Does the £24,400 in writing also mention that it's valid for 30 days? Are they allowed to do this?

They seem to be doing everything they can do prevent existing owners from staying with Tesla.
If it's lower than the balloon payment then you just hand it back at the end, you don't have to pay that negative equity however I'm sure it's more that you've lost £1.3k positive equity in a day. Assuming you are on your last month and all that's left is the balloon?

Yes I can just hand it back but I will then be car-less for 4-5 weeks and obviously lose out on the missing £1.3K as you say.
I’m not sure now something estimated yesterday can change something different today with zero explanation.
Why can’t they give me a firm offer before I waste my time ordering the car?
The PCP balloon payment balance is such a fine line it makes all the difference.
Its an amazing colour. I'm a big fan of red, but the last Tesla red was mediocre at best. This one is stunning.Just ordered an Ultra Red. Half my mates think I’m crazy and the other half like it.
I’ve had black and white in the past. This time I was torn between red, the new grey…. and the black.
Hope I made the right choice
I know you can’t do this now but may be in the future if you again go for a PCP - try and trade in 3-4 months ahead so that even if there is a £1300 difference you can pull the plug and hand it over and save 4 months repayment if around £2000. Also you can get a new car so don’t have to worry about replacement.

I've not seen the new red 'in real life' but it sounds stunning by all accounts.
I bought red partly because it was the least common colour, no surprise of course given the cost, but also because I really like it. The tone seems to change depending upon the light source, artificial light makes mine at least really 'pop'.

Just had a call from Tesla. Apparantly the team in Amsterdam were a little hasty in devaluing my vehicle and they are going to honour the original quoted price.

Indeed. October 28 trade in estimate £27,700. 6 weeks later it was £19,000. I guess now back at £24,400 is a slight bonus.

Why didn’t you go for the trade in? I know highland wasn’t available at that time but you were not fancying Tesla anyhow at that time!

Because at the time I thought £27k great, that gives me a £4K deposit in a couple of months. I thought maybe at the trade m-in time my £27k would be £26k. Naïvely I never thought 6 weeks later it would drop by £8k.

Go Team Red! Washed mine yesterday.
Did someone say " mediocre "
Then again, I'm glad we are in the minority; as SWMBO is wont to say " So many Teslas on the road". Not something I ever heard during all the BMW years
I do think that the new M3 red is a definite improvement for that car.
