This is the second expiration on the trade in. I accepted delivery for a week and now they want to redo? I don’t think that is a good customer relations move. By accepting delivery that would essentially be accepting the current contract for nothing sides one would think I’m sending a email to their resolution team and hoping that cooler heads prevail.
I take accepted delivery as both parties agree to price, correct car, and date. I.E. a contract. You will be required to accept delivery at some point prior to them moving forward on delivery. My value dropped $3000 each trade in redo. This would be #3. I own 2 Teslas now. I cannot get anyone on the phone. I wrote to their resolution department but they won’t help unless it’s legal related. They didn’t say if I’d hear from them. So limbo. The delivery staff says redo or cancel. I went ahead and resubmitted but guess will cancel if they reduce price again. 10,000$ will be the decrease in value with only 600 miles added and 2.5 months of time. Sad. They simply do not care.
shoot, ready, aim……….they need an updated milage to put on odometer disclosures they usually do that as close to delivery as possible to be as accurate as possible on the paperwork.
It's the timing and appearance of squeezing the turnip. I was supposed to take delivery December 30th. They want to get another $3K out of me on a Model S deal? I've already taken 2 trade in reductions WAITING on the S. The 3rd will likely break the deal. If they want a mileage check/verification, then that's fine. It looked to be that at first contact, but now, not so much. New pictures from every angle too. What? They think I wrecked my trade in?I’m not sure how you equate “scheduled a delivery appointment” to “accepted and locked in all terms and conditions of every aspect of the sale”. The latter happens when you actually TAKE delivery and sign the paperwork.
Put another way: If market conditions changed and Tesla announced an additional $3,000 discount between the time you scheduled delivery and the time you actually took delivery of the car, you’d likely expect that discount and throw a $3,000-sized fit if you didn’t get it ya?
Trade quotes are only good for a specified period. If that period is over, the quote is invalid. Used car prices are dropping like rocks right now so yeah, you should expect a lower offer.

“Trade-in offers are valid for 30 days or 1,000 miles, whichever comes first, and are contingent on the information you provide about the vehicle being accurate.”
Thank you. At least someone feels a little pitty for me. 3 trade in reductions seems excessive, but this last one about a week before I take delivery is the turd in the room.
If you believe your car has more value than you are getting you can always keep it and sell it outright,
I'm going thru the motions to see what their offer will be. Couple hundred OK. But $3K a week before delivery? That's pretty greedy. No human to talk to either is nuts. I see why some people don't follow thru or take business elsewhere.
Yes, of course. But really late in the game now. I doubt I could sell and get the funds in a week. Carvana and those types are about 4K above Tesla's previous offer before this recent re-eval. I didnt do before because I didnt want to be without my car. I didn't plan on 3 trade in downgrades. I just think it's not good business to do this a week before delivery after all had been agreed to. I see what they are getting as an average for my trade in and they stand to make quite a deal on me. That doesn't sit well while we are talking about this whole process. They need a profit, but to do it this way seems excessive. I dont want to go back to an ICE vehicle, but they may force me.
If you go back to ice you will have to buy Cialis then, you might look at the cost differences
No so much the cialis that bothers me. It’s the gas station routine, cost, and inconvenience. Like I said, if it’s relatively a small price difference OK. But throwing on $3k a week before delivery might just be one pushed button too many.
No, they want to re-evaluate the value of your trade in current market conditions, which are changing rapidly. This is why trade-in quotes are only good for 30 days, which they're very up-front about. When did you receive your last quote?
Again, you seem to be blaming the current conditions in the used car market on Tesla. That's just plain silly. If it were a year ago and used prices were still appreciating, How would you feel about the current situation? No doubt you'd be demanding a re-evaluation of your trade-in value to protect YOUR interests, just like Tesla is.
