So I recently went on a test drive and the store lead SA (i guess) said she was aware of the change and that it wasnt a permanent thing. She stated some come with them and some without them. They’re not reverting back to the old for sure, so im assuming, and this is just logically speaking…that certain builds in the end of april got the older versions. Ive seen others mention vin’s higher than you and have been getting the matrix lights. If i was you personally, i’d reject the car and have em send u another one because you have nothing to lose from a rejection. The SA stated that if i were to reject, another car would be assigned within 2 weeks….now idk how accurately that is…but since there are higher vins than you getting them with matrix lights put back in…I wouldn’t mind rejecting and seeing what the higher vin has…..on the flip side now…if you dont accept your second car, then your order is cancelled and ur out $250 and months of waiting….so its your choice but if i was you, i’d reject and see if the new one will have em (i think theres a high chance it will). Just some friendly advice bro
I would have done the same! Good move, although now we will have to be careful of rejects getting reassigned even if it is true they are putting the matrix lights back in. I ordered the exact same car as you, OD of 3/4 . . . ;-)
Unknown. They’d better not assign me one of the rejected ones. Haha
That makes two of us...this has been the worst car buying experience of my life and is definitely my first and last tesla.
I asked my SA to go and check for me after sending them the articles about the matrix lights stopping production
That’s what they’re banking on. Most people probably won’t notice or care, which is fine for them. But personally that was one of the deciding factors for me to get the car as nothing else in this price range has matrix capable lights.
Yes, I have never felt this much exposure to shady business practices before. It’s just one thing after another.
Great show me another EV that has the features, performance, range, supercharging network for $30K (half the price of the model 3 Performance). Actually show me any new ICE car that can offer the features, functionality, and AWD performance of the Model 3 Performance at $30K (half the price of the model 3). And please don't post up a Hyundai Sonata or Toyota Camry. First of all they are not $30K loaded, and second they can't come close to the performance.
Oh great, we found a fan boy who desperately tries to justify these over priced cars...
So when I said half the price I was talking about the features Tesla has in basic auto pilot. And yes, my 2021 sonata limited can do it all even down to the blind spot view monitor (when you hit the blinker it shows you a video of blind spot). It was $32k. Also has homelink. My Buick can park itself and also has all of the safety suite with the exception of the blind spot view monitor.
