Curious why 8 years? I’m considering it.
Cash flow and flexibility is important for me. If I take a shorter term my payments will be higher. I don't care much about paying interest for longer. If I have cash I can pay it off faster. If rates drop I'll use my line of credit to pay the loan, then pay down the line with a lower rate (that is IF rates drop in the next few years).

Also it didn't matter how long the loan is for, the rate was the same.

I'm also planning to go for 8 years as it would keep the monthly payments to a minimum.

However, I still have my account set to "CASH" and not financing as I'm waiting for a VIN to revert it back to financing.

Don't know when is the right time to do it though... Wonder how much time will I have between VIN and delivery date.

Did Tesla give you a choice between Scotiabank or RBC etc or not ?
 
Has your EDD changed at all from the TBD? My EDD still hasn't changed from the TBD and it seems everyone with a later OD is getting into the VIN range.
Nothing yet, but I did get my financing set up and talked with Crystal in Halifax, she reached out to confirm I was ready to accept delivery in the next two months. They expect to see Vin assignments in the not to distant future.

I've had a 2 week EDD for the past 1.5 weeks and with rates moving higher I presume I will take delivery in the next 90 days so I can secure the rate 30 days at a time.

Tesla didn't give me a choice but I asked them for it over text. They said they would let the "Credit Specialist" know of my preference. It was done within 90 minutes.

Mine came back with Scotiabank, I reached out to Tesla and they confirmed it was the lowest rate. I even called RBC and they said it was a good rate and they were not seeing lower. 6.06 isn’t great, but I figured I better lock it in before the rate hike today.

> July 17- Aug 28 (as of 04/03/22)
> July 27- Sep 21 (as of 04/10/22)
> July 25 - Sep 5 (as of 04/15/22)

Do you have similar situation?

Appreciate the help.

This entire thread I moved your newly created thread into is about basically the same thing, so to answer your "do you have similar situation" the answer is "yes, this thread has over 1000 pages of similar discussion".

"Do you know why it got pushed back" discussion is also a large part of this thread, but the short answer is "no".
