Snippiness 2.0

[buckets0fun]

How about you share the whole document, or at least the whole header? Because that looks just like the one I have that is just for the HV inspection, and doesn't cover anything to do with Supercharging. (ie. your photo doesn't show anything about the new Supercharging policy.)

I know mine is a little old, what is the date on yours?

ugh... again.... here. I'll make it easier to read for you.

it. is. the. same. thing.

But don't take my word for it, open your Tesla app. Go to service, req either process and ask if there is a difference. The agent will likely ask a manager and follow up with you. They will then confirm what I've posted.

So you are saying your document is dated from 2018 and doesn't mention anything about Supercharging, just like mine? I haven't seen anything official from Tesla about a new policy. In fact their current legal policy on the web site still says that Supercharging is permanently disabled: Additional Resources | Tesla

I don't currently own a salvage Tesla, so they probably wouldn't give me any information...

But again, you are taking one Service Center response as gospel, when we know it isn't. Just take a look in the camera upgrade thread, where multiple Service Centers install the incorrect cameras having to do it again later, or the HW3 upgrade for free thread. People report getting different, conflicting, information from different, or even the same, Service Center. (And often have to be directed to their own website to correct misinformation they give out.)

In my case, at this time, I am inclined to put more weight behind what Electrek has reported, rather than what you are getting from one Service Center, when you haven't shared any official document with details. But really, we need to wait until Tesla announces/published their new policy.

I can understand OPs viewpoint. When I picked up my X recently, the delivery specialist asked to see my phone. He synced my app with the new vehicle and paired my phone with the car. He clicked a few buttons and the phone was used to unlock the car. I thought of it more as a service. He told me that this was the time to accept the car and I nodded my head. He did some more clicking around and handed my phone back to me. All worked perfectly and I was happy to get someone familiar with syncing my phone and making sure everything was done properly.

He then showed me how to use the key card to unlock the doors and where to place it if I did not have my phone. This was something new to me and I appreciated his instructions. Keycard is easy to hide on the car and would be handy if the phone was out of data range, forgotten or battery dead.

He was very professional. Even mentioned that there was already a memory stick in the glove box formatted for the car and used for recording events.
I never thought of this as an invasion of my space, but was greateful to have someone familiar with the system to get everything going.

He sat me in the car and had me adjust the seating and mirror positions and showed me how to accept that into the cars memory. Also put some favorite sound system into system and adjust the hidden air vents to my preference.

I would have felt insecure to make all these initial settings and sync my phone to the car at first introduction. Having him run through all these initial and necessary steps was a great service for me. Never felt pressured or intrusive

The car was in great shape, charged to 80%, tire pressures accurate etc.

Hope the OP can get through this initial feeling and enjoy her new car. They are quite wonderful cars and can be life altering.

This is likely what happened.

The Tesla rep probably took OP's phone consensually to show him how to use the app and also accepted delivery for him in the process without OP knowing. But of course the Tesla shills would rather put the blame on OP instead of the company.

The Tesla policy is to not let you into the car until you accept delivery. All you can do is inspect the outside and look through the windows. Now I realize there are a number of delivery centers and/or sales associates that do allow you to go in the car before clicking accept. At my delivery 2 weeks ago they unlocked it and let me inspect the interior before accepting. But still the majority don't allow this.

So the only unsettling thing here is that the delivery person allegedly clicked accept for the buyer. If true, that is a bit shady. Also their claim that one can return after 100 miles is BS. Sure you can have things fixed within a 100 miles that don't have to be actual warranty issues but you can't return the car (at least that I'm aware of).

That all said, this whole story seems hard to believe. Mostly that without any problems seen with the car (now that it is just sitting in the driveway) that one would be so upset that they would list the car for sale after waiting who knows how many months for the car. (unless an MYP I'd assume 6-8 months).

Or that they would simply give away a $65-$70K car to charity over a poor delivery experience.

