Lack of Ethical Behavior at Tesla

Lack of Ethical Behavior at Tesla

I am very disappointed in the changes to the ordering system that have no regards for the customer. In fact, I question the ethics of the bait and switch. I ordered a tesla, gave them a deposit, and then several months later they change the agreement. I'm trying to cancel. Web site not allowing this and a min. of 1 hour hold at the 877 number.
Won't buy a tesla, since this history shows me that their is serious problems in managing the company.

Growing pains while over 200,000 cars on the road in the hands of happy customers and more than 400,000 in line to get their hands on one.

Sorry you have to wait on hold and stand in line.

You ordered one?....sounds to me like you simply put down a few bucks to get on the reservation list....just like hundreds of thousands of us did.

Buh bye

Wait until you see the waiting list for the model Y.

Can you be more specific? What bait and switch are you talking about?
The ordering process is pretty straight forward, way better than going to the car dealership and waiting for an answer from the crooked sales manager!!

The prices being lowered has me pretty steamed.

"and a min. of 1 hour hold at the 877 number...."

Can't you see? Its their new tactic: keep you on hold until your car is ready.

This site is where everyon can let out their frustrations. Some people live in perfect worlds with absolutely no fun ustrations and this allows them an out when things don’t go as they expect in a perfect world.

If there are ethical problems with evidence, please contact Tesla’s legal department with the facts and they will follow up. Serious ethical violations are a liability for any public company and needs to be rooted out.

Time to learn what the terms 'complete thought', 'sentence', 'paragraph', and 'punctuation' all mean. Damn. This post was difficult to decipher. As if a bunch of raccoons were trying to translate Russian to English, but got in a fight with a pack of hyena in the midst of the process...

MTTPA | July 28, 2018

Seriously, what is wrong with Tesla? I configured on 6/27 with a delivery estimate of Sept to Nov, and a month later I have a VIN and delivery date in August? Why won’t they honor that later delivery date? Bait and switch! /s

Sigh. Can’t believe I bothered to read this thread.

OP most likely a troll.

Pkalhan | July 28, 2018

Why do people go on forums to make posts like this about canceling orders? If you are unhappy and want to cancel, then cancel. I don’t need to know you canceled.

Phuang12 | July 28, 2018

Yeah, what was the agreement change?

rtravis4 | July 28, 2018

Clearly Tesla does not tell the truth. They told me in June my car would be ready September-November and they had the gall to deliver it two weeks ago. Plus they mislead me when they said it would be a great car. Actually, it’s the best thing I’ve ever bought. I’ve come this close to giving them a piece of my mind, but I’ve been too busy driving.
