I was double charged for my car, as in they withdrew 60k from my bank account twice
I did the same, but it sounds as if home delivery is treated differently. You aren't allowed into the car, because for some reason they treat it like a bag of chips. Once it's open, it's sold.When i went to the pick up center I told them I wanted to inspect before accepting.. I was given the key cards to open the car and inspect.. He said just don't move it...After I spend about 45 min inspecting I then accepted the terms and gave them my check..
It probably depends on the service center and time of delivery taken. When I took delivery, I could go into the car and look around. When my coworker took delivery (a month later), I went with him. We were put in a lounge and can only get to see the car "after" he sign off the delivery. He insisted that he see the car first. So they did finally let up and let us go walk around the car outside. They didn't give us the keycards so can't get inside the car to look.I did the same, but it sounds as if home delivery is treated differently.

'[Now that I am more experienced with Tesla, I would walk away and forfeit the $250 deposit.]'I agree with Need, each result different for every who, what, when, why, where and how. I took delivery in May 2022 and they had parked the car in front of the store. I asked if I could inspect the car before accepting delivery (by paying for it), and they said, "Sure. Take up to 2 hours and inspect it all you like. Do not touch the car or approach it any closer than arm's length. We want the first person who touches the car to be you." Silly me, thought that must mean it got to the front of the store with "Summon"? And after transferring the money to their account, they handed me the key cards and wished me well.

interesting take.This kind of behavior will come to a screeching halt soon as more competition comes to market and demand and supply equalize.
I have told quite a few new owners about TMC, people whom I think have the capability to learn from the experience of others. No takers. Very interesting.interesting take.
One could argue that the small subset of people that care about this reasonably priced “luxury” EV has an audience that (for the most part) doesn’t care.
TMC’s total membership VS Tesla’s quarterly sales seems to back that up.
Yup. Just like all the shady, sleazy, and infuriating traditional dealership practices caused all the legacy automakers to go under decades ago.This kind of behavior will come to a screeching halt soon as more competition comes to market and demand and supply equalize.
