Wanted to float this to see others thoughts on it. Realize for most in the forum, this won’t apply to but worth asking.
Placed the order for a MYLT bavm
In the summer. Put down the “order fee” (Tesla is careful to avoid calling it a non-refundable deposit give laws in CA protecting consumers on that). But in the interim, has dropped feature after feature. Not big things but just item after item, making it less of a luxury car (in the $70-80k range) and more on par with a basic car. No ultrasonic sensors. Manual adjustment on passenger seat. Etc etc. Keep in mind, no action has been taken on the order (no VIN etc).
Seems a bit of bait and switch here. Take the non-refundable order fee. Then deliver a vehicle with different/less features 6 months later.
Surprised this isn’t overstepping some consumer protection laws. Or at least getting some lawyers interested.
