@Stan Li, I will say this, if you choose not to take delivery when you are able to so then the only person you will be punishing is yourself.
Im not saying what Tesla did is right just that to deny yourself this car because of this would only hurt you.
Respectfully disagree strongly on tactical/policy grounds:
1. Irregardless how good the car itself is technically, he should not make like a carpet and meekly reward the company with his money for this shameless and insulting mistreatment, particularly when he has a ton of leverage in his hand to swing the outcome back towards equity.
2. Doing so would amount to training Tesla staff to abuse its enthusiastic customers, contrary to its own long-term interest.
3. That's why he should take the car + a complimentary set of winter wheels worth $3k to salve the hurtfeels/wasted expense, or, if they refuse, buy a NIO and deliver Tesla China the PR nuclear option.
4. But first exhaust all other avenues for a fair resolution --
@Stan Li should find the email address of the top boss of Tesla China and write them, enclosing all the evidence and making the argument for fair reparations while tactfully outlining where this
will end up if not scoring satisfaction. Also inserting a nuanced hint of the alternate legal action to recover costs occasioned by their failures may help nudge them over the line towards doing the decent thing and avoiding a much larger embarrassment.
5. He should naturally add that if this China boss fails to do the right thing then he will escalate the problem to Musk directly, thus delivering a subtle yet real threat to their recently-acquired position.
6. One must retain some healthy self-esteem and limit of tolerance, whereas BEV manufacturers are two-a-penny in China.
