Lemon Law Buy Back

[LonelyCTfan]

I searched and saw no other actual posts about buy backs actually happening.

My Cybertruck is a lemon and after very much back and forth and being told that my complaints were material in that the defects were actually "features" they have agreed to purchase the truck back.

The general manager hasn't returned my calls or emails so I can't get any more details on the steps.

I've never had to do something like this and I am just curious if anyone else on the forum has had experience and can tell me what I'm getting myself in for.

I invested a lot into aftermarket accessories and did request a new truck but unfortunately they do not want to give me a truck they want to pay me off. I do have a substantial following therefore My social media activity did gain traction I don't know how far of the totem pole I got. Obviously it was far enough to make them not want me to be a customer. I'm not surprised because the general manager told me that my concerns were cosmetic even though I had two motor replacements and tires all within the first few months.

What are they going to offer me in regard to paying back Will they give me the MSRP or the actual price that I paid for the vehicle?

If you purchased one then you know obviously we paid a premium for the connectivity and other features, Am I eating that cost?

Do I have any chance of raising enough hell that they pay me for the $300 worth of pre-cut tent I was waiting to install for them to give it back to me from the shop that's sitting in my living room?

What about the $2,500 credit I have as well as a $700 credit for other equipment? And the unopened and uninstalled per liner that's sold out haha jk.

Seriously though I hope someone is an expert here and can help a sista out..Oh and what should I buy next, who's CEO doesn't consider me unalive because I'm a homo and who doesn't piss off everyone making them swerve at me and flip me off haha

Lemon laws depend upon your state, so that's going to vary alot.

https://www.doj.state.or.us/consumer-protection/motor-vehicles/lemon-law/

Oregon has some pretty good ones, but it needs to be in the shop for 30 days.

The rest of your questions seem difficult to answer, as they're kinda not great grammatically?

I can certainly understand your frustration with the CEO. But there are a hundred thousand other people who work at Tesla.

I’ve had a couple teslas that were lemons and now my cybertruck is as well. They will give you the run around and promise to pay you out but will ignore you for 8-12 months. Make sure you’ve filed the lemon law documents with your state and have everything in writing. They won’t necessarily fight you they will just basically ghost you for a long time then one day out of the blue they ask for the vehicle to be taken to a service center then a check shows up a few days later.

Thanks for the vague answer and dig at my grammar. I've got some health stuff going on that's progressive so I just do my best, while enjoying my time on this god awful planet. I appreciate the time you took though. You're blessed to have the ability to be so smart and well spoken. I thought I expressed I knew the lemon laws and they offered the buy back. So I was asking about that process from someone who actually had experienced it, not someone to share a link.

As I mentioned, the General Manager also was unkind not just Elon the CEO, those hundred thousand people are a prime example of why we shouldn't have companies with Evil Sedistic CEOs managing government contracts and so forth, because I guess we just look the other way as humans, because we "need" a job.

Have a good one.

Thank you for this actual answer and actual input from your experience. I apologize my grammar was not great and I'm glad you understood what I was asking. Again I was told how bad the grammar was so I apologize. They set a service appointment for Monday Morning? Maybe that means they want the truck now?

Thank you for this actual answer and ...

This answer is by an account with four posts.

There have been several others who have had their trucks bought back, or done lemon threats against Tesla to get their trucks replaced for being out of service.

...

Just take your time - this is a forum with no time limit - and write out your questions in short, concise questions.

Too many conditionals and confounding subphrases make questions very difficult to impossible to answer.

You have all the time you need to write and edit your questions.

Also... You posted https://www.cybertruckownersclub.co...eview-vs-f150-lightning-pro.21444/post-374226 before this thread, so yes, your questions are baffling.

There has only been one known case of a vehicle replacement, and due to irreparable drive-train issues. People are not returning their vehicles, contrary to the stories created by the FUD generators.

It sounds like your vehicle is not a lemon(irreparable in a reasonable amount of time), but instead you simply have personal complaints about it. If they are buying it back for no good reason other than incessant complaints, consider yourself lucky.

Tesla or any car manufacturer cannot be buying cars back every time a person has buyers remorse, or it needed a repair after purchase, or they do not like the public's reaction to the vehicle, or if it's prone to fingerprints, or it doesn't fit in a garage, or they hate the CEO's choice for president.

bro how a limon?

I will just say keep the comments to the truck and it's time in the shop.

All the other stuff just brings about personal commentary from others that really isn't relevant to your concerns or issues.

New motors. This isn't like an ICE. Motors are plug and play. I would always welcome a new motor.

I'd guess that in a buy back, that they will refund the money that you paid in exchange for the vehicle in an as-delivered condition. If you are lucky, they may allow any after-market accessories to stay installed, but I'd guess, as in a lease, that all after-market accessories will have to be removed. And, no, you won't get anything for them. If the truck was that much of a lemon, then why were they installed?

I'd suspect a money back instead of a purchase because, as mentioned, you seem dissatisfied with cosmetic features that exist on every vehicle.

You made it to the buy-back stage, that's not easy.

According to the OP, he has read the lemon law, to which the vehicle fulfilled the criteria, and Tesla has agreed that it’s a ‘lemon’ although they sure tried to dispute that. Take the blinders off.

Unless the OP is a liar, of course. But you’d have to prove otherwise.

I'm just going off what i read. "After very much back and forth and being told that my complaints were material in that the defects were actually "features" they have agreed to purchase the truck back. "

This doesn't sound like a lemon. Tesla is not going to BS people with safety issues or serious defects.

A lemon is quite obvious in that:
-There is a problem that significantly reduces the vehicle's use, value, or safety.
-There have been multiple failed repair attempts for the same issue and the vehicle is still broken.
-The vehicle is out of service for repair for 30 or more days.

Either way, this forum is obviously not going to provide much value for the OP in this case. Most replies are going to be questioning the validity of the claims, especially when the data provided is extremely vague and cheeky.

Here is the "proof" for those of you assuming I'm lieing.
I also did mention I've had 2 motors as well as new tires, new wiper blade motor, new drivers door and mirror and they have had my truck 48 days and 5 visits.

I appreciate the actual feedback not criticism of my grammar etc. this is why I stopped using the forum when I got the truck too many "experts" who don't even own the truck.

I have done lemon law once in Florida and it was easy... after I got a lawyer. I do not think you need to do that though.

That message you just copied is as clear as day what steps you need to take. They will likely deduct milage from the payback though. It looks like they will even cover taxes because they are offering to payback previous payments and the full loan (taxes should be in the financed amount.)

Just follow the steps, get paid and move on.

If you want an electric truck, I recommend the GMC Denali, or Rivian for comparable options.
