Need Some advice

[MSDreamz]

They don’t have to take it back if there’s any modifications to the car - including window tint. Or they could have insisted the tint be removed at the customer’s expense prior to the return.

Either way, as a situation it sucks.

ahh I didnt realize that but yes it sucks lol

 

[MSDreamz]

They don't have to disclose damage. Sucks but that's the way it is.
You modified and sold parts off a vehicle you later decided to return. They don't owe you anything.

Ofcourse you have Disclose damage if you are buying a new what are you saying? you cant not disclose that kind of thing there are laws in place for that.

I don't believe a dealer/seller needs to disclose repaired damage. Someone with more knowledge of this can chime in. Now, whether it's repaired properly is another matter, but it's not as if the dealer needs to tell you they fixed a scratch or a seat tear or replaced the trunk struts etc.

Sure that also makes sense...Then why did Tesla call me after 4 days of delivery and asked me to come in and sign a document stating I am aware this was repaired.

That makes zero sense to me, so I can't comment because I don't know all the sides of this story.

If you signed a disclosure acknowledging you received a repaired vehicle, then in my opinion you have no legal grounds for recovery based on learning about the repairs from the tint shop. If you didn't sign the disclosure, then you likely still have legal standing.

Asking you to sign the disclosure four days after delivery is complete b*ll sh*t.

This is absolutely not correct.
Some states have laws about this, but not most, and the ones that do have specific requirements on the type of damage that must be disclosed.

If you think Tesla owes you something you should retain an attorney.

Retaining an attorney to recoup $1000 is nonsensical.

So is trying to ask for legal advice on a forum without telling anybody where you are located.

I am just asking to see if this has happened to anyone and maybe some direction

OP’s Avatar clearly states location as Dallas.

It wasn't in there earlier.

Texas isn't exactly consumer friendly. Dealers may be required to disclose previous collision damage, but that's a question for a local attorney.

 

[Mpglaw1]

Tesla had a duty to disclose the vehicle was damaged, even if repaired. By selling a damaged car as new they concealed the damage and actively sought to mislead the buyer. As someone who is waiting for a Model X, this troubling.

Isn’t Texas a non-Tesla state?

If so, the laws of the state it was purchased in May apply.

The OP's was location of "dallas" was in his avatar as of 9:15am 11/27/19, otherwise I would not have specifically mentioned Texas in post #10 at 9:17am on 11/27.

Do a Google search for "tesla texas"...many retail locations throughout the state.

Sounds like they are galleries, like we have in Michigan. Tesla can’t legally sell cars in the state. The transaction happens elsewhere. (Ohio, in my case.)
