Looking to replace my Tesla Model 3 performance with another Model 3 performance.  When we got my wife's Model Y last year in March, I found a rate of 3.99% at US Senate FCU, which was at the time a lower rate than the 4.5% or higher I was seeing elsewhere.  Probably a promotional rate.  Love to find a similar deal, anybody seeing anything under 5% APR for 60 months with an over 820 credit score? Lowest so far I've found was 5.24.

This time last year the 5Y Treasury yield 3.6%, 100bps (1%) lower than today's 4.6%. 

5.25% loan is not too high of a premium above that, and should be considered quite fair.

Maybe stop giving Elon money.

Considering the Feds are giving me money to buy the car, and my automobile operational costs are a fraction of what they were when I had my Audi, I'm not opposed to making him a little richer.

BuT bUt FaScIsM bro. 

I just got an email from Tesla to finance a new Model Y from 0.99% APR. No idea if it’s available on other models.

Why are you replacing your Model 3?

Nope, only the Y gets that APR.  I'm replacing mine since it's 4 years old and warranty is about to run out.  New 3 performance models are faster, better looking, and handle better.  This model is a total redesign and it gets rave reviews.    With the 7.5K tax rebate my payments will be lower.  And I know people giving financial advice would say this is financially silly, it's not a big deal to me.  I live pretty frugally and this is my one indulgence.  I love fast cars and I don't want to spend six figures to get one.

No, they don't look the same, least not to me.

Ah, well certainly more like the S than the original 3.  I'm not really a fan.
