Many people order new cars from other companies because they're not available on the lot.
You could still refuse delivery. If I were buying a Tesla I'd do a very thorough inspection of it before accepting it.
- blinkingled 5y agoBut prior to the shortages I would not need to wait to find a different car if I inspected one and found it had issues. I could just go to another Dealer lot and get one. I think there are still limitations to online ordering cars and the issues become worse when you can't do decent QA _and_ fulfill orders in decent time frame. (For instance if I ordered a Model 3 now - my estimated delivery time frame is March. If I refuse that one for having issues, I am looking at June to get a new car.)
