@Tom Macdonald - I think a visit to the Charlotte SC for a “chat” is appropriate at this point. My advise to you (which is free, so take it with a grain of salt) is to remain very calm and polite with whomever you speak. Given your situation, this will be quite difficult, but I am a big believe that you generally atttact more flies with honey than vinegar. As others have suggested, you want to accomplish three things with your visit.
1. Have Tesla refund all of your money except the $2500 deposit (assuming you still want the car)
2. Have Tesla give you a loaner or pay for your rental until your car actually arrives (since you sold your car anticipating a delivery date THEY scheduled, this is appropriate)
3. Have Tesla schedule a delivery date that they believe they can meet. Saying “sometime before year end” isn’t specific enough and since your situation is very different from most it would seem appropriate for them to go the extra mile in your case. Plus, scheduling a firm date puts a bit of pressure on them to meet it.
Good luck to you sir.
