So originally, I chose third party financing too…I noticed that it didn’t show my tasks complete. I finally called and they changed to cash, which immediately showed complete and I then got a date range for EDD. They told me to call back once I got a vin and they’d change it back to third party financing…
Fast forward…I was within a week of my 2 week EDD window and felt comfortable going forward with loan approval (it expires at 60 days for my CU). When I filled out the app at my CU, I chose “Tesla financing”. When the CU called to follow up, they asked for my RN number. The CU rep had internal system access and she updated my order to show APPROVED 3rd party financing and everything was good from there.
So, moral of the story…it might be beneficial to initially chose cash if financing through third party when you don’t intend on getting the approval right away (due to a far off delivery date). Then, change it down the road (no pun intended).
Again, just my take based on my experience .
