My guess that there is too much pressure from the public for profitability so Tesla might just want to nickel and dime any way they can including making your "order payment" non-refundable.
Yeah also known as penny wise pound foolish.
How much are rejected deliveries and harm to their reputation costing because they refuse to sell cars in reasonable condition with reasonable communication and the reasonable expectation of getting a car in decent shape with quality standards?
How is it that every other car dealer other than Tesla has figured out how to sell used cars in this price range in pretty much impeccable condition while still making quite a decent profit?
How is it going to help Tesla's bottom line when these CPO cars languish for months with monthly depreciation around $1,000-$2,000 per unit because they can't be bothered to clean up the cars, do some light refurbishing, have quality standards, hire a few people to efficiently communicate with customers and treat customers with the respect and consideration deserving of someone about to pay $50,000+ for a car?
If you have an inventory of 2,000 CPO cars, that inventory depreciates about $100,000 PER DAY. If they continue to refuse to sell quality cars and have to deal with disappointed customers rejecting deliveries and asking for their deposits back, what are they going to do in a year when they will have twice as many CPO cars to sell?
