$59k Base Dual-Motor AWD Cybertruck Begin Delivery!

[Reddy]

I don't suspect any malicious intent from Tesla for these but this is pure lack of a good marketing and legal team who can thoroughly review these promotions before they launch them. This could just be someone's oversight. They still operate like a start up in many ways. I really feel bad for customers who are impacted. This is 8K worth of a product they will now not get. Tesla should at least accept the mistake and reimburse.

I'm not surprised, there is some fine print in there that says they can change the terms of the FSD Transfer anytime.

That's absolutely true before an order is placed but ... after an order is placed based upon those clearly stated conditions?

I dunno but if I was an attorney (I'm not) I might think about fighting it. I can't see letting Tesla retroactively change their stated conditions after the non-refundable deposit order is placed no matter the amount.

I totally agree

Your $250 down is not placing an order. It's a reservation. Tesla has historically changed items for people after the reservation fee is placed and said that they have the customer ability to cancel or reject delivery.

Most notably:

Tesla removing mobile charger
Tesla removing passenger lumbar
and the biggest, Tesla removing Autopilot...people complained and threatened to sue in each case, but nothing seemed to change.

Tesla even removed to potential of Autopilot from Cybertruck owners even though they had the vehicle and it was stated on their original purchase (same with MS/X users and Steam back in 2022).

It's reasonable to say it wasn't malicious intent on Tesla's part but rather just them being incompetent. Who should pay the price for the incompetence ... the buyer?

Many at Tesla have said that they changed the verbiage because of the massive amount of SAWD orders. These are Service and Sales employees (so they could be playing a bad game of telephone), but they were very vocal about it when it occurred.

Apples and oranges.
The 2019 hundred bucks was a fully refundable Reservation Fee. This $250 was non-refundable purchase deposit. I know this because I made one in Feb 2026.

IANAL but if you did sue, the court’s aim is to make you whole, which in this case would probably just be a refund of your $250 because that’s the loss you have suffered.

similar to if you ordered something online that was advertised as available but they decided not to fulfill your order for whatever reason, they’d just cancel and refund your money. You couldn’t force them to fulfill the order.

Yep, the 2019 deposit was a reservation. I chose not to get a refund of the original $100. Got it applied to the new order.

Deleted the chat and the ChatBOT continues to give me a Jun 23 - Jun 30 delivery schedule.
Lets hope it works out.

Not sure if you already answered this but when did your pre-delivery tasks unlock and allow you to move forward? My delivery is 10 days away and I find it odd that the steps haven't unlocked yet.

Getting pretty bored…

Things like this just smell of stealership antics. I least they don't corner you in the financing managers back office to try to screw you over on delivery day.
