Attempted to buy a CT Demo

[DangBro]

Arranged to buy a CT demo with a little over 1.9K for a $3800 discount, boy was that a mistake. This truck was driven/abused offroad and had mud up inside everywhere, the pictures are from the delivery area after they cleaned it. Passed Tesla's supposed inspection process and the detailing team just must of said to hell with it. I will never buy a demo ever again, I don't care how many of you have positive stories, this truck was jacked up and Tesla was pleased as punch to assign it me. They even said "well it is a demo", how can anybody think this was OK? Nothing would even be able to be warrantied, they would blame everything on off road damage and mud.

Edit: Yes, I declined delivery, I did not make this clear the first time.

I get what you mean but none of that is damage… its just mud… yes they should have cleaned it, and thats wrong that they didnt.
edit: i see the missing front left aero fairing is missing. Definitely not right. Likely ripped off on their off road adventure.

I get what you mean but none of that is damage… its just mud… yes they should have cleaned it, and thats wrong that they didnt. But nothing you've shown is damaged.

I know what mud does to wheel cylinders, brakes and anything mechanical, I have been an avid offroader in Toyotas for 20+ years. That truck needs to be disassembled to be cleaned properly, the mud and rocks are lodged everywhere, all th way up to the air filter. The front bumper is damaged and the small fairing is ripped off. All the wheel covers are toast too.

Holy sheet! Please explain why you signed for and accepted the truck.

Me? Instant vehicle rejection.

Yikes.. Did you accept delivery of this truck? I would have refused it for sure. Did it happen to have any Whistlin Diesel stickers on it before? Not worth it to save $3800, you'd be better off buying one second hand on the open market. I agree with OP that is going to be in every crack and crevice and may cause problems down the line.

I said attempted, I would never accept a truck anywhere close to this condition. I rejected and told everyone I could they were assholes for trying to deliver a truck in this condition and rejected it.

I get ya. Did you decline delivery?

 

[DangBro]

I would have to say Eshop!

In other words FAKE NEWS!

There is no way Tesla would let that one be delivered, and don’t know anyone who would accept that in condition it is in?!

Hate all you want, it was in fact a real occurrence at 4:00 PM today. That is the delivery area at Austin Ponds Springs.

Ok. Ok, apologies was in shock over your pics, glad you didn’t accept. Take care.

Oh hell yes.....I think they might of come away with the impression I was significantly displeased.

No worries, I was shocked as well. Cheers!

 

[SlegMD]

What a bunch of clowns. Sorry they wasted your time.

 

[hemiarch]

Ridiculous. So… in what world can someone return a truck in that shape from a demo drive and nobody say anything to the demo driver?

if you didn't buy/pay anything why do we need to hear & see it?
