We currently have an order in (Nov 19) for a white/white no FSD 20" RWD MY.
With the news that test production has started it seems that orders may be filled in the next few months. We want to finance part of the purchase so we will need to secure a bank loan. We are assuming we will get better rate at a bank than through Tesla (any comments from experience on this would be helpful). But, when should we try to secure the loan from the bank? Will we even be able to do so without knowing the final price? It's unclear how long we will have once Tesla contacts to finalize delivery details; can we postpone delivery date until we secure loan and get check?
We've always done financing through manufacture financial services for new cars on day of purchase so I'm not sure how this works for Tesla and bank loans. Any info would be appreciated.
