Did you get any indication of when your car started moving from California?I did a wire transfer on the 16th -- Tesla called tonight - delivery set for the 28th at Cedar Springs. Super excited!
Is anyone here using Tesla's financing option here in Texas? I'm not finding many lending options that aren't super short in timeframe or right around the 2.74% APR anyways. It also seems advantageous to use their in-house financing partner to get things approved fast and get the ball rolling with a Texas delivery.
Thanks for posting that. Here's the chart from the website. Looks like 66 months is the sweet spot.On @Rockster's recommendation I tried RBFCU. If you apply online you can get 2.3% for 75+ months. I'm probably going with them.
So, that's two of us with confirmation for the 28th. Does anyone have something sooner?I did a wire transfer on the 16th -- Tesla called tonight - delivery set for the 28th at Cedar Springs. Super excited!

The Annual Percentage Rate is current as of: 02/20/2018
Edit: I don't know how they get that APR. But I ran the 2.15% through an amortization calculator, and the monthly payment on a $1,000 loan is indeed $16.08.
- Auto/Truck
Months Rate (APR) Payment per $1,000
24 2.150% - 13.500% $42.61 - $47.78
36 2.150% - 13.500% $28.71 - $33.94
48 2.150% - 13.500% $21.76 - $27.08
60 2.150% - 13.500% $17.59 - $23.01
66 2.150% - 13.500% $16.08 - $21.55
75 2.500% - 14.750% $14.42 - $20.49
78 3.500% - 16.250% $14.35 - $20.84
84 5.250% - 18.000% $14.25 - $21.02
A snag on my purchase: For some reason, Tesla has processed payment from my credit union as a payment of only $12, not a payment of $56,272.25. As a result, Tesla thinks I still have a payment due of $56,260.25 instead of zero. I've been emailing my delivery person in NV for two days now to see if he can get it resolved, but have received no response.
If they think I haven't paid yet, my Model 3 will not be invited to the party when the truck pulls out.
Sigh.

I think we used RBFCU together, right? They had an issue overnighting my check on Tuesday and will send it today instead delaying yet another day due to the holiday.
I hope the best for both of us then if thats the case!! With so many deliveries confirmed for 2/28 to Dallas that may be a good sign that ours will be on that date as well.
Keep us posted on how that goes.
BTW, it's time for a pitch about the Tesla Owner's Club of North Texas. If y'all aren't already members, I recommend joining. It's a fun group and we're frequently doing something Tesla related.
Down payment sent. Crossing fingers the finance check gets out the door this afternoon.
My sales adviser shared a few things:
Tip for everyone here: If you have placed an order, I'd advise having all of your finance ducks in a row so you can get money out ASAP as soon as you get a VIN. I haven't quite figured out what is different here than an S and X, since I've seen inventory vehicles in Austin and Dallas be sold to Texas Buyers (with them obviously already being in the state before finalizing payment), but there is something with the 3 where Tesla can't get it moving until they receive the money...
- "You are in the very first batch of Texas customer deliveries, and we're trying to make sure we get every detail right because its a bit more complicated and we don't want any last minute hang ups"
- "There are _a lot_ of customers in Texas waiting for this car"
- My car is complete, and sitting in the Fremont parking lot. They cannot move it until all money has arrived at Tesla.
Anyone have any insight on the difference?
That's a pretty solid theory.I speculate that it's just Tesla trying very hard not to run afoul of the BS rules involving sales in Texas so that they're not hit with an injunction or something that would shut down Model 3 deliveries.
For those using RBFCU, I have been approved for the loan, but they say the need a "purchase order" in order to finalize it. I have sent the mvpa I received when I ordered, but seeing as I have no VIN yet, that's all I have. The RBFCU person told me the purchase order they are expecting will have the sales price, plus the taxes and title/licensing fees. Is that right? I don't remember getting anything from Tesla like that when I bought my S.
If that's what they told you guys no big deal. Otherwise I need to get on the phone with someone to have everything sorted out so I can pay the second I get my VIN.
