Hi Ksingnil: Welcome to the forum. I just join the forum today myself... This was the advice the SA gave me when I first sign-up: No matter what your intention how to pay for your car, always indicate that you will pay cash at first. The reason being, the Tesla's operation tend to release the VIN to the cash buyers first (for the obvious reason - cash is king - the bath of the least resistance...etc). If you finance your car with Tesla, then of course you'd have to tell them in advance. However, I do not believe finance with Tesla will gain you any benefit. And if you finance with a third party then it would be the same as you pay cash, so long as you could come up with the payment at the time of delivery....
