I don't believe so, they make you take a picture of your dash with the engine running.
I am sure they will take just about anything, no? ROFL

I got my VIN today. (F180XXX)

White exterior. Black interior. 18 in wheels. NO FSD.

Order date 11/2 (I didnt complete the other parts of app until January)
EDD kept changing but was Feb 28-March 14 as of last week
Today it changed to March 4-8 with a VIN number assigned

I had set payment option to cash but would like to finance it through DCU and maybe get Tesla to match it.

Do I just call them to chance payment to 3rd party financing?

And then do I need to fill in 3rd party financing info on the Tesla site?

I noticed I have a MVPA for cash in my Tesla account right now. Can I use this one when applying through DCU? Or do I wait for Tesla to draft a new MVPA with financing numbers in there? If I am financing the entire amount then would cash MVPA be fine to submit to DCU?
I think it has been stated here that Tesla will No Longer match rates.

I ended up going through them since my local credit union was being stupid about the process. Took me about 5 minutes to apply and get approved, but only after spending around 3 hours on hold trying to get them to give me my member number. That process was a little annoying but the loan process was very easy and only took me giving them a dollar amount. I just have to upload my documents once I get them to finalize everything.

Yeah I fully expect it to be a insulting offer, but with tax savings and the drive I thought it might be worth at least a consideration. I sent them all the info yesterday morning but still haven't heard back.
I'm not sure if Texas operates the same as Missouri but we have a Form 426. I'll pay full sales tax on the 53k Tesla purchase price. When I sell my Truck (selling for 32k to a coworker) I will file a Form 426 to get back the sales tax on the 32k (only pay sales tax on the difference). Hopefully Texas has a form to do that otherwise they are double-dipping unless you trade-in through a dealer.

Unfortunately we do not have anything like that. You HAVE to trade to the same dealer you're purchasing the vehicle from for it to be applicable for the tax benefits.
