Payment through Plaid

As of now the app does not seem to allow any other method than Plaid for the payment

At the time I picked up my MYLR (June 2023) it was possible. Recently I read elsewhere that the way to get around it is start the process in the app with Plaid and then search for a bank name that doesn't exist (or is known to not work with Plaid), and then the interface will offer a way to enter bank information manually instead of using Plaid.

In July I was absolutely unable to find any method other than Plaid on the app.

However, I did have zero trouble with a cashier's check in the amount made out to Tesla Inc.

Oh, that's smart--it sounds like it could work.
