don't buy from Tesla - go buy a better car from any of the dozens of other makers that have over a hundred years of experience.
i'm pissed about the price drop. the other day some mom tried to open my car door because our cars were identical and that will probably happen more now.
Not really. The product you wanted to buy is no longer for sale. Now it is two different products. Dude, you are thinking about this the wrong way. It's usually a good thing when a mom gets into my car.
The issue is when Tesla gives better deals to some people and not others, along very weird and arbitrary lines. I would be OK with a true ' all sales final' approach. But it's hard to swallow that line when Jan/Feb 2019 buyers get free stuff.
Ya but they also discounted the same car $7500! Still out $7500 worth of taxes and registration fees for the rest of the life of the car and $3750 in tax credit. Those who bought early got screwed.
You didn’t get screwed. You got what you paid for in the contract. The people that are buying now, are getting what they pay for. Guess what, the prices will go down again. Does everyone get screwed?
Matt, I agree with your post wholeheartedly, but the problem for Tesla is going to be there simply are a lot more of "them" than "us." And "they" are people who will take as much as they can get for as little as possible, sue at the first inkling they feel wronged, and have no idea what Tesla is or why it exists other than to make products they buy. The general public is very unforgiving, and the very things that have made many of us wholeheartedly believe in this company as something different and special and important are going to be the things that will possibly lead to its demise. Like you I think it's unsustainable - either Tesla starts operating like a regular car company with far less care for its customers (which will probably disappoint many of us), or their existence, however long, is basically a suicide mission that forces legacy automakers to electrify.
It shouldn’t have gone down this soon. Tesla sucks! Never buying another one. They have lost me as a customer and my recommendations forever. I’m sure more ppl feel the same way as me. So it’s not just me.
I paid for a maxed out LR as soon as they were available to line waiters. I got my 7500 credit but I did not account for half my income being non taxable, so I only got roughly half of the 7500. I would like the 3k I left on the IRS's table but I love this car and would do it all over again. As I have said in many other threads, you know what you paid for, you agreed to pay the price and signed the contract. Stop having buyers remorse, shut up, enjoy your sweet car and suck it up.
Probably not just you, but if you think your protest makes a difference, history says otherwise. And if you think Tesla's price drop is a major offense, I can recall even worse outrage during the initial iPhone price drop. So many people threatening never to buy Apple again. And it totally ruined Apple as a company right as the iPhone was getting off the ground. /S Man, the satire here is so on-point. Just swap iPhone with Model 3.
