Hey guys,
With the (hopefully) imminent arrival of pricing information, I thought it might be interesting to start a thread to discuss the purchase process, particularly, how people are planning to pay for their new Electric CruiseBeasts. This will be the most I've ever invested into a vehicle, and I'm sure that's the case for some other people too, because I believe in the company and the technology. However, I'm not quite ready to stump up the whole cost up front, and so I'm keen to hear any ideas people have about finance.
It seems almost the default option for purchasers within the US to take advantage of their crazy-low interest rate loans. While we don't have the same options available here, I'm interested in hearing about loan providers that people have used in the past or are planning to use to purchase their Model S - any decent rates available? What about novated lease options?
Another interesting topic is insurance - with a brand-new car, insurance providers may not know how to price their premiums, I'll be interested in hearing about experiences those with the earliest reservations have with their various insurance companies when the car is finally on the way.
Any thoughts are definitely welcome!
