Sounds like the exact things that are missing in my car, plus a couple paint chips that need to be fixed. It arrived last Thursday, they won’t deliver it until all issues are resolved. Beyond painful, I just know there will be a snowstorm when it’s ready to be delivered.
Pass. Let’s not let our desperation get the best of us. Unless they are offering you something much more that a slightly earlier delivery, I don’t see the benefit.
Ask for $5-10k discount and see how they react. Never hurts to ask.
451 is not a ‘bastard lot’.
Since you’re hopefully only a few weeks out I’d wait. Plus waiting may give you the bonus of a 2022 model. If you were staring down the barrel of a Feb / March EDD I’d seriously consider taking the offer but it’s not worth it for me to save a few weeks.
If possible, hang in there.
All on free supercharging to boot.
That known damage history does not go away just because Tesla sold it as "new". It would seem an unnecessary risk on resale unless you are going to keep the car for a very long period of time.
Exactly the car I look at too. Usually I just force myself to stare at “MPG” and then remember that I want to stay electric (for the environment. And the acceleration)… but it’s getting more difficult.
A narrower window is a good sign, yes.
Or if leasing the car. I'd still ask for a major discount.
Curious, would it show up in the VIN history of the car since the car was not even sold at that point?
I believe if Tesla fixed it in house it would not show up, but im not 100% sure on that. I know I bought a MYP with a $5000 damage repair (Chicago riots, broken windshield and dented hood) and it had clean auto checks. I did get a substantial discount though.
Not sure, but usually every panel/bumper skin has a VIN sticker, and if one or more are replaced, that results in problems, trade in value wise. And if Trading into Tesla, they already know about the damage and would likely result in a lower offer from them as well.
