I have an offer signed for a job, but don't start obviously until May next year after I graduate. It's a great salary, and I don't want to move quite yet so I'll commute from home. This is 180 miles round trip, hence why I am seriously wanting to purchase a Model 3 LR (for self-driving highway purposes mostly).
Tesla recently did NOT hit the Model 3 LR amidst the recent wave of price increases, but I feel that they might in then next 6 months (especially due to the EV tax credit bill on the table) Current estimated delivery date for the LR is December, but with Hertz ordering 100k or 200k Model 3's production is going to get wild. So, I'm thinking I need to order sooner rather than later to get the car before I start work. Problem is... how am I gonna get financed for an auto loan without the salary being "active" so to speak. Anyone know how Tesla financing or others would approach someone like me? I have no debt and credit score is as high as it can for an individual like me given the length I've possessed a credit card (only ~3 years I think). I believe my plan is to pay it off completely within the first year or two most likely.
