So you want a 4K gift because they won’t do a white interior? You can’t compare the P3D situation, that was a blatantly quick price drop that wasn’t fair.
The Motor Vehicle Purchase Agreement is a Contract. This is an exchange of promises. Telsa promised to sell me (and others) a LR RWD with white interior, I promised to pay ~ $55k and provided a $3,500 deposit (which forms the "consideration" aspect of the Contract).
Telsa can honor their side of the Contract by ... a) providing the vehicle specified ... b) selling me another long range model with a white interior that is acceptable to me or meets the MVPA specification including the CONTRACT sales price .... or c) wait for a future date and issue a credit for the lost tax deduction caused by their broken promise.
Not sure why you take offense to this? Like the P3D issue, Tesla banks on lots of under-educated people just bending over. It is exactly the same as buying a new house, signing a contract, paying a deposit and then being told you need to pay more for your new house. In this case almost 10% more ... for a vehicle that is going to have 10% less range than what I want.
Even at a full price match where Tesla is selling me AWD for the price of RWD, this represents an inferior vehicle for me. It is a car that weighs more and has less range. How is that a "gift" ??
Every person with a MVPA for a LR RWD with a White interior should ask for whatever remedy they want for the broken Contract. It is utter ignorance to believe that Telsa can put a White interior in a crippled midrange battery pack but not the LR battery pack. Both are RWD only.
