[UK] Model S/X LHD Discussion

[DoricJim]

So what happened to the thread about the Model S return we were all waiting for with bated breath @GeorgeSymonds ? Was it deleted for some reason?

Pity if so as would have been good to get some real world uk feedback on it…

I deleted it as the comments were getting stupid and I was deleting them only to find another sarcastic or similar comment 10 mins later.

I messaged the OP telling them what I’d done and to post their reasons in a fresh thread as people were interested but becoming impatient, unreasonably so really given it wasn’t 24 hours and some people don’t spend all day on here. I didn’t want the OP to log on tonight to be greeted with pictures of Michael Jackson eating popcorn or “why are we waiting” etc.

In fairness it was also a bit of an odd way to start a thread

Anyway, OP has messaged back and said they won’t be back

What a shame

Ehhhhh it was a very strange way to start a thread.

Why wouldn’t we want to know what that person’s opinion was? This is a forum after all, their opinion is just as valid as anyone else’s. I was genuinely intrigued since LHD is the major obstacle to someone pulling the trigger, so for someone to have got over that and then decided to sell up suggests something else significant.

That said - how many replies saying “yes please” would it have needed to reach the threshold where we would’ve been blessed with the full story?

I’ll admit I made one of the sarcastic comments simply because I didn’t understand the need to preface the opinion with a prologue, or whatever it was. It seemed a bit performative.

Oh well!

In isolation some were close the edge but not really over it. But as the OP had set out their stall saying they’d post but didn’t want a backlash or similar it seemed they were getting a bit of a hard time before they’d even posted the detail. All a bit odd really in hindsight. The joys of moderation.

Ask @yessuz

 

[Zilla91]

I suspect he'll be having an even harder time trying to get Tesla to take back his car...

 

[yessuz]

i mean this was like a need of attention.

all he had to do is just to post it and that's it.

very strange start of thread

 

[yessuz]

distance selling. he got at least 14 days I presume?

 

[Zilla91]

If only he stuck around to tell us...

 

[yessuz]

well, if you are too cocky to post, oh well then

Thanks for clarifying.

Very odd way to start a thread indeed… as said above by @Zilla91 if they can’t handle a bit of fun on an online forum then good luck dealing with Tesla in the real world. Distance selling or not.

Not much sense of humour about hey

I imagine dropping a £100k on a car and feeling like you need to reject it or whatever method they’re using is going to leave a bitter taste in your mouth without us lot on an internet forum. It takes all sorts.

I can also believe we’d probably not learn much, the usual contenders being Tesla experience picking up a car and the after care, the build quality wasn’t what they expected and I’ve seen a bjorntesla video mentioned elsewhere which wasn’t complimentary, or LHD/yoke/indicators which would be an own goal and failure to test drive (more so than any other Tesla given LHD).

Anyway.. let’s move on.

Advoiding a test drive and buying a car over the interest does increase the legel protection the buyer gets.

Cash money? are you a spokesman for the OP? .... Supose we will never know now will we

Was the OP even genuine?
I think not. Then again, perhaps they just wanted to prove that you can't legislate for people's reactions - even if you ask politely. They got their answer.

I love being accused of things. Happy Christmas to you too.

Benefit of the doubt... thought I was being generous but it appears all doubt was removed
