that's a great rate, what institution quoted that?

DCU. I got 1.49% with a low 700s score (been hitting my credit hard with inquiries and accounts lately)
Tricounty credit union is 1.99 to 36 months. Merck sharpe and dohme is as well to 60 months.

Did you just apply for an auto loan without being a member? I thought you had to be a member of DCU to get the rates. I would really like some more information on this as I'm still looking for a bank to work with.

Just pick dealership doesn't matter they know it's a Tesla once you send them the bill of sale and don't forget the .25 off for EV

In my 2018 Model 3 I didn't use Autopilot that often but when I did I almost never had any phantom braking. (My previous BMW had much worse phantom braking.) That one had RADAR so I'd guess the problem is mainly with the newer vision-only cars. I'm about to find out as I'm expecting a new Model 3 soon...
This and a few other posts give me some hope I'll get Ryzen when I lift hold. I ordered 5 days after you and I received Intel Vin few weeks ago and put on hold till next week...I might lift the hold this weekend..fingers crossed for Ryzen Vin.VIN (168XXX) received! Hopefully picking up next week!
Here's the recap:
Order date: Nov 10th 2021
Original estimate Dec 2021
Numerous EDD...
Jan 25th VIN assigned 153XXX, released
Jan 29th SAME VIN assigned, released
Jan 31st EDD: TBD
Feb 1st EDD: Apr 27th - May 26th[despair has entered the chat]
Feb 2nd EDD: Feb 13th - 21st (OK, that's better)
Feb 2nd: VIN (168XXX) assigned and confirmed Ryzen, Lithium 12V, and heated wiper park!
My SA is useless so I've started calling central support for everything and the majority of people I've spoken to there have been great. I asked a few details about the heated wiper park as it seems more difficult to find reliable info on that update. They said it is an embedded resistive element similar to the rear defroster that's placed below the hood line where the wipers rest. I've seen a few claim its simply new heater vents aimed at the lower portion of the windshield and that seem to not be the case. I have an entire heated windshield on my Range Rover that is awesome for snowy Colorado mornings since I don't have any covered parking available. I think the heated park area along with the instant heat available with EVs should make the Model 3 just as convenient. I am VERY excited and can't wait to exit this waiting game.
Now to get my DCU loan finished up. I've been on hold with them for an hour already.

Im going to (Again) head off all the "DCU" talk. TMC does not allow referrals, and because of rampant exploitation of DCU referrals we are particularly sensitive to that one.
Because people have not been listening to us when we say this, I have been having to issue people temporary bans to get their attention. Every time "DCU" comes up people start talking about referrals and such, so this is a warning to not do that or risk a temporary ban.

How do you get such an amazing rate?
I did the financing through Tesla at 2.49
I have stellar credit so I should qualify for a better rate… but where do I find these rates?!

I rented a 3 from Hertz a couple weeks ago, it only had 400mi on it, and the phantom braking was horrible. Bad enough that I thought about canceling my order but decided that I trust it’ll be solved.
I got another EDD today, the last one was 3/8-3/31, now I‘m 2/24-3/24. like the rest of you, I can’t wait to get it.
Thats through outside financing. You would need to look for outside financing credit unions etc yourself. The rate through tesla is whatever it is at that time, which I believe right now thats their lowest.
EDIT:
There is a stickied thread that has a google doc that used to auto update with credit union rates etc. The thread itself is closed (because of the referral problem I mention earlier), but I did not delete the thread itself. The first post in this thread linked below has some links to google docs with information.
Note that I am not endorsing anything in any way, I am just attempting to pass on some information thats here already.
Tesla loan comparison spreadsheet - auto updates hourly
Hi everyone, This community has helped me tremendously on my Model 3 ownership journey and I thought I'd give back with this spreadsheet. This spreadsheet pulls rates directly from the credit union's website hourly, so you're always getting the latest rates, because as you know, they change...

Mine is DBM and got VIN assigned today. Order date: 12/08/2021.Personally I wanted blue... I didn't wanna wait this long, but seeing all these white/blacks delivered is ugh for sure
Though I did just see 2 people with the exact same config in Texas/Florida take delivery! I mean they only ordered like 1+ months later but ya know, who's counting

Does SAs always call for scheduling or do they also text? I’d hate to miss the call when it comes. Either I’m in a business call or I’m looking at my phone saying “not saved, not answered”. I’m horrible about that.
