2 major delays
last window was May/June/July show on June 20th, 2018
Called them on June 20th, said Aug is getting close
They said, new big invites, should be able to order/config first week of July and get the car in 3 to 6 weeks

Got the invite EARLY "nice"
BUT
The delivery NOW is
Delivery between Sep. '18 - Nov. '18

This is BS BS BS BS

Not a Happy camper

This can be my first and last Tesla , do NOT like the games the play

Also, the web page did show 7500 credit

If I do not get this credit, I will claim fraud

I can "wait", but want/demand 7500 credit

I know he pushing the envelope, which is good, but does create harm even death at times

note my first e car
I leased I3 for my wife, she loved it, very funky car
lease was up, I found a very nice used car for $15k
The only con is the range, but for the city, very nice car
M3 is nicer , but you need to accept the BS Tesla plays, do not like it
not a way to run a Co
4+ rounds of major delays , its a game the play
long as a get a high quality M3 AND 7500 credit, I will live with this
but ALL folks ask me, I will tell them you have NO CLUE when you will get the car

Don’t blame Tesla. Blame the absolutely ridiculous rebate program

I do feel it will work out, but the key for me is the 7500 credit
If I lose it, I will be very very upset and claim fraud since web site had 7500 credit
they play games to max $$$
but people can/will get harmed on this, ie lose $$$
I do not like to lose $$$

I will be a happy camper IF
I get full 7500 credit
AND
M3 is high quality

The whole point of your delay, and everyone else’s (yes you’re not the only one) is to ensure you get that rebate.
 
I'd like to disagree with statements like this. In my country we don't have the 7500$ benefit, but we have other incentives.
Let me be very clear: I could not afford my Model S without these incentives. I'm already stretching budget now.

So losing this incentive could very well mean someone will no longer be able to purchase the car.

If someone wants this car due to environmental benefits and is stretching his budget to get it, I dont see why that would fall into the 'wanting it for the wrong reasons' category.



If you are building in a non-guaranteed government subsidy or rebate into the affordability of your car, you can't afford that car.
 
I find this thread really difficult to read. My grammar sirens kept going off.

Big Billy: Take a look and see if Dallas has any other incentives too. I know some Counties/cities/states had their own electric rebate plus even credits for installing charging equipment in your own home.

There was something about Tesla trying to hold off on getting US holders to receive delivery with July 1st deadline for extension or something. I remember reading something about that that so they can get as many of the 200k car limit under for their tax rebate. But it was a few months ago when people were complaining about Canadian's getting their M3's before the US holders.

Say you got your car tomorrow - are you

1.) Old enough to drive it

Or

2.) Have medical clearance to drive it?
 
I can handle the HEAT
but, I have zero tolerance of FRAUD
like I said, i'm ok with the delay, I know they want/need to make $$$
but do NOT defraud people in the process
That is a NO GO line for me

No fraud going on by Tesla.
I think you’re being a little dramatic.
That’s the media’s approach. Don’t be like the media. :)

Tesla claimed estimated savings.
The credit is out of their hands.

They delayed to extend the credit. ....
Hopefully everyone gets it. Some may not.
That’s the game.

Elon is the first corporate leader I’ve seen that seems to actually consider the consumer at all.
If you follow him, you would see his intentions seems altruistic. One of the few.
He’s fighting through production hell, and a totally new process.

He’s someone I would give some slack to.
I keep hearing:
“Tesla is playing games now”
“Tesla is lying to us now”
“We should sue Tesla”.

I just don’t understand drama like that for this situation.
