I'm sure I'm the only one who noticed/cared that Tesla has historically (they are slightly more forthcoming now) done everything they can to hide the cash price from the buyer. They say "after rebates and savings" . This is more dirty business, and I don't know who it was who said that the...

Yes. I do. Doctors, stores, family. Several times a month. A free tank =/= free fuel for life. Also, while we're at it oshit it's raining gotta bring in the crated chair. dammit

No lifetime free gas or diesel are ever offered for ICE vehicles either, also they "give" as bonuses 1000kW or something packs, or did I make this up? I live 200 miles from the city. I would have to use a supercharger a lot. BTW this particular supercharger, in all the times I have driven...

It's not the sticker price, although I was so stupid as to believe the $35k Model 3 promise, expecting fully loaded to be $50k ish not $72k. And I have looked into (non C) POs with amazement at the randomness of the pricing. It is the fact that the cars are completely, wholly unreliable. And...

If you're happy with it, that's what matters. You obviously have more money/time/patience than I. Enjoy! I am sad that I am unable to justify the purchase of a vehicle I have lusted after for over 10 years.

I let all the cheerleaders convince me to invest a huge chunk of my liquid assets in a Tesla, stuff like this Seriously, folks? This is ok? How much extra money/time/patience do you have? And I'm an asshole for expecting a high-end car to come to me fully assembled, ready to drive. Just...

truly sorry to hear that.

Dood. Go on the news, Help Me Howard! This is rick-diculous.

Wow if that isn't some of the thinnest skin I've seen outside the old folks' home. ROFL

There are several companies who make shades, and Tesla offers them as well

As mentioned by others, the laws are intentionally vague so as to insulate those with power, money, and influence, to indeed break, nay flout it. I agree that it's dirty business, but in the end you can't fight City Hall. I fought the law, and the law won. I think I heard that somewhere

Long story short. Noone. There is no one who wants to hear anything but glowing praise. Thank you and have a nice day. /snark Really, you're about to get jumped on because you jUst DoN'T geT iTT! You are privileged to have had the opportunity to experience the marvel, truly PARADIGM...

I bet there is a clause hidden in the paperwork they shove in your face and try to make you sign in 3 minutes after you have paid for the car and before you take possession.

Or, stop payment. I have had funds withdrawn from my account when the payor stopped payment after the check was deposited and cleared. So it is possible.

Sounds like Tesla is the automotive Federal Reserve. They may be wonderful cars to drive, but I just can't take the chance that I will be one of the magical "small percentage" that get totally screwed with no lube. Dirty dirty business
