Question:<\/strong> How long does it take to get approved through Tesla financing? I’m itching to get a new Tesla. I applied for financing yesterday, but I haven’t heard anything back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer: <\/strong>Typically, your credit application will get processed within 48 hours. It\u2019s possible you\u2019ll hear back within minutes. Or the decision could take longer, according to Tesla\u2019s website, depending on unanticipated factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll want to start your credit application once you\u2019ve put in an order for the Tesla you want to finance. Credit approvals are typically valid for up to 60 days. You\u2019ll need to do this whether you want to purchase and\/or lease a new Tesla. But if your vehicle\u2019s delivery date is far away and occurs after the application\u2019s expiration date, it\u2019s possible you\u2019ll need to submit a new application. The expiration date varies by financial institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You must be 18 years old or older and have a social security number to apply for financing. The credit check will put a hard inquiry on your credit \u2014 which could lower your credit score \u2014 and additional inquiries may occur depending on your situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can I find out the status of my credit application?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Go to your online Tesla account and search for \u201cPayment Method.\u201d This is where you\u2019ll receive a message whether your credit application was approved or denied. Either way, a Tesla representative will also contact you to initiate next steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are steps you can take to help you save time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Unfreeze and\/or unlock your credit. If you had previously reached out to the credit bureaus to freeze your credit, you will need to remove this before you send in your application. Making sure your credit is unlocked will make the process much easier.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Determine if Tesla Financing is available in your state. Tesla Financing is not available in all states so you may need to locate a third-party financier.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Apply for pre-approval with Tesla Financing and other financiers. Keep in mind that this will not result in a guaranteed approval for financing and there will be a soft inquiry on your personal credit report.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Gather insurance quotes. Financial institutions typically require you to have adequate comprehensive insurance and collision for the new car before you can drive it home.This applies to leasing, too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Double check names on the credit application. The name on the application needs to be the same name as indicated on the vehicle registration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Staying organized and keeping these steps in mind will help you mitigate some delays as you apply for financing your new Tesla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
