Tesla Blacklist

[dmurphy]

Here I thought all the other states had cracked down on that nonsense loophole so that people could avoid paying their registration and/or property taxes. Hm.

No sales tax on EVs here in NJ anyway, and registration is about $85 annually; I guess that’s one way of cracking down, huh? Make it painless to just do things the right way.

Nice incentive to go EV

Some have called it a tax break for the rich.

I think there is some truth to that. But most of the tax breaks phase out as income increases, at least at the Federal level.

Now they do.

If people are thinking this is some form of avoiding taxes, you might want to point out to your state that Uhaul does not register a single vehicle in whatever state you are in, yet they are doing business in all 50 states. Every single one of their vehicles is registered in Arizona.

Having a vehicle registered to a business is not avoiding anything. It is a legal strategy. As far as the registration, after a certain age vehicles registered in Montana get a permanent plate. Then you don’t have any further ongoing registration cost. Still completely legal. Just because states like California don’t like it that other states have options like this, that’s on California not on Montana or any other state. It doesn’t change the fact that U-Haul vehicles are not registered in California, yet operate there every single day. And California is upset about this why? Because they see it that they are losing out on the registration fees.

I have! Usually I only keep the cars for a few months

pretty sure that's around the same time cars sit on dealer lots so u look like a dealer to them...

What upsets me more is that the Sales Managers, Sales Center, and Sales rep knew exactly what I was doing, but didnt warn me or anything. They kept letting me buy the cars. I wish they would have warned me because I honestly would have done any of this.

Aren't they get some sort of commissions? that would explain why they only care about selling...

U-Haul uses a vehicle registration system called the International Registration Plan or IRP. The program allows for companies across Canada and the United States to register their vehicle fleets in one location while still paying the appropriate fees to the places their vehicles are used.

Source: a handful of internet sites.

I don’t think that makes it legal for individuals.

Where do you insure the vehicle? State of registration or state where principally garaged?

How do you all know you’re blacklisted? Did you attempt to order another car?

 

[Sanderpman12]

Why not? I have bought cars through an LLC when I ran my own business, it was never my name on the title, only the company name,

America started on corrupt Europeans who came and started making money in ways which’s are now very illegal and inhumane….. I think this is fine to do…. Maybe you should stop being so entitled

 

[Sanderpman12]

Apparently Tesla is blacklisting families now. I was banned from buying Teslas because of my Turo business and now Tesla has banned my brother and father too. They have never sold a Tesla in their life. It said "BLACK LIST -- RESELLER" on their profile.

Venmo me money, I’ll buy for you

 

[Sanderpman12]

My above comment was for you

 

[Sanderpman12]

I think you knew what the "fine print" said and figured you'd do it anyway. I've lived a good long life watching people working the edges of what's wrong and then complaining when they get shut down, and you definitely fit the profile. And the same slime is on the dealers who figured you could buy more Teslas from them, whether right or wrong. Looks like you'll have to find another way to make money. I'd suggest education that would let you find a job in some good field, but it probably won't pay enough to interest you.

The above first message was for you

 

[Rishabh0428]

Has anyone had any luck appealing this?

 

[StealthP3D]

So I run a Turo business where I rent out Teslas. I buy many Teslas, and most of my renters end up buying my cars.

I got an email from Tesla today saying "Loss prevention team has informed me that we will have to black list you from further purchases. As it turns out, reselling vehicles is against the order agreement. Please note that this decision is final and we will be cancelling all pending orders."

Has anyone else ever experienced or heard of this?

I think the portion I bolded from the post you used to start this thread should be taken seriously.

Poor family. Did they get a call too? When you say their profile you mean their online app instead of a name it says black list? Imagine having to look at that every day

 

[Rishabh0428]

Yes on the online app instead of the name. No one. Called them.
