It might be shady and of course some people will despise it but if the net effect is sales increased, then they should do it.
After, my impression of Tesla is that it's incredibly shady and manipulative, and I have a great deal of anger at it because this page is disgustingly deceptive.
You've got to get a reasonable estimate of how much less likely I'm going to purchase a Tesla in the future, but before there was a nonzero chance I would, while in this moment I feel like I'll never purchase one. That's negative value, there.
The way they are selling these I would hope someone would be looking and clicking on that details button and really looking to make sure it is for them.
Does anyone have a good real world average for current wait times for delivery and service? Also wondering what these are for the flyover states (midwest) where I am at vs the coasts.
Where they show a video about full autonomous driving, talk a lot about full autonomous driving and then at the very bottom of the page write in very small print that "some jurisdictions" may not allow that at this time? Where "some" means probably "every one except lawless states like Somalia or so".
It's deceptive enough--and 90% of people who saw that page would say that the costs of the cars are what's listed on the right column, which makes it deceptive--that it leaves a wildly unpleasant taste in my mouth. And, in my case, it's not even close to accurate: I don't own a car right now, and any purchase would be because I actively like a particular car. The "savings on gas" is a total lie, because I'll be spending nothing on gas anyway.
It’s not an imagined cost of ownership for me, an actual owner, who just got $7,500 back and pay $7 for 300mi.
