Tesla Master Thread

[avromie7]

Are they trying to sell it for third party?

Doubtful, they probably just don't want to get sued for patent infringement.

Is Tesla good for financing? Never financed before, not sure if this any good or if I should shop around somewhere else.

Received the following from them:
Wells Fargo Auto
72 months, 2.74% APR
Amount Financed: $36,502.00

Any suggestions for banks with the lowest APR, for those who do not borrow from credit unions? Thanks.

If you're buying a Tesla, you can get financing through Tesla. Otherwise, PNC or Lightstream.

Yes, needs a ahmm invite lets call it:) Which currently is "down due to system maintenance....

Lol, FWIW it's Rabbi Rudinsky from Monsey. He felt that there is zero issue when it comes to a car, though seems like it would be better if the check goes straight to tesla. He felt that they are basically buying an interest in the car, as opposed to a regular straight loan (he was mashmah that there he wouldn't necessarily consider it an issue either) but by a car 100% not an issue per him.

We already discussed this. You can follow him, however others including R' Dovid Feinstein ZT"L, YBL"T R' Reuven Feinstein, R' Shlomo Miller, and others said it is a problem. That's why everyone should ask their Rav.

[Shmulie]

I believe Rabbi Reisman also holds its a problem
