Tesla Lease

[Anonymous]

What score does Tesla look for when leasing? And what do they pull?

Utilization: 30%ish and going down

DTI: 20%ish 

Score: High 6s

I 'believe' Tesla prioritizes US Bank for their leases.
In that event more than likely TU FICO 8.

What scores do they look for?

In April 2019 in California, they said minimum 650. Keep in mind, FICO score is not the end all, it's a starting data point. Alliant FCU has a Tesla financing specific option as well. At the minimum, I would shop both (same day).

I can confirm this, at least for Texas. I just had my lease approved today. They only did a hard pull on TransUnion. However, according to the rep they do a soft check across all three credit bureaus.

Cool. Congrats! to you  although the OP hasn't posted in almost 8 months  so I'll guess he doesn't care.
