knowing tesla, they would just repaint the exterior and leave the door jams the stock colorEwwww, completely repaint a new car a different color? No thanks....
Gross, but even if you did want to do that, $100 says that they want you to take delivery of the car first, they'll paint it later. But when you try to make an appointment to get it painted, magically no one will know what you're talking about. SAs say anything to close the sale.A lot of incentives on stock inventory. I got a call yesterday that they would repaint any inventory car I wanted at no cost or change the interior color, plus $1,000 off incentive. They said I basically had until Friday as it would take a while to change colors.
No. They said they could get it painted in a week. They said I would need to put a deposit down first.Gross, but even if you did want to do that, $100 says that they want you to take delivery of the car first, they'll paint it later.

Yeah that makes no sense. I would suspect they just have other colors in stock.Ewwww, completely repaint a new car a different color? No thanks....
just imagine the amount of rattles after reassembling the vehicle from painting that will show up. I'm sure they would gut everything out and remove the FWD's. That thought alone would have me close the chapter on this incentive and move on haha.No. They said they could get it painted in a week. They said I would need to put a deposit down first.
You understand this is a lie - to repaint a car you need to strip everything away - lights, trims, panels. Highly unlikely this is what they actually mean and even if they do, you don't want to accept that. Also, this is an exceptionally expensive and time consuming procedure, no way they are willing to do that to move inventory.That's what I said, but they said they have a lot of cars they want to move.
No. I don't believe it's a lie at all. They were willing to give me a VIN for insurance purposes and asked me if I want to change the color and if I do, I have to let them know by Friday.You understand this is a lie - to repaint a car you need to strip everything away - lights, trims, panels.

I didn't. I asked them if they could wrap it instead and they said no. They said changing the interior would take longer and they may not be able to do it before the end of the month.Don't do it. Just take the color from the factory if you need that bad. I still don't believe they will actually repaint it - ask them what shop will do it.
You saying they won't or it's not happening is odd. This is an active Tesla program that they are e-mailing and calling people on.Check how a car is generally painted in a factory. Notice the absence of any trim and interior fittings.
Now imagine a body shop repainting an assembled car. They definitely don't take apart the interior, but if you've ever been in a car painted at a shop, that smell will stay for weeks inside. Just forget about it (and it's not happening btw).
That's why I requested a call.I read that email differently - that you can choose from existing inventory with free paint "upgrade" assuming that is available in the inventory. So if the inventory has 10 red, 10 grey and 2 white cars you can pick white or red for free, but no blue (you have to wait for it to show in inventory). They will not pick the white car, send it to a shop, disassemble it, and repaint it, to satisfy your upgrade.
They use a Colorizer from the Toolbox app!Don't do it. Just take the color from the factory if you need that bad. I still don't believe they will actually repaint it - ask them what shop will do it.
I also strongly suspect it’s a lie; since we didn’t hear from the SA, that leaves the messenger.You understand this is a lie - to repaint a car you need to strip everything away - lights, trims, panels.

Why would they only allow this deal on existing inventory?I've never heard a bigger sales BS line in my life! NO way are they going to pull a car from inventory and repaint it. It would require a complete tear down of everything. I feel that they were just hoping to lock in a sale and then match you with a car or put one on order.
Because the point of the deal is to move inventory before the end of the quarter.Why would they only allow this deal on existing inventory?
That's not why I asked that.Because the point of the deal is to move inventory before the end of the quarter.
