    Detailed question on Tesla Financing - early payments

    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...

    Question for those who are financing thru Tesla

    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...

    Tesla loan application and the trade-in uncertainty

    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...

    APR for Financing Model 3

    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...

    Colorado Tax Credit and Financing

    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...

    Live in Oregon and considering financing a Tesla?

    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...

    Financing option for Model X in Houston Texas

    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...

    Tesla Financing for M3

    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...

    Business lease vs Business finance?

    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...

    Tesla Financing Issues

    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...

    Tesla Direct Leases - NEW

    Folks living in cold/Northern States, what Model S do you own?

    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...

    Alliant backed up?

    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...

    Other financing options?

    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+...

    Bank of America SUCKS! Who Wants my Loan!?

    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...
