I noticed that they are not reporting to any of his credit reports.is this normal for Tesla?
Might be, a user on one of the communities dedicated to Tesla had the same issue so sounds standard.
Interesting. I wasn't aware that Tesla had their own financing department. When I ordered my car, it was stated that loans would be provided by either Chase, Wells Fargo or US Bank. Hopefully this is still an option come December when I order a new Tesla 3.

With the rate at which they make changes, you might not want to keep the same car after year 3. Hassle free way to "trade up".
@LittleSal wrote:Totally agree!
Tesla is such a technology based vehicle that I'd want a new one every three years. Like an iPhone.
Yeah, I have an April 2019 build that shipped with the v2.5 hardware. Even though it's only aesthetic right now (no interest in Full Self Driving), I'm bummed I don't get to see all the new driving visualizations.

I'm hoping they come out with Ludicrous Mode for the Model 3 this fall. There are also rumors of 100kwh battery. That would put driving range over 400 miles. 😳
I'd be VERY surprised if either of those made it to the Model 3 any time soon. Unless Tesla REALLY needed the cash, those features could canabalize S sales. We'll see what plaid brings though.
