How does payment of Tesla Financing work?

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
I couldn't find details after searching, but basically I took delivery of my M3 LR on 6/29. Now i'm interested in how payments of Tesla Finance works? Is this through my Tesla account or will I be interacting directly with Chase? How long should I expect to wait until I hear from someone, as I don't want to miss getting my first payment in on time.

It's through the bank, Tesla has nothing to do with it after that. I just took delivery and have already received several e-mails and info from Wells Fargo
 
Did you pay your downpayment already? I haven't gotten any communication on when it needs to be paid and what methods are available to pay (certified check, credit card, etc).
I paid my down payment when I picked up the car via certified check. Although I noticed some folks were providing personal checks. As for paying the loan I found details on the website. Seems you have to wait 1-2 weeks:
