Get under £50k £100 to place the order and add the auto pilot afterThanks for the update @longmalx and @Sinx - hope the timing works out ok for you both. Are you financing yourselves for the time being or having to juggle delivery dates?
I've been going through the EST application form, although a few things I wasn't 100% on - namely:
Not sure if others can advise what they did? Cheers.
- What to put in the Dealership Name & Contact details boxes; I've not placed the order yet, but seems these are more set-up for other car dealerships (with Tesla, don't you just order via the website!?).
- Whether to just put "Total Cost of Vehicle" price excluding extras, as need to ensure it's under the £50k mark, but with paint, Enhanced Autopilot etc my total is going to be £52,990!
- What to upload as the Quotation doc? Can it be a screen-grab, or do I actually need to place the order and pay the £100 before I complete the application??

Dealership: Put whatever address it prints on the top of the Order Confirmation (or just put "Tesla")Thanks for the update @longmalx and @Sinx - hope the timing works out ok for you both. Are you financing yourselves for the time being or having to juggle delivery dates?

As long as it’s paid before collection they don’t really care. Some people (me included) didn’t even get an invoice until a few days before - in my case invoice appeared on the Friday morning, with collection on the Monday morning!I'm due to pay my balance by tomorrow (7 days in advance of collection) but still no sign of the loan and its an Edinburgh bank holiday this weekend I think- anyone know just how late tesla will accept payment?!
Thanks - that's reassuring!As long as it’s paid before collection they don’t really care. Some people (me included) didn’t even get an invoice until a few days before - in my case invoice appeared on the Friday morning, with collection on the Monday morning!
If your concerned give Tesla a call day or two before - but when you make the payment it should go through instantly and update on your Tesla account within an hour or so.
If it helps, I’m due to collect on 28th and my account now says I need to email confirmation of payment within 48hrs of collection. No mention of the 7 days anymore.Thanks - that's reassuring!

You'd need to double-check the terms and if you're allowed to fund with a separate loan for the other half - I think you are but I do remember reading something about it in the terms (of course it will also mean you're making 2x the monthly loan repayments - one to EST and one to your other source).Sooo let me get this right, the Scottish Government will give you £28k interest free loan over say 6 years.... the long range car lets just say costs £48k, assuming you put down say a £6k deposit then you could basically fund the car via two loans (the first the interest free loan to Nicola) then say in theory take a tesla loan (or equivalent bank loan) for the remaining £14k? thereby saving a shed load on interest payments etc. I was going to go full PCP with a 6k deposit, but this could make the car a bit more affordable.
Is there no way that you can obtain a very short-term loan / essentially bridging loan (if that's the right term) for a few months rather than get hit with early repayment issues?Well EST have failed - despite being told it funds would be with me by today I'm now told its going to be another 2-3 weeks.
Had Tesla on the phone on Friday offering a Tesla loan to get around it although I'm aware there may be early repayment penalties when the EST funds eventually come through - looks like I no have no choice if I'm to get the car within the next week.

But yes, it would save you a bunch on interest on the loan repayments - I was fortunate and got the EST loan when it was 35k - it was a no-brainer, the cash is better in my bank account than in Tesla's even if it is earning measly interest

I guess it depends on your circumstances but what's happened to you is roughly what almost happened to me; firstly when EST took 6+ weeks to even look at the application, meaning I missed the Q2 delivery where I was offered a car, which then meant I was pushed to end of Q3, which if I had not had the cash in savings anyway to pay for the car, I would have had to lose and go to Q4 because EST took soo long to pay the loan out after getting the invoice! As a semi-last resort is it worth you delaying your car to Q4 - since you'll have received the loan payment by then, and you do have 3 months (if I remember right) to submit proof of having actually paid for the car to EST?Not sure how fast I could arrnage a short term loan
