Good afternoon! First post for me. I am hopping to order my Model 3 in the next week. I have quick question:
If you place the order through the website, can you make an application at the same time for financing? Does Tesla just choose the provider, or can you choose? Or is it better to visit a Tesla sales centre and have a sales rep complete the process?
I was very confused by the whole process... maybe I should have researched it a little more, or maybe not, but anyways here is my advice to you.
Wait until you have a delivery date and then apply around the delivery date. The financing approvals are only good for 30 days. I ordered on June 6th and applied on June 8th and I got approved, but I think I might have to apply again as I doubt my car will be delivered within 30 days. I don’t have any updates on my order since I initially ordered. I thought finalizing all the details (trade in, financing, etc) would speed things up but apparently none of that matters. Your order is queued as soon as you submit your deposit. Anyone can feel free to correct me if I’m wrong about any of this.
