AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)03/14 Report--

With regard to Tesla's unprecedented price reduction, Chinese car owners who had just picked up the car shouted to protect their rights, with a price reduction of between RMB1.13-341100, and the devaluation of the car by 200,000 to 300,000 in less than 10 days, which made them very frustrated and angry. Tesla car owners asked the company to compensate for the price difference or give an explanation, and some car owners also said they were prepared to sue Tesla.

Among them, Mr. Liao, a lawyer from Changsha, is an old car owner of Tesla. After Tesla reduced the price, he said that he would send a letter from a lawyer to Tesla to decide whether to sue or not according to the attitude of the other party. It also said that Tesla's sudden price reduction violated the Price Law, the provisions prohibiting price fraud and the Consumer Rights Protection Law.

A few days ago, there was the latest development in the incident of protecting the rights of Tesla car owners. According to Mr. Liao, the owner of Tesla, the owner of Weibo @ lo Wei, he reflected that some Shanghai car lovers have successfully asked Tesla to refund the price difference. Tesla's sales treat different car owners differently in different regions, and there are more car owners on the road to safeguarding their rights.

Mr. Liao, the owner of the car, repeatedly confirmed that the price difference can be refunded after the price reduction. According to the chat record between Mr. Liao and the Shanghai Tesla owner, the Shanghai Tesla owner picked up his car in Pudong, Shanghai on Feb. 26, after paying a deposit of 92000 yuan on Feb. 19. also installed a fully autonomous driving system worth 46300 yuan, completed the formalities and issued an invoice on February 24, and the total price and tax price is 1.0533 million yuan.

After the announcement of the price reduction on March 1, it caused a sensation. The car owner directly went to the sales application for a refund that night and went through the process. Originally, the car owner did not hold out hope until Tesla changed the new contract on March 5. The car owner can buy the car at the latest price after the price reduction, and the rest of the extra money will be refunded.

As can be seen from the new contract provided by the car owner, it shows that the final transaction price of Modle X including tax cash is 860500 yuan, while 1.0533 million yuan has been paid before, which means that Tesla will refund the price difference of 192800 yuan. Why does the new contract show payment on March 11th? In fact, the car owner completed the payment before picking up the car on the 26th. It is said that through the enigmatic operation within Tesla, the car has not been completed. The payment on March 11 means that the purchase time of the car owner has been changed to a price reduction. You can enjoy the new price after the price reduction.

The owner's Model X mileage shows that the car has traveled 1111 kilometers since it was picked up on the 26th. The car owner also said that the refunded price difference of 192800 yuan would be paid within 25 working days, and another Shanghai rider also entered the refund process, and the excess money was returned the same way.

On March 1, when the price cut was suddenly announced, Tesla also issued a confidence guarantee plan that allows users to choose to return the car for a refund within a short period of time, but only for users who pick up the car after March 1. The Shanghai Tesla owner had already picked up his car for three days before the official price cut, and the refund was still the price difference, so it did not meet the terms of Tesla's confidence guarantee plan. Does Tesla silently refund the price difference for some car owners?

Mr. Liao picked up the car one day earlier than the above-mentioned Shanghai owner, and his Model X was picked up for four days and reduced by 174500 yuan. So far, he has not received any promise from Tesla to refund the price difference. Mr. Liao, who will fight to the end with Tesla, said that the incident of Shanghai car riders returning the price difference "hopes to help some car owners who were unequally treated in February to sue and negotiate."

When the price is reduced, the users who just mentioned the car are making trouble; when the price goes up, they don't take the initiative to make up the price difference-- this is not only what the majority of netizens said, but also what Tesla CEO Musk replied to netizens on Twitter. Tesla has announced that prices will be halved due to fewer than expected global store closures and a 3 per cent increase in prices for all models except the standard Model 3.

The reason for the incident in which Shanghai car owners can refund the price difference is not clear. Tesla has never said that users who pick up the car before March 1 can refund the price difference, so the refund of the price difference is not under Tesla's consideration. Did Tesla adopt a policy of differential treatment for individual users?

This evening, Tesla customer service responded that there is no compensation or refund policy for pick-up users.

Due to the price reduction of 200,000 to 300,000, there is a large psychological gap among users, which leads to a fierce reaction of users' opinions. It is now confirmed that prices began to rise on the 18th, and the decline was not as big as it used to be. will these Tesla users continue to protect their rights?
