There aren't.

If a server at a restaurant says "hey, we're out of the strip cut, would you like a filet mignon instead at the same price?" I have no reason to think it's a mistake to be charged the price of a strip steak. That restaurant doesn't get to put another charge on my credit card literally years later because a manager decided that in retrospect I should be charged the difference.

In this case, the restaurant offered, which is not a mistake, and IANAL, but arguably "hey, we're out of the strip cut, would you like a filet mignon instead at the same price?" sounds close to a verbal contract.
- crooked-v 4y agoTesla installing a larger battery and configuring the car for it is the same kind of 'mistake' as a restaurant server offering and billing something that the restaurant manager disagrees with. "Whoops, our front-line employee wasn't supposed to do that" doesn't mean they then get to take something away literally years later.
