial trade-in offer from Tesla, but I think I can do way better by selling...

The Model S configurator currently uses 1.99% to estimate monthly payments. While the screenshots posted in this thread show that the Model 3 configurator uses 2.74%. I was expecting to be able to get the same financing rate on the Model 3 as the Model S, but it looks like the offer for the...

Two questions: 1. Does anyone know if Tesla is applying the $5000 Colorado tax credit during the purchase? I know Colorado made this an option starting in 2017, so I'm wondering if Tesla is taking advantage of that. 2. My reservation is under my name, but I'll probably do the financing under...

Logged in to make my monthly payment and noticed that Rivermark Credit Union is offering 2.49% interest again. They were incredibly easy to work with and had us approved very quickly. Banking That's Always On | Rivermark Community Credit Union

I'm a Model 3 reservation holder (stood in line at the local gallery on reveal day morning, in central time zone) and while browsing some inventory on Tesla.com, I found one that struck my fancy and decided I'd really rather go in for an S. My minimum requirements for purchase are AP2, Premium...

Hello members I am new joinee to the forum and to the Tesla world. I have just confirmed my Model X in Houston (Richmond exactly). I was not aware that the published 1.50% rate from Tesla Financing was not available in Texas. So the next question is where else should I shop around for financing...

I was surprised to find out Tesla offers financing (no way I could afford a MS or MX so there was no reason for me to even look). From the website it looks like the APR is very low compared to other rates I see (1.49% from Tesla, vs ~2.25% or higher from various banks and credit unions). Is...

My X is in transit and Tesla is ready to schedule delivery. I'd like to register the vehicle in my business name and finance it. I haven't had great success getting good options through the delivery specialist who seems more like an order taker... The lease program does not seem like a good...

Hello Everyone, I have been wondering about a few things, so I wanted to post this to see if anyone has had any experience with this. I live in Lake Charles, Louisiana and will be picking up the car in Houston on Friday since we do not have any Tesla centers in Louisiana. 1) First off, I...

A couple of weeks ago, I spotted a thread pertaining to having to refresh your application if Tesla doesn't deliver your vehicle within 30-60 days. Well now, I can't find it but I'm having the same issue this other person was having. My approval was seamless when I first applied initially and...

I'm not sure what the details are on this so far or what is out there. But I'll share my experience, which will hopefully help some people. I ordered on 11/8/16, and was told I was approved for a lease the next day. I received a letter on 11/22 from US Bank saying I was denied for a lease. I'm...

I am just trying to see how the customer base pans out amongst the Model S owners. I am very torn between the 60D and the 75D. Certainly do feel tempted on the 90D but its out of my financial comfort zone. Just trying to understand what the scenario looks like amongst current Model S owners...

Has anyone recently applied for financing through Alliant? It's been nearly two weeks and we haven't heard anything other than the "underwriter is working on it". We've gotten mortgage approvals faster than this. :rolleyes: The Alliant rep said they've been slammed with applications. Anyone...

Hey guys, The post probably isn't for everyone but is for you if you already had an Alliant account with a username and password and now have an auto loan with them also. When you get financed with them but you have already had an Alliant account (I've banked with them for a while), you...

I've seen a few threads make mention to the potential Alliant rate reset. My car won't be delivered for a few months, and they won't lock in the rate I was approved at (wasn't aware of the 30 day approval when I applied. If the rate does go up, what's the next best option for someone with A+...

When do you pay the destination charge/ or where is it factored into everything? Do you pay the remainder 2500 at delivery, and another 1200 as well at delivery, or is the 1200 built into Alliant financed?

We are scheduled to take delivery of a Model S inventory car tomorrow! According to our DS and the Tesla Financing guys, we were supposed to get final lease terms and numbers 24-48 hours before delivery day, which has now long passed. I tried to get in contact with both teams earlier today with...

I have shifted gears and entered Phase 2 of my "Own a Tesla" journey. Phase one was exciting and included thoughts like "How awesome are Teslas!", "Can I really afford one of these cars?", "What color would I get?", "Is 220 miles enough range? 257?" and so on and so on Then this morning...

Maybe I'm posting something most of you already know, but had to vent . . . They don't offer loans on "independent" car dealers. I was hoping to go through them as our home loan and personal finances are all with them. Oh well - their loss, right!? I've received quotes from Chase and TD Bank...

During "Alpha Release" :redface: of the Tesla Leasing and Tesla Lending "Apply online" links on Friday, I called Tesla Finance to inquire about the leasing money factor and residuals, and the top-tier financing rates for various terms. They appear to be the same/similar to Model S. Here they...

Hello Everyone, I have a few questions regarding vehicle registration and financing, hope someone knowledgeable can clarify. Disclaimer: I am fairly new to US and recently started working in CA, so not completely acquainted with car buying process. I order Model S 70 RWD on Aug 22nd, and...

Hi All. Wondering if any of you had any experience with the HERO (Home Energy Renovation Opportunity). I guess it kicked off in Riverside County in California, and is starting to spread to other communities. My understanding is that it's basically a way of financing home energy-efficiency...

Hi all! After a year+ of planning and researching, I finally pulled the trigger on my Model S order yesterday :biggrin:. I've decided I want to go with financing through Tesla so I can get the buyback guarantee (I don't expect to need it, but I'd really like to have the option just in case)...

Hi everyone, First, I want to thank you all for the hours of wonderful reading you've provided me over the past few weeks. This is my first post, however. Sorry for the long story. :) I am going to be placing my order for the MS 60 this week, for delivery in April when my lease is up. I am...

Hi, does anyone have any info on a traditional lease being available for the model s? Any lenders that are doing this? Thanks
