I would actually recommend you consider not purchasing either. The reasoning is since you are doubting yourself spending a small increment of the actual purchase price, you should actually in fact be doubting the large purchase price of the car. My guess is this car is a stretch financially for...

Eclectic - after Tesla backed my P85D into a pole upon delivery, I refused it and got a 2013 CTS-V for $38,000. I actually really like the car. Although it's fast (especially at top speeds), it doesn't feel as fast as my vette but the suspension is awesome (extremely smooth). The sound system...

If you are conflicted, best not to get the car. Buy another less expensive car (let's say around $40k) and then wait 1-2 years until they extend the batteries and supercharger network, and price on the Tesla's gets depreciated.

I agree - why do I have to waste the last 5 days haggling and arguing to get a semi-fair proposal from them when they could have initially offered me a more appropriate deal. To finalize this post, here are my recommendations for Tesla since Elon values negative criticism: 1) Always inform...

I 100% AGREE. The way they price their inventory cars is VERY shady. They claim large discounts which are not in fact accurate because many of the features are now included or are greatly reduced pricing. I mentioned this on the phone yesterday when speaking with Tesla, but they kind of...

I'm SO TIRED of negotiating with Tesla. I really am. I don't want to keep pushing on these issues. It's easier for me just to cancel the whole deal.

No, they did NOT offer me $5000 in incentives. They offered me $2500 and compensation for the original $1650 transport fee I paid. So all things considered, it's a $2500 credit, not $5000. Also, since they don't have any inventory cars in region that match what I'm looking for (because they...

To give everyone an update on my final decision. They sent me an inventory car list which were not any where close to the deal I got with my original purchase. The cars in area have 4000+ miles (and often more expensive with less features), whereas the initial inventory car I was supposed to...

I actually informed Tesla about this thread and told them that I can either disclose or not disclose the terms of the deal. Since they were specifically told and did not say I have to hide the deal terms, I think it's fine.

So here's the latest update: I spoke to Tesla again today and this is the deal they ultimately proposed: 1) I don't have to take delivery of the car. In this case they will refund me the initial $1650 transport fee, my initial deposit, and the money I wired. In effect, this would mean I...

I believe the depreciation due to this accident was approx. $5,000 - $10,000 in lost resell value, based on the fact that I would have to disclose this information to a future buyer. IF they would have offered that compensation I most likely would have take delivery.

I'm considering ordering a new one.

To clarify, I spoke to Tesla today and they indeed agreed that I'm able to not take delivery of the car and have the funds reimbursed. They are sticking to the $1200 credit for future yearly service (2 yrs) and a rental car and reimbursement of the $1650 transportation cost I paid as their...

There's little drama here. I'm making a $130,000 decision tomorrow and I wanted to collect the wisdom of the forum. I appreciate the feedback and it certainly will be helpful in my final decision. Please also realize I've never owned a Tesla and I'm not familiar with depreciation issues caused...

One important legal question .. What if they claim I took delivery of the car? I don't think they will say this because I was on my way to take delivery when the accident occured. However, can someone back me up on the legal side? I put in a wire transfer to Tesla... So they have my money now...
