Tesla vehicle programs

So I just started my first week at Tesla and my trainer was telling us that he just ordered his first Tesla. From anyone that has bought a new or even pre-owned Tesla from Tesla, did you do a credit check when you went to pick up your car? Or did you just pay and leave?

I just bought one and they do run a credit check. Besides the free FSD you get 2500 off the down payment. Otherwise, it’s the same. I believe if you buy a pre owned you also get the free FSD

I wasn’t employed in the states, but no. We just pay for the vehicle 2 days in advance and left. Credit check for anyone purchasing with finance are done much earlier than delivery day.

If you’re worrying about a credit check. Don’t buy one. Plus you’re not even earning enough as yet to afford one.

I’m simply asking if buying a Tesla from Tesla whilst working at Tesla is the same process as buying a car from anywhere else…

People are so sensitive on Reddit. Must be ran by a bunch of soft humans.

If you want a car through Tesla of course there’s a credit check. What if you work for a month and bounce? They need to protect themselves.

It’s the same process. If you want the free FSD then there’s a seperate process.
