> So Tesla did not accept the payment, and tried to contact the customer to sort it out. Incorrect. Vehicles are never handed over to customers until they're paid for. (A vehicle that is financed is paid for upfront by the bank, and the customer pays back the bank over the loan term.) The price of vehicles (especially Teslas) is such that it would be negligence, malpractice, insanity for the manufacturer or dealership to hand a vehicle over without full payment. It's always sorted out beforehand.
