Hi all,
My neighbor took delivery of a Model Y today after waiting a few months - she was excited to show it off and called me over. She mentioned that the car was extremely dusty when she took delivery, which was the first red flag. She then showed me a few paint chips and trim issues, which didn’t seem right to me for a new car.
Realizing I could check the manufacture date by looking at the door jamb, I checked, and sure enough, saw that it wasn’t a new vehicle, but rather one manufactured in December of 2022. The VIN pointed to a 2023 build, which made sense, but I couldn’t help but feel bad for her. What is the legality of Tesla selling her a 10 month old vehicle as new? Does anyone know if she has any recourse? She has already taken delivery of the vehicle and drove it off the lot. This doesn’t change anything, but she’s the sweetest lady and has been looking forward to the car for a while.
Any guidance would be appreciated, thanks!
