I purchased a new Tesla and they informed me that my new car is ready for delivery and gave me four business days to send the payment. After submitting my loan application, I contacted AFCU and [they] helped me with the loan process and got my loan approved on the same day and financing check sent out the next day. The whole process was quick and easy. I am a very satisfied customer. CALVIN P.

You must be 18 years of age or older, able to speak English, in good mental and physical health and willing to undergo a comprehensive background check.
