Wait? They’re sending ones out without the rivet now?!!!! RAAAAGGGGGGGEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

*Full disclosure I kinda like the rivet it’s a bit of a badge of honor.
My newly produced ‘25 CT (February build) was delivered last month WITH a pedal rivet. It’s now a feature.

I'll up you one.
We traded in our Model Y under the "FSD transfer" plan. Was told our new car could be picked up. I asked via the Tesla app "Has FSD been transfered?" "It's good to go" was their reply. So, we sold the old Model Y to a local dealer. (they were still in demand) Picked up our new Model Y. Tried out FSD on the way home. Success!

NOPE> That was the "Try FSD for 90 days with a new car". FSD was not transferred. Still quite pissed about that.

Didn't help that we were in the middle of a move when we figured out that the transfer didn't happen (It's my wife's car and she doesn't normally use it except on longer trips).

Still, doesn't exactly endear this early adopter fan to Tesla.

Come on, Man!
That sucks.... you had it in writing tho - u weren't able to fight that one??

You paid a price that you found acceptable and got the product that at was then available. I once paid $136k for a new P85D. I sold it three years later for a MX that cost $132k. Both were traded in for less than $30k each. Today’s version of the $136k car, with WAY more features, and Plaid upgrades, so way faster, everything on the car updated and better, now sells for under $94k new.

Tesla wasn’t supposed to improve the vehicles? Reduce prices as volumes increased? It was all described in Elon’s big plan for initially introducing halo models, with huge margins, and redeploying the profits into affordable models. We all knew we were being played for bucks but had an unbelievable life experience in the process. We got what we paid for and I have no regrets. Time to grow up folks.
LOL. You obviously missed the point. The humor was pretty obvious. Me replying to a post about having the rivet with me lamenting that Tesla is STILL using a rivet. I mean, it was pretty clear.

We reengaged twice... AND at both the SC that sold our car AND the one we picked my CT up from (we moved). Finally, they sent us a "We will not respond further on this point."

Are they still offering factory delivery? What if you just put factory zip code in as pick up location?
