    Tesla is either extremely incompetent, or extremely dishonest, or both.

    =====FINAL UPDATE ===== I am very happy to say that as of today the above nightmare scenario of having to wait another 8 weeks did not come to pass, and I have received all of my money back, including all refunds of deposits, loan repayment, etc etc. I thank all of you for your support...

    Tesla is either extremely incompetent, or extremely dishonest, or both.

    Well, isn't this amazing. 14 days ago I got an email saying everything was set and I was gonna get my refund in 5-10 business days. And then radio silence. After many unanswered emails, I again escalated the situation to the only person I know (who doesn't even work at Tesla) who has been able...

    Thanks for your support of my pointless whining saga, my friend. :) I’m sure this sort of thing happens with every car company but I’m also sure that this exact level of incompetency only routinely happens with Tesla. Wow! Are you sure? That’s seriously amazing news. I was so worried the bank...

    Tesla is either extremely incompetent, or extremely dishonest, or both.

    A while ago (like 10 days) they requested a payoff quote for my loan which made me hopeful that this nightmare was going to end. They even said it would be paid off before my next payment on the loan was due, but of course it wasn't, so today an automatic payment went out for the loan - I don't...

    Delivery shennanigans & terrible customer service

    What is wrong with you? As an ex-Tesla owner, Tesla has treated me so wrongly so many times that it is really, really hard for me to consider a Tesla for a new car. I am not alone. This happens. Not everybody who says they're tired of being mistreated by Tesla is part of a massive TSLAQ conspiracy.

    Bad, confusing, misleading delivery experience. Do NOT buy a used P90DL from Tesla.

    Do your math. A regular car with 35mpg would cost me about 7 cents of gas per mile to drive. A performance car with 20mpg that needs to be filled with premium gas (costs $3 where I live) costs about 15 cents a mile. Tesla Supercharging costs $0.28 per kWh. On average, the P90DL I gave back...

    Tesla is either extremely incompetent, or extremely dishonest, or both.

    Well, actually in the last few days more bad things happened, again about Tesla being incompetent and inconsistent, and resulting in me yet again being hugely disappointed. I am just so exhausted at this point that I don't even wanna discuss it all here, because it's depressing. I just wanna get...

    I did get a response today. It made me hopeful that there'll be progress soon, but of course, I'll see it when I believe it. Still, it was good to get a response.

    Tesla is either extremely incompetent, or extremely dishonest, or both.

    Update: No update. Nobody is responding to me. It's been a month since I gave them the car back and I still don't even have a timeline on any part of the refund. Meanwhile I still don't have a car and I have no means of getting one.
  10. DontDoIt

    Tesla is either extremely incompetent, or extremely dishonest, or both.

    Update: The situation with the unauthorized charges has been resolved. Update 2: I still have no word on the $63,000 refund for the car I've dropped off 3 weeks ago. I keep hearing it's being 'expedited' but I don't think I can honestly say any part of not receiving any portion of your 3-part...

    Tesla is either extremely incompetent, or extremely dishonest, or both.

    That is ridiculous! You and I are in the Tesla took our $7,500 for no reason club. I’m sorry! Nope. Anything outside of 200 miles to your delivery location. I’m serious.
  12. DontDoIt

    Tesla is either extremely incompetent, or extremely dishonest, or both.

    Update: Amazingly, the situation with the unauthorized payments has been resolved. As of today I've received refunds for 3 $2,500 payments. Still waiting on an ETA for the refund of the car I returned, but hey, I am glad to be able to back to 2 weeks ago when buying that new car thing never even...
  13. DontDoIt

    Tesla is either extremely incompetent, or extremely dishonest, or both.

    It is very hard to read your post. But to summarize, I am amazed that your argument against "a company needs to have good customer service" is that I shouldn't need a customer experience with transparency. Not sure how to counter to that. Your numbers continue to be wrong and confusing at the...
