TESLA is Cancelling Cybertruck FS Orders - No Refunds - Sign the Petition

[Wonderful]

Sorry not a petition I will sign. It was clear what you were putting a down payment for. Stop trying to skip the line for a non-FS series when you were given the opportunity to buy a FS and passed on it to save $20k. Why did you put $1k down telling Tesla and the factory to make you one?

Sorry, but what is going on?!

The 1k is to actually order the Cybertruck and at this time Foundation Series.

What do you think is gonna be of the company if people order a more expensive series and then they change their mind for a lower cost option?

It is a major loss for the company to have an FS in stock that was already ordered but the costumers changed their mind. Your 1K will partially cover that loss.

The moment the demand for Foundation fades, standard Cybertrucks will start to be supplied.

Simple.

I understand both sides of this issue. When many of us reserved our Cybertruck years ago with a $100 refundable reservation, none of us knew about the Foundation Series (FS) being released first.

However, when I received the invite to pay the $1,000 deposit for the FS, it was very clear that I could decline if I didn’t want the FS. No one made me pay $1,000. When I did pay the $1,000 - I knew full-well it was to give Tesla confidence to finish and deliver a FS truck to where I live so I can pick it up for delivery. There wasn't even very much to read - not like it was a 30-page agreement or something.

If you don’t want the FS, the solution is simple: decline the offer and wait for the non-FS model.

Tesla made this process fairly transparent, and if you’re unsure, carefully read the terms before making any further commitments. It’s important that everyone understands what they are signing up for before giving their money away.

So I have the set of tires that came on my CT in my garage and they have 30 miles on them. Willing to let them go for $1,000.

If you send me $50 and I pass by 10 others because you gave me a deposit and your commitment to pick them up on Saturday and you don't show ... the $50 is mine.

Well then I suppose that you shouldn’t have any problem convincing a lawyer that he should go and demand your money back. Because even if this at best semantic quibble had any salience, that thousand dollar earnest money deposit ain’t coming back if Tesla doesn’t voluntarily choose to ignore their contractual protections.

Have a fantastic day!

You know you really should try reading, I stated I didn’t want a refund, if Tesla are charging an early access fee and not delivering before a point where anyone can go online and get one within a week or two they haven’t kept their part of the agreement. Some people are happy to roll over, accept whatever they’re told, some aren’t. Happy for you being an accepting individual probably helps you have a”fantastic day”.

In November 2023, Tesla starting taking $1,000 deposits for a Foundation Series Cybertruck.
There are plenty of people that put a $1,000 deposit thinking they would get a non-FS Cybertruck.

This was allowed because that's back when Tesla only invited the earliest reservations to configure the vehicles - they will be in the front of the line for the non-FS anyway even if they do not take FS so they allowed it.

Now Tesla opened up the FS configuration page - Everyone (even those that do not have a reservation before) can order the FS, but if they put down the $1K NON-REFUNDABLE deposit and cancels it, does that mean they can skip the line to the non-FS? Of course not.

You truly don't understand anything about law and arbitration. Just because you google it and get a definition, doesn't make you an expert. I have been part of many arbitrations, mediations, and court cases. Would you like to get out the measuring stick keyboard warrior?

If you were part of many court cases and mediations, you wouldn't be so confident/naive that you think it's an opportunity for you to cajole the other side into giving you what you want. I've no experience with arbitration, but I assume it's the same and you will walk away in the same or lesser situation than you are now.

 

[GatorCyber]

Incorrect it’s an early access fee. Thanks for the permission to go for it, that’s what Tesla refers to it as, maybe you should check your paperwork.

my agreement literally says non-refundable deposit.
nothing in my agreement says anything about early access fees.

 

[MeadowShade]

When we put down the $100, we just wanted a CT. It was vague for time, specs ... everything.
It was refundable.

When the $1,000 was put down, you told Tesla you wanted a FSCT. You updated your order. You knew how much it would be and was given their best estimate for delivery date. Deliveries started, and there were issues that delayed them ... that happens but they acted in the best interests of ALL parties.

You did NOT have to order the FS and your place in line (if there is a line) was preserved.

But that is NOT what you did.

Tesla has the high ground on this and anyone that can read a contract would agree.

I would not sign for this petition, I am responsible for my own decision. I once lost a $500 deposit for a used Model S that I changed my mind. I am a fair gamer player. It clearly sated, non-refundable.

 

[GuyV]

Still, we can always hope for good will and that Tesla would convert this to another Tesla vehicle there by earning another sale rather than alienate a customer even if the customer is wrong.

Yeah, they should do that the day before they have a $5000 price drop. ?

... if Tesla are charging an early access fee and not delivering before a point where anyone can go online and get one within a week or two they haven’t kept their part of the agreement. Some people are happy to roll over, accept whatever they’re told, some aren’t.

Which paragraph on your agreement talks about this 'early access fee' to get a cybertruck before one 'can go online and get one within a week or two'

'Some people are happy to roll over, accept whatever they're told' - No. Some people are honest and read and understand what they are signing before they submit a non-refundable deposit on a $100k purchase.

How does someone so dense that they cannot understand what a non-refundable deposit is and cry about losing $1k to save $20k even afford a $100k truck? This goes for the OP and the pain in the ass guy who claims to win in arbitration bc he's been in many lawsuits, mediations and arbitrations? You sound like a professional ahole.

 

[GatorCyber]

This is not true. Businesses are liable for employee action.

Liability isn't a binary, tho.

-Crissa

But businesses are not bound by verbal or written changes/promises by an employee that are in conflict with a written agreement.

 

[GuyV]

Looks like they can’t sell the Foundation edition and this is a way to nudge people to buy. I thought there was a million on the list. If you are a Tesla owner then you know how bad customer service is and what they put you through. This is the least they can do by switching to Non F.

It's simply time to be wrapping up FS and settle all outstanding orders so we can finally move on. Tesla had to address this eventually. It's already gone on about as long as rationally justifiable.

We really do NOT need to go there. He is right, because he is always right and has NEVER made a mistake or been wrong. Losing $1,000 is not fun. Losing your integrity is a LOT worse.

I have been grousing at Tesla for months about my $2,500 store credit. I have called and e-mailed and gotten zero reply. In the mean time, in prepping for a cross country camper towing trip, I bought 6 bed containers that are just perfect, frunk net, Molle panels, under rear seat storage, bed liner and probably a few things I am forgetting. Only the bed liner was not from the Tesla store.

I we cleaning out my e-mail on Monday, and found the $2,500 credit that was sent in June. ARGH! I do NOT need anything else from the store! I asked if they would flip it to charging and the answer was Nope. My bad. I will just get a set of tires and rims I guess and give them $500 more dollars.

But I am NOT starting a petition.
