I've heard that with Maquarie you might be able to start paying the loan from the date you get the VIN.
You'd want to call them and confirm, but there is a change you get your VIN before then and can keep the 2.99% finance.

“Before Xmas” true… …. But they didn’t say which one.
Lol, very true...
I really feel for you guys and your wait. Mine is horrible and I just want it now but I'm not even technically in the delivery window I was originally quoted yet (6 days out). To have to wait this long when you would have expected it months ago would be excruciating!
If they go back to their historical schedule of 5th-8th, they'll make it in time for the 10/10 ship.
I was told this by my guy at Macquarie. As soon as you have the vin the rate is locked in.

Not sure Tesla has been manufacturing cars long enough to consider their previous years historical schedule, specially considering expansions to their manufacturing. My current Tesla Model 3 was manufactured on 11-07-2019 and delivered 27-09-2019 however, it came from Fremont factory. I would assume the delivery times from China could even be slightly faster, so the manufacturing can happen any time in the next month and as long as there is a ship coming that arrives before middle of December, still get delivered this year.
We were supposed to get our cars in August, our app says aug-nov. People who ordered in Feb won't be happy with a December delivery. Thats 10months.
And even worse still for those in the 6-9month and 9-12 month category.
Ship deneb leader departed shanghai headed for Singapore today hopefully it stops in Australia after singapore
Although a rush now at the beginning of the quarter to catch up would be good.
As our designated longest waiter (I think) we gotta cross all our fingers and toes that you stay inside the big 300

Just look at the reaction to the number of cars built but not delivered last quarter, and you'll understand why Tesla always tried to keep that number as low as possible.
"Tesla blames logistics problems after delivering fewer cars than forecast" - Financial Times
"Telsa [sic] slides on widening delivery and production gap, demand worries" - Yahoo Finance
And those are just the top hits from Google.
It's a ridiculous metric, but here we are.
