The strange story of several Tesla buyers who paid for their cars with a direct bank transfer only to later find out that they had been charged twice is apparently over. “Everyday Chris” posted on the Tesla forum that he finally got in touch with someone in Tesla, and received a refund of the $ 56,579 levy about five business days after the problem started.
CNBC was in contact with several other new Tesla owners who had similar issues, and reports that they also received refunds. Tesla did not publicly comment on the issue, but sent an email to the victims apologizing for the issue and giving them a $ 200 coupon to use in the online store for goods or accessories. This is not a large amount in exchange for a loan of $ 50,000 – $ 70,000 over the course of a week, plus the associated problems that buyers have been told about. CNBC including not being able to buy a new home, or withdrawing money from a brokerage account to cover expenses.
It’s still unclear exactly what went wrong with the charges, but as Chris noted in the recent video on the issue, it’s better for people who pay in advance for their new Tesla, a cashier’s check (instead of ACH transfer or Bitcoin) will use. to prevent the chance of this happening.
