Tesla service bills in Canada now offer financing options via Affirm
**Tesla Introduces Affirm Financing for Service Invoices in Canada**
Tesla has expanded its financial offerings in Canada with the introduction of Affirm financing for service invoices. This new feature, available through the Tesla app, was introduced with the v4.46.0 update released in June 2025.
The financing option allows Tesla owners to manage their vehicle expenses more flexibly by financing repairs and maintenance costs directly from the app. Customers can see the financing option alongside the estimated service invoice total in the Tesla app. By selecting “see if you qualify,” users can apply for Affirm financing instantly via Affirm’s interface.
Depending on credit approval, customers may choose payment plans with terms over 8 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, or 24 months. Financing offers can include 0% APR for shorter terms or interest rates up to 36% APR for longer terms or higher-risk profiles. Approval is subject to a credit check, and a down payment may be required depending on the individual's credit profile.
For example, a service invoice of around $199.50 (for services like tire rotation and wheel balancing with tax) can be split into monthly installments, reducing the need to pay the full amount upfront.
This new financing option aligns closely with Tesla’s U.S. operations, where Affirm has been used for service payments and the Tesla Shop purchases after phasing out Klarna. The move towards Affirm is part of Tesla's efforts to standardise its financial offerings across its global operations.
The financing option is currently available in British Columbia and Alberta, following an expansion by CBI & Finance. This expansion also includes Tesla extended warranty coverage for these provinces.
In summary, Tesla’s Affirm financing for Canadian service invoices offers vehicle owners increased affordability and payment flexibility for maintenance and repair services, accessible conveniently via the Tesla mobile app.
Tesla owners can now manage their vehicle expenses more flexibly by utilizing Affirm financing to finance repairs and maintenance costs directly from the Tesla app. This financing option allows customers to choose payment plans over 8 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, or 24 months, with financing offers potentially including 0% APR for shorter terms or interest rates up to 36% APR for longer terms or higher-risk profiles, subject to credit approval and a possible down payment.
