Thanks, guys. I like the refinance idea. I didn't realize that was a thing with cars. I have been leasing for a while, so I am a little rusty on the purchase side.Unfortunately I doubt they will be able to do much, hope I am wrong though.
This is a downside of the operating model of Tesla (control from the top down), although I feel the pros (no price gouging / last minute add ons / tricks by the salesman ) outweigh the cons, it is still unfortunate that when things like this happen and the local SA TRULY wants to help, their hands are tied.
Upper management likely will never even know what happened as they will be able to sell that car to someone else in seconds.
My suggestion would be to take it, even at the higher rate and just re-finance it through someone else.
As mentioned above, you should be able to get a much lower rate through a credit union and this would allow you to take the car AND stick it to the original financier by them getting almost nothing as you take the financing away from them after the fact. (Just make sure it has no early pay off penalties).
@EightYears I hear what you are saying 100%. They will work to fix the issue today, so I figure it was worth a shot. If nothing else, it gives me a chance to look for alternative financing.
I will update you guys when there is a resolution.
