So I stopped by Oakville again on the way home, and they got another truckload since the morning. I counted 38 RWD model 3s on the lot....I couldn't even park, had to go to the side of the laneway!
Also, I did see one MSM with EAP and 19" wheels that had 'no delivery' and 'inventory' written on the tag hanging from the mirror
I inquired about it since it looked like a spare car tesla sent up, but was told all cars are accounted for. The sales guy looked confused though, and thought maybe a problem was found and the car was slated for service and would get a delivery date afterwards, but that still seems odd to me...
However....I asked if someone did walk up and buy it now (assuming it was available) would they get the rebate, and he said probably not since the order came after July 11th
but I still thought it was worth mentioning....
Another fun fact: I made mention of the guy who was trying to sell his model 3 reservation/order here for the 'small fee' of $6,000. He actually was reading the thread on this, and he confirmed that someone changing the account over at this late stage in the game would set off red flags at tesla, and they expressly say you can't transfer to someone who isn't a family member....or sell your membership for a profit.
I actually was exchanging some emails with our 'friend' using a fake Gmail account, and offered him 4k with the intention of making him drive to meet me somewhere far, and then not show up
Initially he responded but then went silent, so I guess he got a better offer. I feel bad for the person who paid 6k extra for a car that he won't get a rebate for. Hopefully the tesla rep doesn't let them transfer it. Buyer beware....
This should go out as a notice to all tesla reps in southern Ontario: if someone comes in trying to transfer a black RWD to a 'cousin' don't let them do it! Stick the original owner with the decision to cancel it, or pay for a second car
Maybe the model 3 owners president should try and get that message out. The sales rep was very clear: selling a reservation like that is not allowed and they should prevent this from going through .
