Best interest rate via Tesla financing?

Once I got approved, had sent it off to Tesla to rate match.

EDIT: *Offer valid on New Auto loans funded March 1, 2020 – March 31, 2020. “As low as” APR assumes a maximum term of 72 months with a 0.50% discount for auto pay from an EECU checking account. Your actual APR may differ based on your credit history, loan term and other factors. Payment example: monthly payment is $17.62 per $1,000 borrowed for a 5-year loan at 2.20% APR. Rates not available to refinance any existing EECU loan. Subject to credit approval. Rates subject to change without notice. Other conditions and restrictions apply.

Interesting.

did EECU as well, and Tesla matched the 2.2%

Not that much saving, consider the original Tesla rate was 2.99%

But a win never-the-less.

Thanks all.

Did you receive an electronic letter approving your loan from EECU or just screenshot of their page showing that rate was sufficient?

I was just approved for 2.75% @ 72 months no down payment. Not sure if I'll keep that but it does appear to be a competitive rate

I ordered 3/1/2020

Blue performance, Black Int, FSD, standard wheels

In the " drafting contract " status as of yesterday

We are getting the same as OP. Even if we could shop and get a lightly lower rate, not worth my time.

@DennyL that's what I received a PDF well, however, it states that it's conditional on: completion of loan documents, 10% down payment, verification of income, becoming a member of EECU. Was yours the same? Just want to make sure I have the right one before sending over to Tesla. Thanks!

Yes, send it out. As long it says approved.
