Common Questions About the Process
Have a question about your application or loan terms? These are the most common process-related questions we receive.
Can I refinance my Tesla Robots Financing loan?
Yes. After 12 months of on-time payments you may request a refinance review. Refinancing options are subject to prevailing rates and a refreshed credit evaluation. Contact your account representative to initiate a refinance inquiry.
What happens if I miss a payment?
A payment is considered late after the due date passes without receipt of funds. A late fee of up to 5% of the scheduled payment applies after a 10-day grace period. Accounts more than 30 days past due are reported to major credit bureaus. We encourage you to contact us proactively — payment deferral arrangements may be available for qualifying hardship situations.
Is there a prepayment penalty?
No. Tesla Robots Financing does not charge a prepayment penalty on any loan product. You may pay off your remaining balance in full at any time without additional fees.
Can I change the delivery address after signing my agreement?
Delivery address changes must be submitted before Tesla initiates the shipping order. Contact your account representative within 48 hours of signing your agreement if a change is needed. Changes requested after shipping is initiated are subject to Tesla's standard re-delivery policy.
What credit score do I need to qualify?
Minimum credit requirements vary by loan product and loan amount. Personal financing generally requires a minimum FICO score of 680. Business financing evaluates both business credit history and the personal credit of authorized signatories. Visit our Financing Options page for detailed eligibility criteria.
How do I contact support after my loan is active?
Your dedicated account representative is reachable by phone and email Monday through Friday, 9 AM-6 PM ET. You can also log in to your online account portal at any time to submit a support request or view your account details.
