Tesla Assigned VIN today and assigned pickup date for next week but won’t give me wiggle room for my third party loan (3.25%) to process in time. Thoughts?

Ask them to push out as much as they can for now,

My case: I had my order on hold until Jan1st but with the $3750 discount I decided to move now since odds are the car won’t qualify for the full 7500 in January. So, I took my order off hold last night at 11pm. Got my vin today with estimated date of dec7-16. Last night before I took the order off hold I got the pre approval from Adelfi at 3.25%. When I took the order off hold it showed no estimated date. I texted them this morning asking and I got the vin like an hour later. In parallel I called adelfi and asked what were the next steps. I uploaded everything I needed, called my insurance got “proof” of insurance for the car, put in my trade in details in the app, then called Tesla to get the purchase order needed for Adelfi to move forward. They said they needed a photo of my odometer on the trade in. Sent, 40 minutes later had the purchase order, uploaded to Adelfi. Now I just wait. Adelfi did say that after they had everything it could take 5-7 days. I told them my window stared on the 7th. They said ask for a delay but that she would let the underwriters know.

Tesla simply told me to email them when Adelfi wires the money and to pay my portion of the down payment but they didn’t give me an ultimatum. I am in Michigan though so things are a little weird where the car can’t cross State lines until it is fully paid for. So they won’t set a exact delivery day until the car is funded.

Long story short, they have a lot of stock right now and I highly doubt you won’t get the car this month if you want it. Shit, they are giving $3750 discount for people to take it in December. Also they will be super busy. I would stay silent and ask for as many days the ask for another and tell Adelfi to please do it sooner. Good luck, let us know how it goes.
