So I actually ended up getting my car last Saturday afterall. The car I ended up with was a 183xxx VIN with the passenger lumbar, no radar, and only 10 miles instead of 2300. It isn't exactly the same config as I originally ordered 20" wheels instead of 19" and no tow package. They really went above and beyond finding me a car after my demo was nowhere to be found and honestly I'm perfectly happy with the 20" wheels and I didn't really need the tow package.

It's pretty simple, esp if you intend to use DCU ... I took a gamble (not knowing how they were), but now that I'm a member they are fantastic
What I did:
1) Go to website and join using the 10 dollar donation to the kids option
2) Started shifting my direct deposits over slowly (first a few hundred then more - I get paid weekly so that shortened the timeframe)
3) Made sure I had access to everything and could get a hold of them / support
4) Within a month I had relationship status and all the discounts
5) Apply for loan
Once you have an account number and pin, getting to them is really easy and hold times are really short. It takes about a week or so business days for account PIN to show up in mail.
Chat support works well too
You can do the apply for loan and agree to do direct deposit etc by 90 days deal for the discounts, but I became a member first and that streamlined everything. I'm not even doing the whole pay direct deposit yet.
So i went with your suggested option 2 and got the pigtail NEMA 14-60 plug which has 4 wires but the wall connector only takes 3 wires. Is there a particular wire in the pigtail that i need to not use?
If you have to ask…
Sorry, I wouldn’t touch that kind of voltage without a master electrician.

Yep, but you do need some Direct Deposit going in. I haven't put my full pay to them and they still gave me everything.

Oh yeah, and I believe by becoming a member first and getting some direct deposit to them before loan app, they didn't really care that it was all of DD or whatever

I hear you on that, I was displeased with fees from old bank so was looking for a new one anyway so it made sense. My one worry was support / ease of access to funds and that's no longer a worry.
It's 75bps with the 0.25% energy efficient rate discount. You should be able to get 1.24% (assuming very good credit).
Its suspected if your direct deposit is >$500 a month i.e. your loan payment is also >$500 a month, then no issues maintaining the 0.5% discount for direct deposit. No true confirmation of this, even though the DCU site says your "net pay", the rep I talked to said my >$800 monthly payment would qualify as enough for the discounts if I direct deposited the minimum to pay the monthly loan.
here's what I did to 1.24% with DCU, 65 months.
Applied loan first. upon approval, moved forward with becoming a member. Loan application was made on 6/9, check is being delivered to me 6/12. They give you 90 days to setup the direct deposits etc, which if you fail to do the rate jumps back to 1.75%, I didn't do the Tesla Match route since delivery is supposedly a week away and I didn't want to change any paperwork. Plus their checking interest rate 0.5% helps, if I maintain my usual balance then over a 5 yr period DCU will have actually paid me more in interest than what I will pay them on the loan, LOL...
this is super easy to do, do not need an electrician or another city permit for this modification. Just make sure you don't try to pull too much power through the TWC. Cap the white neutral wire, TWC doesn't need it. Do not change the breaker from 50A to 60A unless you are sure your wiring was already done with #4 gauge wire. I personally will stay at 50A and if really need the additional charging boost then install the TWC but highly unlikely.

We just scheduled our delivery for Springfield next Friday 6/18. From order date to expected delivery date - 41 days. Knock on wood no surprises between now and then.
Don't forget the 6.17% APY on their savings account for the first $1,000 too!
Thanks for walking me through the DCU process by the way, you were a great help getting me on that route. Absolutely correct, but they only get a $1000 from me. American Express treats me nicer on jumbo savings rates plus their regular soft benefits are always great (concierge, 0 fees same day transfers etc.)

Doing similar, keeping the 1k in for that sweet initial APY, elsewhere for other perks as well.
I wanted to share my ordering experience too!
Ordered 5/7: Model Y LR/Blue/Black interior/Gemini/Tow/FSD
5/8: No delivery date, stated a Tesla representative will reach out
6/4: Date finally showed up: 7/30-8/29 EDD
6/5: EDD: 7/31-8/30
6/7: EDD: 8/27-9/26
6/8: EDD: 8/4-9/3
6/9: EDD: 6/23-6/30
6/10 AM: 6/24-6/30
6/10 PM (after the Tesla event): EDD still 6/24-6/30 however, VIN Finally Showed up!! 207xxx
6/11 AM: Blue button to proceed with delivery from that "Order Update" message regarding removal of Radar. I also changed my mind about FSD and removed it after hitting the blue button. Somehow my price still stayed the same (minus saving $10k) even though the SA told me it will update the price of the vehicle to current prices.
Kansas City region. Getting really excited!
So, at this point...is the vehicle being manufactured or actually left Fremont, CA and heading toward KC?

That is an unbelievable rate, congrats. But a true flex is not financing at all! Congrats on your new ride!
