@bakchod87 - I submitted the loan application via MyTesla page. I believe there is a default bank via the site.
@HumanGenome - I have been following the postings on this forum but I was not aware of the AP1 is even disabled. I thought AP2 will be released soon but I didn't know AP1 will not be available as well. I totally agree that the DS is not doing a good job explaining that at all.

Can I ask what your credit score was to achieve this rate? I'm just below 750.

Delivery experience continued.
I apologize in advance to the gentleman who answered these questions at the Marietta store. Sorry IF I misrepresent your answers. This is what I heard.
So I skipped the walk through and asked for answers to the following questions. Here is what I understood from the 30 min stand up meeting outside the car.
Q Explain HOV lane use again?
A If I put Mojlnir on my plate as I plan to do, I may not have the privilege of driving in that lane alone. Also it is not free, I get a discount and would still need peach pass. I have sun pass. My Tesla rep couldn't speak about what that means for me and Mojlnir.
Q Explain warranty options again
A I can buy warranty up to 1 month before the existing one expires which is 5 years/50000 miles and 8 years/unlimited miles on the battery + drive train. I cannot expand the later. Service is a one time buy within 60 days of taking the car.
Q I wish to restrict remote access to Mojlnir from the app can I do that?
A by default the phone app is not allowed to control the car. I can turn that access on or off. He asked why and I mentioned the alleged "butt summoning" issue. He could not speak to that but he stated the new app asks for authentication before starting or moving the car.
I turned it on.
Q what are the Range extend mode gotchas?
A Climate control and performance get limited.
Q Can the app or key put windows up?
A No.
Grrr
Q Most defensive EAP settings?
A EAP following distance is one. Standard regeneration has quick response time. He made sure I know my EAP is not available and all the demo cars driving themselves are EAP 1 and not 2.
Note - I didn't believe this as my loaner had the ap2, cameras and drove itself to my job and home. SO sales must have misled me with something or withholding info.
Q Weight balancing does it matter?
A No
Q How much load may I put in ?
A <=900 LBS
Q What are the dos and don'ts or what is the most important thing to know owning this car?
A He would not change a thing owning this or any other car. Do not run it out of fuel.
Q Which is more efficient Heat vs sub zero package?
A sub zero uses less energy than trying to heat the cabin
Q How do I record my list of defects if i find any and how to handle them re: timing?
A all things found will be covered under warranty and report them as soon as you find them to service department.
Q Programmability...scheduling tasks...may I do that?
A No. The car learns my behaviour and adjusts. I may not program it like my home.
Note - My jaw dropped. There are so many things I want this smart car to do in my automated home. I'm still in shock. Example Preheat/cool while on power just b4 I have to go to work. It will do that eventually. Opening and closing garage door depending on gear and location...so far it has not done that. It closed it but not opened it as yet. Alert me if home and not plugged in...he said app may do that. I cannot find it. He recommended i check the App features.
Q I wish for a pin to send each command to execute any car-moving tasks possible? 2 factor auth.
A No.
Q Charging to 100% does it hurt the battery?
A yes it Shortens battery life. He insisted the best way to preserve the battery is to charge to 80%.
Q may I set the Car's Name to Mojlnir
A Yes. Press the T at the top of the screen.
Q What should I expect re: Updates
A Connect car to WiFi at home and updates come overnight...
I did just that and got up at 6:30am this morning to find that Mojlnir slept all night like I did. No updates. My cruise control and EAP does not work as yet.
The only 2 questions he did not know the answer to were...
Q what frequency WiFi does Mojlnir prefer? 5Ghz or 2.4ghz
A No one ever asked that. He says It connects to any WiFi
My home has 4 networks. Video, automation, guest, and private wifi. The car saw only my 2.4ghz networks from the garage. I put it on my guest network until I can analyse its traffic and see what it generates. I may or may not trust it later.
Q may i connect Mojlnir to the External 3tb drive that was in my Mazda?
A he did not know this either as I'm the only nut who does that. I said that about me not him. I cd library while driving. I sync it to a WD TB drive and it connects to my kia or mazda.
Q tell me about the spare tire?
A there is none. And no Jack either. I almost blacked out...I think because I stopped breathing. WHAT?
He said ...
"Just called roadside assistance."
I drive in places roadside assistance would take hours to reach or may not want to go without backup. This was the most shocking.
Q Maintenance between servicing ?
A He answered but I forgot his answer because I was still woozy from spare tire answer.
Q Super chargers?
A for me unlimited use and free.
Q what should i know about Range, anxiety, stretching range and low power driving...
A He said it will quickly go away, drive slower and you will go further. On long trips, plan to hit them all with this car.
Q i bought a second Mobile connect. It was open, how many pieces was supposed to be in it?
A Cable + 3 adapters. Mine is good.
I purchased wheel locks. THEY STICK OUT AND LOOK TERRIBLE ON THIS CAR. WISH TESLA REDESIGNS THEM.
I purchased all weather mats they are SEXY, FEELS GREAT and the fit is awesome.
Q Wife profile vs mine, will keys tell us apart?
A I hear new software said it should.
We tried it and it's still confusing us
We get to the car with both keys
She weighs 98lbs. I weigh 200lbs. If I could program the car I would have it detect that.
Q Loaners policy, will I get one when service has my car?
A This is base on availability.
Q Whats included in Profiles
A Auto lockup and open... plus
Other car settings like
Seat and mirrors positions
Q is it charged
A Yes
He took.my keys and put them in a rubber wrap..real cool.
This kid was sharp and cool...he printed my temp tags, gave me some swag and took care of my phone hookup.
BTW today I got a phone case and it cannot connect to create anymore. My fault.
More experiences to follow.
If you are on the fence re buying a Tesla......
Ask me before Sunday ...
I may help you get the best deal...if you order before Sunday.1/1/2017.
How dumb am I, I ask. I keep misspelling my own cars name. MJÖLNIR.
High pitch noise is normal. I've heard it in every Tesla (3) I've driven on the highway.
I haven't heard the gears but I've heard the thud. Every time I park it and plug it in.
Depends on where it was loaded on at? If east coast should be 5 days crossing with customs. If West coast though Panama Canal then count on a little more then double the time, 12ish days. Good Luck.
I received the same rate and it was though Chase. They have several banks they use but the one that was offering that rate was Chase. At least that is who it was a few weeks ago when we applied.

