When and how to get the $5000 refund?

[adhoc]

I wonder what their reasoning is for this? If they have no problem charging tax when you pay for EAP after taking the car home, how can they not refund the tax paid on the $5k of goods?

EXACTLY!

the FSD was dubbed refund & sales tax was refunded!
CEO here said “refund” meaning pricing change,
early buyers overpaid, hence wording of refund?

I wonder what the state would say to merchant
issuing a refund but withholding the sales tax?

 

[adhoc]

Because it is different. For FSD the person was overcharged, so they paid too much for both FSD and in tax. In this case they paid exactly correctly and now Elon is gifting them a $5k rebate.

CEO said “We will just offer those who ordered bought 3P either $5k back or free lifetime Supercharging.”
seems to me exactly the same, giving $5k back, later he rephrased to say refund?

I'm sure that the state isn't going to complain about being over paid taxes.

I'm sure that the state isn't going to complain about being over paid taxes.

states are mostly impersonal regarding accounting,
provided merchants are uniform and fair, not benefiting
from charging and withholding sales tax on a refund.

to be clear, CEO & acceptance letter did say refund.

Is anyone getting $5000 refund for delivered model 3 performance?

Yes. Check on the way. Giving up lifetime free supercharging. With $5000 and use of $20/week (which I never have) I can charge for 4.8 years!

I can't believe it actually showed up, this takes a little sting out of the whole ordeal

Yes I was so wrong about seeing P3D+ ludicrous and cf spoiler before seeing my check.

Got my check today via USPS--I had requested the refund on the 1st day Elon tweeted. FWIW my unlimited supercharging got turned off a couple of days ago, probably the day the check went out.

Thx FYI!

I received my check today. I only requested it officially on 12/6 and they told me it would take 8 weeks. I have no idea if they ever turned off my unlimited supercharging because it actually never showed that I had unlimited supercharging in the first place. But I never got charged for any of my visits and they had told me I had it.

Awesome! I am down in Charlotte . Did it come from California?

For those that "previously qualified" (i.e. pre-tweet) for 6 months or a year of supercharging and have gotten the $5k check... Does your account now say "Pay Per Use" (like the website used to say for everybody regardless of actual status) or does it say 6 months, a year, etc. free?

Got mine today, it took about 2 weeks before I got mine.
