Is this a Sign of a Bigger Issue?

This is not looking good to me. I first send in a request for a refund on December 8th, 2008. My first reply came back on December 9th, letting me know that they do not exactly understand why I would want it back, but that they would be happy to return it to me. I replied back to them that day to confirm that I would like a refund... time passed with no contact and no refund.

I let a month go by just to make sure there was time to get everything processed. I sent in another message on January 12, 2009. I got a response the next day telling me that my refund had not been processed and that the accounting department as been busy with end of year processes. Once again I was told that my refund would be processed ASAP, and they were sorry for the delay.

Now another week has gone by with no contact and no refund. I have sent yet another message.

Is this a sign of trouble? I hope I am not the first one to find out that they have run out of cash and things are not as we have been told.

My only reason for the refund was the fact that I am not ready to buy right now and the deposit no longer secures me a place in line now that my number has been called.

After the release of the new pricing and option unlocks etc. I have more reason to get it back. I have already sent part of my deposit over to Fisker. I do believe in the promise of the EV. I just can no longer believe in the promise of Tesla.
