First, I just joined and want to thank you all for the membership, this looks like a great community for Tesla owners. I have been looking over this forum for a while and saw a lot of people asking questions and I wanted to offer so help/advice with my experience so far.
I ordered a MY LR, AWD, black interior, no tow on July 15 and received the confirmation txt the same day.
The next day, i went to Tesla.com and put in my DL information and requested financing through them.
The following day, Tesla came back with financing of $35k with an interest rate of 3.5%, and I putting down the remaining balance.
I sat on it for a few days and said screw that money is too cheap right now, in addition I had checked out other forums with other individuals getting better financing. So I submitted my credit information with Carolina Cooperative (I am in Missouri, also happy to talk anyone through doing this - very easy), and let Tesla know around 7/20 that I was going to use my own financing.
On August 5th I received my VIN#.
On August 6th I received approval for financing from Carolina Cooperative for 2.49% on 84M and I let Tesla know to update the MVPA.
On August 8th, Tesla's website went screwy and my MVPA disappeared, then reappeared with a different lower VIN#.
The same happened on August 10th, but same VIN#.
On August 13th, I received a txt from Tesla saying that my MY was ready for delivery and send me a link. I went to the link and scheduled delivery for 8/26, earliest 8/24.
At no time did an estimated delivery show up in my profile which is very strange.
So hopefully all goes well, and I hope this helps others out, because i had seen some similar questions/experiences.
Also, what the hell accessories should I get??? Thinking weather mats and front window tint.
Thank you!
