To those complaining about slow refunds, I just looked back at the agreement when I paid my $3200. I think you should count yourselves lucky to be getting the money back at all because this isn't a deposit, it's an "order payment" and it was never refundable:
Maybe stop bashing Tesla and count your blessings. They would be well within their rights to say no, and pretty much any other company would, including every car dealership I have ever dealt with. Tesla have incurred costs and done you a big favour.
EDIT: Not only that but the very next paragraph is this - not sure how they could have made it any clearer:
Order; Nonrefundable Order Payment; Changes. Once you submit your completed order, we will locate a vehicle to match your Vehicle Configuration and coordinate the shipment of the Vehicle for delivery. Your Order Payment covers the cost of these activities and other processing costs and is nonrefundable; it is not a deposit for the Vehicle.

EDIT: Not only that but the very next paragraph is this - not sure how they could have made it any clearer:
Cancellation; Default. We incur significant costs in managing your order, and locating and coordinating delivery logistics for your Vehicle. We may also incur significant costs for remarketing and reselling the Vehicle, including additional coordination, logistics and transport costs. If you cancel or default in this Agreement, you will not be refunded your Order Payment as it has already been earned by us in taking and processing your order. You acknowledge that the Order Payment amount is a fair and reasonable estimate of the actual damages that we have incurred or may incur as a result of your breach of this Agreement, damages that are otherwise impracticable or extremely difficult to determine. When you take delivery of the vehicle we will provide a credit to the final purchase price of your Vehicle equivalent to the amount of the Order Payment you paid. This Order Payment and this Agreement are not made or entered into in anticipation of or pending any conditional sale contract.
