I understand your sentiment,
I don't understand expecting
a corporation to not project
payments with honest dates?
if tesla was gilding the lily for
earnings reports, and these
refunds were a HUGE portion
of the balance sheet, why then
wouldn't they have promised
all individuals delivery into next
quarter, they could have very
easily promised me 8 weeks?

4-8 weeks is incredibly arbitrary. Refunds can be done near instantly in most corporate financial systems. When I hear 4-8 weeks to me that says "we are pushing this out for some reason".I understand your sentiment,

To be fair- Tesla gives people utterly unrealistic delivery dates for things all the time and then misses them- and have since pretty much their founding.
Doing anything on time, or close to it, let alone $5000 refunds on time, is pretty surprising.
I agree saying 4-8 weeks and then insuring they all arrived after 1/1/19 would probably have made more sense accounting-wise....my mistake was in assuming Tesla would do the intelligent thing on a point of paperwork, which a place they rarely do, so my bad

I was being very hyperbolic with saying instantly, but yeah, 3 days is reasonable. With such a large list the systems I have used would have some sort of mass adjustment upload which would speed things up a bit but I think we are on the same page.Not that I have ever seen. In my current company refunds take this process:
The absolute fastest that a refund could be issued is 3 business days. But the AP department only cuts non-emergency refund checks on Wednesdays. Of course, I have no idea what Tesla's refund/AP process looks like. (And I suspect they do fewer refunds than we do; as we do around 1,000 per week.)
- Refund data entered. (I'm not familiar with the steps prior to this in how the refund gets to the data entry person.)
- Batch balanced and submitted
- Batch approved by Supervisor
- Overnight process interfaces the batch into the AP system
- AP Batch approved by AP Supervisor
- Checks cut and delivered to AP Manager for signature. (Any refund over $999.99)
- Checks over $4,999.99 delivered to Controller for second signature.
- Signed checks, and back-up, delivered to Document Imaging department to be imaged.
- Checks and backup go to QA person to validated that everything was imaged, and filed, correctly.
- Checks and backup delivered to mailroom personnel to be stuffed and mailed.
That's worse. Now some random forum person can send you whatever hat they want as a Christmas gift and you must eat it.If anyone remembers, I said I'd eat my hat if someone got a refund before the end of 2018. Luckily I don't wear hats.
Wait, now I'm confused... does that mean you have it in hand or you're secured in the knowledge that it's coming.Refund secured here too.
