Got VIN and Model Y delivery price increased by $4000

The fact that they are unwilling to change your order back is bullshit on their part, also the fact that Tesla's Customer service is lacklustre is also bullshit. They should have just changed your order back.. that most decent thing to do.

What’s the remedy? Go back to the original order price?

There’s no possible way for your order to be cheaper because silver was only free after the price increases and any change at that point would have bumped the price to the current price at that point.

yes just go back to red/white and $1000 off my current white/black price OR give me $4000.

as others have said change it back when seems like misunderstanding on both parts costs nothing and they refused so seems unreasonable to some and maybe to a judge also but let arbitration decide and at least be heard by impartial 3rd party

exactly - hope the judge assigned thinks the same way. i’m asking for just honor original contract - no changes.

Wait.. you haven't bought a car from Tesla, yet you want them to give you $4000?

I'm rooting for ya, but that seems a little outrageous.

Ah! got it. I honestly hope you can get the original price, but this will be an uphill battle for sure. Good luck and enjoy your new car!

100% agree that their frequent price increases and non-ability to change an order well before the car was built sucks.

I have a feeling that if you take delivery of the vehicle before arbitration it may go against you. Especially since you were excepting the new configuration that’s the original one that you ordered.

Good luck I hope all goes your way

The normal tesla policy is if you change anything on your order the price will adjust to the current price and as I recall there where 3 price increases in October.

Except when you only REMOVE FSD. No take backs after that. If you do add FSD again, surprise. Current price.

 

[D.E.]

Nah we agreed on price and that was new agreement. If they can't execute then need to be up front.

I'm curious what they will do because it's just cheaper to pay me $4000 than go through Arbitration as will cost at least $500+1700+1500+$200= $3900 win or lose. Costs me nothing so why not try is what I'm going to advise anyone else in the same situation. Tesla has hundreds of billions so probably doesn't care but might as well jump on the bandwagon before they revise the agreement lol

It isn’t pay you the $4k vs $3900 it costs them, it’s pay everyone the $4k with a similar beef, so it’s the $3900 once or many $4ks. In the past when a person has gone down the legal path and become a royal PAI to Tesla, Tesla has locked them out of ever purchasing a Tesla, now or in the future. I don’t know what level of PAI one needs to achieve to get purchase banned or even if Tesla still does this, but there are people who held Tesla’s feet to the legal fire and then found themselves purchase banned. I don’t suggest this should alter your plans, I merely pass on this information.

Alot of folks don't read the fine print.

I did not make changes to the order. The service guy made changes to the order and he did not confirm it. That is the key eg they screwed it up as my specific instructions were make sure it's $3000 less and they did not. They could have just said sorry can't do it and then original would have stayed the same but instead they did not.

$100 reservation fee and TESLA guarantees will set up and pay for a AAA arbitrator as in the agreement seems like it's going to cost them a lot of money.

This is like saying you ordered a cup of coffee but told them you would like to use two coupons, when the coupon said only one per use, and they eventually refused the second one later. Btw you’re going to lose the arbitration, saving you some time.

 

[Blubrown21]

Goodluck this will be tough. Hope you read all over the fine print.

Obviously not. He is still asking to go back to his original order and save $1000 or save $4000. In what world do you expect to go back to how it was and save money?

 

[Shinster]

You guys are really fanboying hard when you say this is OPs fault. Assuming what he says is true, he (and we) should be able to rely on what a Tesla Sales rep says, I don’t care what the agreement says afterwards.

Also say what you want about what the sales agreement says about making changes, but not being able to go back to the original config right away is nonsense.

Doubt this...Unless the facts are presented differently. Your analogy makes no sense because that isn't what happened.

Lol hey I know it's highly unlikely he will get it but I wanted to say something somewhat positive.

Changing something should not increase the price to current pricing UNLESS the vehicle has already been made and now they have to go back and REMAKE it. They expect folks to sit on their decision for months and months on end... absolute greed.

 

[RyanS]

Well… This thread is concerning since I am trying to change my LR to P. According to the other thread, Tesla changed the policy and you can edit design without changing the price to the new pricing.

Accept that this thread is from before that change went into effect so really does not apply to current order edits

Tesla only recently changed the edit design + pricing policy a few weeks ago. What you say "Changing something should not increase the price to current pricing" was not true. Any edits would cause a price bump to current.

Only recently has Tesla allowed edits without using "latest" prices.
