You still have to authorized the transfer after linking your account to Plaid. Tesla cannot take your money. With that said, I submitted my payment in advance and didn't lose any leverage in the transaction. The delivery staff seemed indifferent about whether payment was made prior to or on the delivery date via plaid or certified check.If I set up my bank account as a payment method using Plaid, am I authorizing Tesla to withdraw the money anytime or do I still have to submit/confirm the final payment? I would prefer to set it up before delivery day but I also don't want to end up making the final payment now.
It is unproven, but I suspected those who submit their payment are expedited to a degree since lots of buyers try to game the system by saying they are cash buyers then switch to financing after they get their delivery date locked in.
