    I still don’t get why people buy Tesla products. You know what they’re like now. What are you doing?

        I don’t feel embarrassed but when I bought mine it was far and away the best value. Now there’s many more options and teslas are priced way higher than them. I’ve tried out a couple of them and my next car probably won’t be a Tesla due to price more than anything.

          I’m curious what you’ve looked at? In New England and as a snowboarder, AWD and high range are both requirements and I’m not seeing anything cheaper than the Model 3 unfortunately.

            I am in Canada and at the time I hadn’t skied before so that wasn’t a concern. But there was the leaf and the bolt really were the only 2 other available cars. And the base model 3 was only about 3-5k more than the others and it had a better range and the supercharger network so for me it made no sense to get anything besides the model 3

    after submitting a $122,135 order

    The buyer told us that he paid a $250 order fee on Friday and previously paid a $100 reservation fee.

    Tesla doesn’t have to refund those types of fees if a buyer cancels

    You have to pay $350 to get the privilege to fork over a hundred and twenty grand? My jaw literally dropped.

      You forget we live in a society where we have bought tickets and raffles for the chance of being able to buy Air Jordans or Yeezys or w/e fuck shoe that did that.

      Imagine getting a RWD and treating it like an AWD because you are a dumbass

    Are you able to return it if you dislike, or are you just fucked?

        If this is true, and people stupidly signed a contract stating as such, I have zero sympathy for them if they get sued. What a ridiculous stipulation.
