I am interested in a model Y. On paper it ticks off everything I want as a replacement for my I3 coming off lease. The I3 has been flawless as have those of two friends who leased them also. (BMW had great lease deals, 319 a month, 10,000 miles 3600 to start lease on a 55,000 dollar car). This forum scares me to death. I do realize most car forums contain a lot of negative posts as people having a good experience rarely post about it. What’s posted here is however beyond bad often with pics to back the posts up. My attempt to get a test drive seemed to mirror the bad experiences posted here.
Even given all the forum info I decided to try again at a Y purchase or lease. I finally was able to speak to a sales person and he said I must purchase the car in advance with full payment before delivery and I have to accept delivery without so much as a test drive and can’t reject the car based on inspecting it at handover. Is this correct? Are there any work arounds? I have never ordered a car I could not reject after a inspection and test drive. Is there something I am missing? What happened to Tesla’s if you don’t like it return it in 7 day policy? I asked what would happen if it showed up missing a door and he said it’s your car but we will schedule a appointment to fix it! There must be something I am not understanding, no test drive, really? My last car purchase they required me to drive it and made me go through a checklist with them to insure everything worked before we signed the final paperwork.
Suggestions?