I was going to say something, the other spelling meant something COMPLETELY different
What's the serial # of your car (last 4 of vin). My car still says Late Jan - Early Feb with vin of 6331.
Anyone else recently had their delivery date pushed back?
When I ordered I had the option of late Feb, but decided on March as I wanted a new plate on the car (UK delivery and March has new year plate numbers, wanted to use the number 7 out of the 17 to make up 7SLA on the plate).
Since confirmation in November the date has constantly said March/Early April. Until yesterday when I checked it had now moved to April/Early May.
Is this part of a wider production push back, i.e. have others seen this, or specific to the UK. I'd ask my delivery specialist however she is pretty useless and doesn't reply to e-mails (poor post sales customer service Tesla...)
VIN (last 4 digits is) 6478 if that helps?
Cheers

I ordered in late October. The website said at the time November delivery.
This was shortly delayed to late December.
It's now showing January / Early February.
My Vin ends 164351
I was thinking if it was Early Feb then I may delay it to March as well for the 17 plate.
Looks like my car is 127 builds later than your car. Slightly worrying that yours has now gone back twice. I guess I chose to miss one window, but it's now pushed mine back a second.
Any input from anyone in the know as to whether this is par for the course, or all as a result of the big Q4 push by Tesla to get deliveries therefore prioritising the US market where is has more control over the distribution (i.e. no cross ocean shipping).

Again my DS confirmed that the "rule of thumb" for production was: Overseas cars get produced early in each quarter followed by domestic east coast and lastly west coast. I believe I had read that here as well.
That is the best rate I have heard of so far....I don't think downpayment plays into it at all just credit score and outstanding loans to income ratio. At first on our P100D we were offered a rate of 1.99% (72 months) Alliant bank with a payment of $853.00 (70% down payment). We pushed back because we new our credit was great and they relooked at it and got us 1.74% (72 months) through Chase. Funny thing is the payment only dropped from $853.00 to $846.00, LOL. I guess if you look at X 72 months it saves us a total of $504.00.
Good Luck!!!
That is one sharp looking car. We went with the gray but I love the look of the white with black wheels.
