I think you may be right there, hmmm I’ll have a look into eligibility for the lols.Visa rules aren't devolved (Im pretty sure), so still welcome here on whatever rules you are under just now.

I nearly had to 'bridge' mine for a week and I called and asked the drawdown team about this as it does clearly state everywhere in their docs you can't pay ANYTHING except that £100 which was stressful for me! but he said as long as loan is approved and just waiting the 5 working days plus a bit for covid for the money to come, it would be fine for me to pay for it myself as long as I could show proof of purchase and my funds leaving my account.
it worked out i got the money before tesla were ready but only just! I also was able to pay on my amex using the new amex bank transfer scheme and the 50k points arrived the other day which was a nice extra bonus, to get 50k points towards a flight/holiday (whenever they are allowed again!)
How can you send money using your AMEX? I have a BA AMEX, can this be done with that?
@john0897 I did it on my business card which isn’t BA it’s a plat business amex - and I do think it’s a straightforward ‘amex membership points’ thing and not third party cards like BA - but it’s worth talking to them anyway.
You need to register with their fx payments then use it for a GBP transfer - there is a fee from memory it was 1% on the Tesla - it varies by spend - you can pay PAYE, VAT bills and any supplier by bacs without a need for them to take amex and get amex points (but you pay a transaction fee) it’s not worth it (to us) for smaller amounts - but the more you send the lower the transaction fee.
I had asked the guy who set ours up if I could share his details on here as I’m sure those guys have targets but probably some security thing - they have a site where I pass on other people name, number and email so if you want me to put you in touch send me a DM and I can do that - the team are super helpful
I’ve got the regular plat charge card, not the business. This is the first I’m hearing of this, do I just have to message Amex’s live chat?@john0897 I did it on my business card which isn’t BA it’s a plat business amex - and I do think it’s a straightforward ‘amex membership points’ thing and not third party cards like BA - but it’s worth talking to them anyway.

Yeah seems that way, I don't mind pushing my delivery back just annoying each stage seems to take weeks to completeI missed a call from EST today, last I heard they were going to speak to Tesla directly to confirm the invoice I emailed over... seems the last steps to get the money can take a while?

How long is the wait generally for the EST loan to be paid after sending in your final invoice. Sent mine in today and due to collect in two weeks but doubtful it will all be processed by then...
Doesn't look like I'll be getting a car this quarter thenMine took 6 weeks to be paid into account after sending them the invoice.

If you really really want the car soon, and the EST funds are slow to arrive, then according to folk on another forum, once the loan is approved the EST can be OK with you fronting the balance (e.g. dip into offset mortgage, Amex card as above, etc). Of course, not everyone applying for the loan will be in a position to take that route. And I'd urge you to confirm this with them before taking that route.
I've not been able to get though to them by phone today or yesterday to check on my own loan...
Update: Got though after over 10 minutes on hold. It was indeed EST wanting verbal confirmation, as one of the final checks.

I have a trade in valuation which will expire soon so if I push the car back too far or into next year will need to be revalued and maybe lose a little bit.

Thanks, I did a live chat and it can't be done with my card. Gutted, would have been 5 companion vouchers and 75k avios haha