Or that they would simply give away a $65-$70K car to charity over a poor delivery experience.

or that the Tesla is an upgrade from "A 2005 Honda Element. It has only 79,000 miles on it"

...and by that I mean my now one year old Tesla came on the heels of a 2007 Honda Civic with quite a lot of miles on it, so to step back to that once I had the Y in my driveway would not have been an easy task


I'm sorry but this story just doesn't make sense to me. It was a bad delivery experience (so was mine) but because of that she wants to just give the car away to charity unless she can sell it for what she paid for it. What if it can be sold for $100 less than the purchase price? Does it still get given away?

I don't necessarily doubt it, but it seems like these are some strange choices to make

K.

The posts above the one that you quoted (which was likely flagged due to someone’s hurt feelings), had the timeline posted for you. (Appt created in sept 2022, for nov2022, policy changed nov 1, vehicle in service while policy changed, pdf signed before policy change. Text from service informing of policy change)

I couldn’t care less what you feel, however the misinformation you continue to post is sad.

Enjoy your life duder. You don’t even have a horse in this race, and by your own admission no current information.

So this was the delivery driver then?

Accurate depiction tbh

 

[InDaClub]

You're right, you probably know more about the situation than OP does. My bad

Should have bought a KeeeeeeeeeeeYaaaaaaaaaaaaa with the ventilated seats.

 

[voip-ninja]

She even has the Wall Connector installed in her garage looking at her photos from her FOR SALE thread.
This reaction to the delivery is crazy.

Like I said in post 3 or 4 of this thread.... make better decisions.

Maybe I should... I'm sure that KeeeYaa would have less rattles than a Tesla lol

Put those ventilated seats to good use Mr. KeeeeeeYaaaaaaa

Nice personal attack from someone who doesn't even understand that wheel selection is FAR more than bolt pattern, width and offset.

Wheels are tested/rated for their use based on many safety factors, none more important than gross vehicle weight. The difference in the force involved with a 3,200lb car and a 5,000lb car are dramatic and MUST be accounted for. That or you can just plan on a catastrophic failure at some point.

To completely disregard that the wheel you mention was tested and rated for a car weighing around 50% less (as you turn this into some sort of pointless internet commando battle) would be hilarious if your ignorance wasn't endangering all of those around you. The very weight you saved is what makes the wheel strong enough to safely hold up to the physics associated with a sedan that weighs over 5,000lbs.

But hey, why listen to the voice of reason when it presents itself from someone who seemingly knows way more about wheel application and theory when you can just YOLO it up and end up like this guy:

But nah bro, you got this. That wheel has a BMW logo on it so I'm sure it will cure world hunger too so something like physics is child's play!

Good luck!

Disclaimer: based on your attitude I really couldn't care much less what happens with you and your car but I want to at least inject a little bit of information so others who read this as a good idea at least know to do their own research before trusting some stranger on an internet forum who doesn't even know wheels are rated for safety.

Hey dumbass,

I have an F80 M3 CS as my trackday car, I'm well aware of how much they weigh. They don't weigh "50%" of a model s. If you are going to run your mouth, at least Google search first.

"Internet commando battles" (funny and the only useful thing from you all day) start when you take a heavy handed approach, accuse someone's fairly detailed contribution as penny oinching and ask them to remove brake rotors. Even better when your first retort is idiotic and riddled with mistakes. Keep going.

I thought I had 100 miles….I guess I am a sucker. I will try to sell or donate to charity and move on. Thank you.

 

[DOOLMTR]

I hope you slept on it and are out enjoying your beautiful new car. Life is too short to bring this type of drama onto yourself. My late stepfather managed to find drama everywhere he went so don’t be like that.

It's best to just take everything Elon says with a pound of salt. It's all highly overly optimistic wrt timelines or a straight lie.

I can't imagine being a shmuck who paid $15k for FSD

Nothing worse than that FOMO feeling.

 

[YNoVA]

Ah yes I'm definitely feeling FOMO from not being down $15k. Instead I have to pay $200 for every month that I want to use FSD.

BTW you would need to subscribe for 6.25 years straight to equal $15k. I only keep my cars for 2-3 years and FSD doesn't stay with the owner so it'd be a huge waste of money for me.
