Very frustrated about a pricing decision for Switzerland by Jerome, may I ask for your thoughts?
I'm an owner of two fully loaded P85+ (Sig. and Prod.) and an X Sig. reservation holder, one of the first orderer of the S in Europe. In October I have ordered two P85D maxed out, one with soonest delivery (March), one scheduled for May. Due to currency fluctuations Tesla has dropped the price in Switzerland by about USD 8000, I thought same situation as one year ago, when they adjusted the price of the open orders (since its currency based price drop, so Tesla exchange the money to USD when final payment is received, yes and some remains in local currencies but the price drop is only a fraction of the currency drop, 5.x % vs 10.x %). But now Jerome decided to stick to the contracts.
I wrote him and tried to explain that it doesn't make any sense, but got a standard reply not answering any arguments. I freaked out most when he used words like 'because of consistency and fairness', since it's the opposite.
Here my arguments, may I ask for your thoughts, am I wrong?
i) One year ago, same situation, but price was adjusted on open orders (consistency?)
ii) up to now, no quote for my current P85+, obviously now also price of used cars dropped, so I only get the bad side of this price drop (fair?)
iii) my first car is produced and in transit to Europe, cancel and reorder add 3 month waiting time (have waited 4 1/2 years for my Sig. will survive it). Tesla will have to find a new buyer, and the new buyer is obviously only going to pay the lower price, so why not to keep a long time supporter happy and give it to him for the same price, Tesla only gains the reservation fee to make me unhappy?
iv) my second car has no VIN yet, if I reorder I will have same delivery time, but I have to cancel, reorder, repay fee to get the same as I have ?
Does this behavior for pricing make any sense to anybody?
I don't care about the price of the car, I think it's the best car on the market you can get and I would have paid more without hesitating. But I'm getting very annoyed if someone try to treat you unfair against any logic. Your thoughts?
