Is there any phone number with responsive support?
I have never received refund as Tesla send it on wrong bank account and do not reply emails since then

It looks like I was the only lucky guy to have gotten the 03/2019 pricing for an AWD. DM me and I will send you the reservation details. My suggestion is to file a complaint with the arbitrator and provide the evidence that someone (me) got the deal from 2019. I am no special compared to any others so if they did it for me, they can do it for you too. In fact, dropping RWD is Tesla's choice so ideally they should be upgrading everyone to AWD for free at 2019 prices. So I suggest you file a complaint with the arbitrator demanding AWD at 2019 RWD prices that you booked and settle for today's prices. That is still a saving of 13,000$ before taxes compared to current prices.

Hi @deadpoolvan I'm not sure how to DM but could you send me your Reservation details? I'm in the exact same boat and would like to take legal action or file with arbitrator.

Yes, they did. I attached the screenshot in the original post. Send them to the sales advisor. I reached out to Teslarati to cover the news so that others can benefit at a broader scale.

Could you please send me your reservation info at robfen at gmail dot com. I am working with a tesla lawyer right now after having initiated the arb case

I suspect that Tesla does have a plan to release RWD models sometime in the future.
They are forcing all of the early reservation makers to upgrade to the current config/prices - so that they wouldn't need to sell the RWD models at the lower prices.

Looks like this could become true soon - Tesla hacker indicates Model Y Standard Range+ variant could rollout from Giga Texas first

It's been almost 3 months, and I have not yet received my refund from Tesla.
Will they mail a check? OR will they post a credit on the credit-card that was used originally?

Considering that the price has increased considerably since we all ordered and Tesla is honoring price lock-in for those that paid $250 just a few months back, I think it makes sense to rally all those impacted and make a claim here to honor the prices for us, that were published when we paid $2500 2-3 years back without even seeing the vehicle in person.

 

[tranquilizer]

I sent an email to [email protected] that I would like to raise a dispute and that I want an arbitrator assigned, as @deadpoolvan recommended. Let's see if we get a response.
As like others, I also have not received the refund for an order cancelled in December. I mentioned again and again in email to the sales advisors that it is not my intent to cancel and that I am being forced to cancel. Have the proof for these in emails.

Honor the price for what? Something they are not making, or something you didn't order?

Honor the price of the options, which was explicitly the point of the pre-orders we all made. Some customers were afforded this privilege. Others were not. That's the issue.

Tesla has made special accommodation even for those folks that paid $250. They can now change configurations where each option will cost exactly the same as they booked the order.

But from what I have read, only if they keep the same trim level. If they switch between LR and Performance their price changes to the current price. So they can change exterior color, wheels, interior color, 5/7 seats, and the tow option without getting the new price book. So it still wouldn't let you switch from RWD to LR AWD without getting the new prices.

I was able to change the color of my order without any price change. I tried to switch to performance just to check if the price change to current price but to my surprise it did not. I can confirm it uses the price of performance when I ordered my LR not the current price.

Gist is that it is a super easy thing to do for Tesla, if they have some interest towards early loyal supporters like us.

Did anyone have success having an arbitrator assigned?

Btw, everyone @here, please feel free to chime in. I just tagged those that liked some of the posts in this thread.

No, I conceded and placed a new order but still interested in pursuing the original order if someone is willing to lead the way
