FYI: I checked Tesla’s FAQ about third-party financing. It says, essentially, that checks need to be mailed. That Tesla may accept a photo of the front and back of the check as proof of payment, if you mailed it. And, finally, that Tesla must receive payment in full before you take delivery. Nothing is stated about payment rules by state. So, I assume it means any state. It’s worth calling your SA to confirm if you’re using third-party financing. Here’s a link to the info
Tesla offers the ability to purchase your vehicle over time by securing a loan with either a third-party lender or a Tesla financier.
