That is very lame of them not to cover this

They don’t have the time or resources to check for an issue like you are describing. The values they give for trade ins are adjusted for the risk that comes from taking in cars with issues like you are describing.

You can always refuse to take delivery no matter if its leased etc. They can keep your deposit but they can't force you into delivery.

It sounds like a mistake and that there would be a strong chance they would remove it if /when they figured it out.

If you are buying from Tesla they will not allow it in 99.9% of cases.

They reserve the right to keep your $250 if you delay but I was able to get it back almost one year later. We delayed our purchase and I assumed that we had lost the deposit and was not a big deal but I was able to tell another sales advisor "we will order today if you can apply our old $250...

Walter Isaacson has issued a correction to this part of the book. https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/2023/09/12/elon-musk-walter-isaacson-ukraine/ "Walter Isaacson says it was simply a misunderstanding. In an interview with The Washington Post on Monday, the acclaimed author and journalist...

This is nowhere near the problem it used to be. You are a trooper for going through that many door handles. If you haven't been in a new Model S since 2013 youre going to be blown away at the quality improvements.

This is pretty normal and likely from moving the car in region. They’ll do this when it’s faster & cheaper than a tow/ truck move to get the delivery done faster. The odometer will not be less than 71. The paperwork is pulling the odometer from the connected car. If anything it will be...

If the dealership has offered to refund you, you should take that and walk away. The dealership definitely screwed up and they clearly don’t know a damn thing about teslas etc. get your money back. Buy a car from somewhere else and move on. If they did sell your Range Rover to another person...

Elon has hinted that this could happen on a previous earnings call. Tesla continues to produce the Model S and Model X more for “sentimental reasons than anything else,” CEO Elon Musk said Wednesday during a call with investors, calling the electric vehicles “niche” products. “They are really...

New car pricing will always impact the used market but the older the car, the less impact it will have.

It is possible that this is signaling a pending S and X update in Q4, but impossible to know for sure. Could just be that they saw softening demand and need to make sure all of these units and the next 4 production weeks get delivered before the end of Q3.

Ford dropped the F150 Lightning $10K in July of this year.

In the DTC model the consumer is exposed to this kind of price shock way more than the dealer model. It's not worse, it's just way more in your face. Tesla is able to take big margins when the demand is high that would otherwise have been taken by a "dealer markup". There is no way you're not...

It would be impossible to not be upset about the situation. You still have a great car. Best to not dwell upon it too much.

Tesla has been doing this since 2014. Nothing new here. In a DTC model, there is no "soft" touch they can take with this. There's a cut off date and they don't apologize for it. Started in 2014 when they announced dual motor and autopilot. No way to feel good about it if you just took delivery...

Tesla paint quality issues are exaggerated vs rest of contemporary competitors. PPF on the front bumper cover can cost as much as repainting a new bumper cover. Repainting a whole car is cost prohibitive ($10K+ to do it right) and would negatively impact resale value. There is no way to...

If you're open to it, you can always try to find a showroom/ demonstrator Model S LR or Plaid with some miles on it etc. I would go to a store and talk to someone and let them know youre looking for that specifically and to text you when they see something come up. edit* no matter what a...

You're going to have a very hard time finding a hard top Model S. The "all Glass roof" option is less prone to leaking than the sunroof from the older Model S. The best time to buy from Tesla is at the end of each quarter (sept 30th coming up) since they are trying to unload their inventory...

I think it’s probably right around 1000 of the AP1 P100D that were ever made. It also explains how your car was probably in inventory for a year before it sold because it had to discount a lot to be competitively priced vs the AP2 cars that came out shortly after.

Very odd to hear about the denmark functionality. Auto headlights with wipers has been a feature on US Tesla's since 2013

Tesla Lending | Tesla Support indicates that you'll be ok as long as you take delivery in NJ. I would confirm with your delivery specialist before you get on the plane though.

If it's not working the same way your other doors work, its under warranty. I think the person you spoke or chatted with may be was confused or something. They could not deny this under warranty.

Are you shopping on Tesla.com used inventory or third parties? To each their own, but for me range would be more important than the autopilot hardware. My last Model 3 had FSD, but did not option it on my current one. The base autopilot is already great and does everything you need IMO.
