My delivery button just showed up for delivery between Jun 7 and Jun 21. I am expecting to pay about a third of the cost in cash, and financing the rest via my own bank. For a cash payment this large, what forms of payment will Tesla accept? Personal check? Cashier's check? Wire transfer? Other? Since my bank does not have any locations in state, obtaining a cashier's check or similar takes a few days, as does wiring payment. Any advice or tips? Starting to get excited about delivery.
They added a payment button on mytesla account. I remember options for wire and electronic, I chose electronic. here is some text from the email before payment
Similar. I mailed a personal check for what I wanted to place down, then carried a USAA check for the balance to the delivery meet. USAA prefers to do a bank transfer, but my product specialist, or their accounting department, dropped the ball and didn't get the info to USAA in time. USAA kindly overnighted a check to me.
Thanks everybody. If Tesla will accept a personal check a few days ahead of time, that's the most convenient. I also have USAA and they make the financing part of the equation pretty easy. I'll keep watching the site for payment info.
