Cashier’s Check

[Sagedaddy]

Who is it made out to? Tesla, Inc, or Tesla Motors? Of course they have been inconsistent.

 

[Need]

"Tesla Motors, Inc."

 

[BobCio]

My email states "Tesla, Inc." without quotes.

Tesla, Inc. worked for me in my cashier's check

 

[drawfour]

It is absolutely not Telsa Motors. It is "Tesla, Inc."

 

[Need]

It is absolutely not Telsa Motors. It is "Tesla, Inc."

I was told by my IDA that it should be "Tesla Motors Inc" and it is what got sent to Tesla from the bank. The bank didn't even ask and that's what they put down. My MVPA also have "Tesla Motors Inc" as the account for wire transfer.

I specifically asked my IDA and he said "We are no longer Tesla Motors, Inc since we do more than just cars. It's Tesla, Inc." The name of the company is easily found as it is listed on the NASDAQ: TSLA : Summary for Tesla, Inc. - Yahoo Finance. It's "Tesla, Inc."

Well they will need to update their MVPA and inform all their IDAs. I am sure they could cash any check with "Tesla" on the payee even if you put down something like "Tesla Auto".

This were still on my MVPA one week ago:

Mine is:

TESLA, INC.
435 WESTLAKE AVE N
SEATTLE, WA 98109

That's from my MVPA from Sep 2. I wonder if it's possible that it's based on the state, and in some states they use Tesla Motors, Inc. because they already existed there under that name, and for other states they exist under the new name "Tesla, Inc."

So maybe it's "Tesla Motors Inc." for the OP, since he's in California.

 

[Sagedaddy]

Over the phone I was told Tesla Motors by a sales person. My DA said Tesla, Inc. I guess I’ll go with the latter..

 

[Sagedaddy]

"Tesla Motors, Inc."

Did that work for you?

 

[TT97]

The company is Tesla, Inc. The "dealer" is Tesla Motors Inc. As long as you have Tesla on the check, I'm sure either is fine.

If you prefer, you can make the check out to me and I will make sure it gets appropriated correctly.

 

[MikeATL]

They’re going to cash your check either way!

 

[Need]

Did that work for you?

Yup. Again like others said, they will cash it anyway you title their name so don't worry too much about it.

I think that's possible. Maybe it has to do with some kind of accounting thing. That's why there is that inconsistency.

Both my delivery advisor and the Marina Del Rey office told me to make cashier's check to Tesla Inc. even though my MVPA said Tesla Motors Inc. I specified Tesla Inc. on the cashier's check and it worked fine. Either one should work fine though.

 

[Snow Drift]

My IDA said either (Tesla Inc or Tesla Motors Inc) is fine. I had my CU check made out to Tesla Inc.

 

[Pied]

I haven't gotten my car yet, but I manage 14+ bank accounts at my work. If you list a DBA you'll be able to cash the check. IE name on account is Tesla, Inc. and DBA is Tesla Motors, Inc.

 

[Sagedaddy]

Thanks to all for this informative discussion! Delivery day is tomorrow and banks are closed. Would hate to delay delivery because the check is wrong.

 

[TaoJones]

Either will be just fine.
