AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)10/17 Report--

Tesla's confidence guarantee scheme has been officially cancelled and users cannot return their cars within seven days.

Tesla's confidence guarantee plan was terminated and offline on October 16, 2020, and all car purchase orders after that no longer enjoy the protection of the plan, according to the official website.

Previously, Tesla's confidence guarantee plan was applicable to new buyers. If users are not satisfied with Tesla's new car, they can return the car to Tesla within seven calendar days after the vehicle is delivered. However, there are restrictions.

Restrictions include: when the vehicle is returned, the odometer reading does not exceed 1600 km; the New car Limited quality Assurance has not yet expired; and no applicable incentives, incentives, concessions or special treatment have been submitted or applied for; the vehicle is in a brand new condition, undamaged and free of abnormal wear and tear; it has not been resold or transferred to any person or entity.

If the above conditions are met, Tesla will accept the user's request for the return of the vehicle and complete the vehicle inspection process. The relevant refund (after deducting the non-refundable 1000 yuan after placing the order) will be returned the same way (about 30 days) and cannot be transferred to any other order. The user shall bear all expenses, insurance, taxes or liabilities incurred during the possession of the vehicle.

For the sudden end of the confidence guarantee plan, Tesla officials did not make any explanation, but for users, they will lose a protection, especially the risk of the difference brought about by the price reduction.

The price of the standard battery life upgrade version of the Chinese-made Model 3 has been adjusted to 249900 yuan after subsidies, and the price of the long-range rear wheel drive version of the Model 3 made in China has been reduced by 21650 yuan and 34150 yuan respectively, according to Tesla's official website on October 1.

For users who have just picked up the car, a sudden official price reduction is undoubtedly a loss of their rights and interests. The compensation scheme given by Tesla is in line with the 7-day confidence guarantee plan for car owners to give 3 years of free overcharge rights and interests. Of course, these car owners can also choose to "return" their vehicles to Tesla.

After the incident, Tesla removed the confidence guarantee plan. I don't know whether it has anything to do with a series of effects caused by price cuts.

Tesla sold 11329 vehicles in China in September, down slightly from 11800 in August, ranking third among new energy passenger car companies, according to the latest data released by the Federation.

Industry insiders pointed out that Tesla's modulus is increasing rapidly, and the increase in modulus will inevitably lead to a reduction in the cost of bicycles, which will inevitably lead to an adjustment in pricing. Tesla may continue to reduce prices in the future.

However, the confidence protection scheme is off the shelves, if you encounter Tesla's sudden price reduction operation again, and new buyers want to ask for compensation for the price difference, it will be more difficult.

The specific terms of the Tesla confidence guarantee Plan are attached (the implementation has been terminated)
