Rates recently went up. They are now 3.74% for 72 months at Meriwest. What are the rates with Tesla?

New member. Just ordered mine last night after getting email on April 18. Seems odd to order a car online that I have never driven, but I guess that's what we do now. I'm in the LA area. My office is across the street from the Alla St. delivery location, so we have been watching Model 3's arrive on the 90 Freeway for weeks. I guess at some point I get to walk across the street and get mine.
seems to be 3.25% but that's just from the m3 configuration 'checkout' page. god knows if they really honor that rate or if there are random fees and/or loan discounts that jack up the rate.
Same thing for phone lines today. It’s like calling the state EDD. Just hangs up on you.
Reading this forum might have given you that impression but I was told by Tesla staff many months ago that the priority had no time limit. Obviously that policy has resulted in a lot of whining and speculation that Tesla would surely limit the policy.

You won't technically "lose your place in line", you can wait indefinitely to order. However, the longer you wait, the more likely the delivery wait will be longer, even with Tesla's increased production rate.

Anyone know the typical time frame from configuring to receiving VIN etc...? My order shows financing as pendin since I plan to finance through Tesla. Is this a mistake? Should I just get my own financing?
It took about 4 days from order to VIN for my silver m3 with aero wheels to show up. You can still change your payment method if you have just placed your order. Check out the credit unions near you and the M3 finance thread for CU with good rates.
They will hold it for up to 7 days (they might hold it longer, but busy service centers may bump you to the next model with you specs that comes in)
I configured 4/1, got my VIN 4/7. After finalizing everything my OA told me it's already at the service center and can be picked up the 19th. They are holding it until the 26th since I'm on vacation.
I don’t think you’ll have much luck trying to negotiate a test drive with Tesla. I’d recommend using Turo; I rented a Model 3 in late February here in Arizona for three days, Friday through Sunday, to get a feel for how the vehicle handles rush hour traffic on Friday and how it handles on short road trips over the weekend. The money was definitely worth it for the piece of mind the experience offered prior to putting up $60k on a vehicle you haven’t driven.
Order placed 3/31, online, pre-reveal and was invited to configure on 4/18, which I promptly did.
MSM, 19” Sport Wheels, PUP, EAP, selected option to evaluate trade in and look at financing through Tesla (though I’ve found credit unions that appear to offer better rates so I may go that route.)
