It’s not the promise I’d signed up for. When I dropped my $2k reservation, it was for a $35,000 car, including a $7500 government rebate, or net $27500 (plus tax lic etc). Instead of delivering my car in the order the reservation was placed, (in that scenario, I’d get the full $7500 rebate), my reservation was reprioritized for Tesla’s bottom line. Would I have done the same thing in Elon’s shoes, sure, but just because they’ve delivered a $35,000 version, doesn’t mean I’m happy.
- natch 8y agoThat’s fair, but then it’s not necessarily all about what you want. Part of it is helping invest in accelerating the world’s transition to sustainable energy. Personally I’m ok with that. ymmv. How was your reservation $2k though? It makes me wonder if you are really a reservation holder, given that you got the amount wrong. Fake outrage?
- jmpman 8y agoI put down two reservations, at $1k each. So, my outrage is quite real. I intended to buy two $35k versions, after rebate at $27,500, that’s a better deal than any Honda Accord. And, I didn’t request my refund back because I believed in the vision. However, now I’m even more pissed, so I’ve made the refund request.
