Financing Tesla vehicles in Canada

I have a Life Insurance Policy that my father started in my name when I was a toddler. I considered cashing it in - but that is the worst . Tax implications would take at least 1 /3rd. ( An alternative would be a loan from the Canada Life at 6%) Found out about a Line of Credit using the Life Insurance as collateral . up to 90 % of the cash value. Scotiabank and RBC wouldn't consider it . I have to apply to Banking Solutions , a division of National Bank affiliated with Canada Life. These people don't move fast. I started the process over a month ago. An email sat with the Assigned Canada Life advisor a week . Then I was contacted by his assistant. Lots of documents..... that were forwarded to the bank. My only contact is the Canada Life advisor. Interest rate will be prime 3.2% + 1% . I plan to buy a used Model S . To rewind the year I woulda ordered a Model 3 SR+ last December . Waiting .... meanwhile Teslas that I considered buying , have been sold.
 
Sounds like there’s some different experiences with financing.

I have approval with RBC for 3.6% from March 19th.

My EDD is now June 11 - June 25 and I think my rates should have expired already? So should I see something in the agreement that shows as such? Or maybe it sounds like they will just change once I get the final payment notification?

I’m really hesitant to ask them to make changes like changing the down payment amount or re-enabling trade in on the off chance I somehow get to keep 3.6% with RBC.

Now I’m rather confused as to what I can expect, but sounds most likely I’ll be seeing a rate increase. If I don’t take delivery early in my current 2 week window I’d also hit 90 days since the approval which seems like it might require a new approval and credit check.

Anyone have an idea of what to expect here?

My loan approved on Feb 27, rate and application also valid for 90 days. But I was 1 week ahead to take delivery before the application to get expired. And there's a chance that you may take delivery earlier than your current EDD. I got my vin during the 2 weeks window. Once when you receive the vin, then most likely you can take delivery within the next 2 weeks.
