Hi everyone - early last week, I placed an order for a custom white Model 3 Performance. On Friday, I noticed there was a black version available for local delivery in Tesla’s new inventory. I called to inquire about switching my order and within the afternoon was able to do so. I scheduled delivery for Tuesday and have since taken delivery.
After today’s price cut news, ordering a new identical version today of the car I’ve owned since Tuesday would save ~$9-10k. Additionally, with knowledge of the EV rebate eligibility, waiting on the custom order I originally purchased would save ~$20k.
I spoke to Tesla sales folks several times last week and heard they had been informed by corporate that news of how the EV rebate would work would trickle down from on high within the week. With that in mind, it’s likely that Tesla corporate knew full-well that these price cuts were going to be announced prior to delivering my vehicle.
Under the legal covenant of “good faith and fair dealing,” I may have been entitled to Tesla’s obligation to inform me and let me cancel/reorder or qualify for the new price.
I’m looking for other people in similar situations to mine. Please post here or contact me if you or someone you know is affected by this situation.
