I presently have a 2020 Model X with full self driving. I decided to buy the plaid and started the process. I came to the purchase and it had no where to enter my trade in. I then called Tesla's support number (888) 518-3752, which by itself was not easy to find. While going through the menus, the system told me that I can answer a survey by just staying online. When I finally got a person; I explained my issue and they told me about a special page for trade-ins (Tesla.com/tradein). I then waited for the survey to come, but the phone hung up on me.
I followed the Trade-in directions and got a range. I would like to know what the actual amount would be because I do not want to pay $250, non refundable, and then find out my final price. So I called again. The menu again said to wait on the phone for the survey. When I got a person I asked to have a sales representative call me. Her first reply was that they have no sales people??? Then I asked for the Fort Lauderdale manager to call me then. Eventually she discovered sale respresentives or something like that (my memory is not the best). I ask to have one call me. She said she would have one call me but hung up before I gave my number. Also the survey did not come up AGAIN. They may have my number based on the call itself.
I suspect they staff decides who gets to answer the survey or not; you will not get good results that way???
My concern is both as a buyer and a TSLA investor; I am worried about my investment if they could not properly assist me.
I have purchased in the past a Model S (in 2013), a Model S (in 2015), a Model X (in 2020), Another Model X (20202 northern home) and a Model S (in 2022 <<<for my son).
I think they need to make changes; at minimum fix their survey.
Should I still buy this car or keep my Model X a little longer and see what happens.
