Hello All,
I got the much anticipated text to schedule my delivery in 2 weeks. I have a question about the Pre-Delivery payment process because the answer I got from agent I spoke with today does not feel right.
I am planning to finance the car with big Chunk down and I have 2 concerns:
1. I do not want to use Plaid to link my account and I am sure there has to be a way to do it as manual ACH, if that it is the case and the payment was done online is it just an authorization for Tesla to withdraw the amount if I signed the paper after inspection on delivery date? or an actual immediate payment? what will happen if declined the delivery? I know I will get another allocation but that is 4-8 weeks and interest rate and finance application will not be valid then and Tesla Finance might not be the best option then, beside the obvious reason of why I have to tie a big chunk of liquidity in this transaction while I have no car (I know as I am reflecting on this, I should have went with the lower downpayment then drop the big chunk later). His answer was on Plaid not manual ACH and to do it the morning of the delivery date so it does not process on time and I will have a chance to cancel if needed.
2. Do they accept cashier checks on delivery day? he said not but I read some folks here did that. did you call to confirm with the center so they do not delay or reschedule you as they think you did not pay?
I prefer option 2 of course, any advice or suggestion based on recent experience from anyone who took delivery. not sure if all Service center have the same rules but mine will be picked up from Orland the Eatonville location.
Thanks
