If it were me for $1k I’d probably just do it anyway, citing the “product not as described” as the reason. The contract states the car can exhibit normal wear and tear, but from what you describe, the damage goes beyond normal wear and tear - and therefore not subject to the limitations of the contract.
Whether or not you want to risk Tesla blacklisting you is another matter. I have no data on how often they actually do that for chargebacks.
