Carolina Cooperative FCU is allowed to do business in FL? Based on the info I saw from their website (link below) I didn’t think I’d qualify to join. If I do then I’ll certainly consider based on the terms you stated.
Membership — Carolina Cooperative FCU
Join the North Carolina Consumers Council first for $20 online. It makes you eligible for certain Carolina credit unions. I live in California and joined. Then fill out the very short member request on CCFCU website and include your NCCC number. They will mail some paperwork to you. It takes about a week to get paperwork from them and back to them. Probably faster for you in FL. However, once you are a CCFCU member, the loan application is online,
I applied Monday night and was approved (approval is based just on credit score) on Wednesday (Tuesday was June 30, so hectic end of month day for them). On Wednesday night, Tesla called and said my vehicle got delivered at the SC. I emailed CCFCU the details and they emailed paperwork to sign, I signed and emailed it back, they overnighted a check to me by Friday 10:30 am here in California. I drove to Tesla right after and picked up the car.
The loan officer said they do a ton of Tesla’s. I told her it’s probably because of the great feedback on the Tesla forums. Also, the 84 months at 2.49% with first two payments deferred gives folks extra cash to spend on a home charging set up and/or ppf. I plan on paying the loan off faster, but it’s always nice to have the option of a lower payment if needed.
