Sept. 2020, End of Qtr, Free upgrades, NOT!
- Thread starter pfbz
- Start date
I just check with my SA, it is still available. Message me if you need her details.
When did you guy placed the order. It's very important what day and time that you placed the order.
I guess I got lucky. Officially placed my order around August 18. Was told that there were some delays. No problem, I'm out of town the first 2 weeks in September. 1 day before scheduled delivery, on my way home from the airport I'm reading about all these incentives. Called my rep, he said I could go from the extended range blue + rims to the sleeper preformance blue plus rims for 500 less. If I wait another week. Nothing's done til it's done but I paid my down payment and I'm looking forward to picking it up in 5 days or so.

It really depends on location. Cars for California are produced at the end of the quarter. Last weekend, there was literally almost zero inventory near Fremont.
that's a fair point but from what I read the spirit of the incentive was if you had ordered a car and there was one that you'd take that was in inventory that you'd take they could ok the color or wheel change for free to move the inventory car. It didn't seem like it was you could order a white car with 18" wheels and be delivered a blue one with 19" wheels later. Maybe i'm wrong on that but that's how i read it.

I test drove Saturday at Fremont, placed an order with the Sales Advisor, confirmation showed the full amount (not showing the discounted upgrade to 19" wheels and Deep Blue color). Sent an email to my sales advisor, no response so I cancelled my order Monday night. Tesla wall charger arrived Tuesday which I have sent back already.
Got a call from a Tesla Agent earlier saying that the deal needed to be individually approved and if I am still interested I can still order with the free upgrades and 2 years of free super charging.
I've been highly disappointed with this process I respectfully declined.

I placed an order on Sunday at Fremont and my SA said he will put in a request and will be taken care of in 3 to 4 business days. Nothing happened and my SA won't respond to texts. So I called Tesla and they told me that it will take up to 4 business days and he also told me that he would make sure SA would call me and update. None of that happened yet.

Not sure why you cancel the order so quickly? SA should mention it'd take a few days to process the discount. You can always cancel the order before delivery anyways.

I emailed my SA and left her a voicemail but no communication back. I went into Tesla at Cherry Creek Colorado today and asked them if I can get the 2 years of SC. They said that should be no problem. They even emailed me a confirmation. To qualify for this you must ask your SA before your 7 day return period. I inquired about the free upgrades and was basically shut down very quickly. But hey I'll take 2 years of SC better than nothing.
Exactly. Poor management (on the sales chain) created the drama. Strong management (on the executive side) could have turned it into a win.
The reality is that optional paint and interior colors have no measurable impact on production cost, but booking several hundred new sales in Q3 that are now lost would have had significant impact on gross revenue and unit volume numbers.
Teslas handling of the situation created negative impact on both their reputation and quarterly results.
Ironically, as much as I'm piling on Tesla here for this latest Q3 communications faux pas, I am more often them not defending them as the true disruptors in EV's. I hate that more ammunition is given to their detractors that despite their vision and technology, they are simply not effective on the manufacturing and sales side.

Was in Same boat here. You can use the existing mvpa to generate a check with your cu assuming you aren't financing the whole thing. I waited and waited. SA assured I would get it. Then she finally called and said they aren't doing it for p3d- and promotion was over. I know that's bs cuz someone just took delivery yesterday and had it approved. Wish you luck though
