Tesla double-charged some customers for new cars, leaving them desperate for refund details
Last week, after paying for brand-new Tesla electric cars, Southern California residents Tom Slattery, Christopher T. Lee and Clark Peterson told CNBC they were gobsmacked to find the company had charged them twice, taking tens of thousands of dollars from their bank accounts without authorization or warning, then giving them a frustrating runaround when they sought refunds.
...When he checked his account the next morning, on March 25, Tom Slattery, woke up to find his bank account depleted by nearly $53,000 more than he expected — the sum he agreed to pay for a long-range, all-wheel-drive, 2021 Tesla Model Y. It would be a second Tesla for his family.
Slattery says he immediately spotted the duplicate and jumped to call and text Tesla. He spent the day getting stonewalled, people either did not pick up the phone or did not have definitive answers about a refund.
Slattery eventually drove to the Tesla Burbank, California, store and service center to speak with sales and delivery staff in person.
He says, “They told me to call my bank and have my bank reverse the charge. That was not acceptable. When you debit more than $50,000 and tell a customer to solve it on their own? I kept pushing.”
Five days later, Slattery is still awaiting a refund or any commitment, in writing, that he will be refunded and by what date.
He says he will refuse to accept delivery of the new, 2021 Model Y, which didn’t show up during the previously estimated delivery window until the refund is complete.
The stress comes at a horrible time for his family — they’re searching for a new home in another state, and any trouble with funds could impact their ability to bid on a house or secure a mortgage in a timely manner and at desirable a price or rate.
Slattery is hardly alone. He said a Tesla employee at the Burbank store and service center said, in his presence, that hundreds of customers were experiencing the same issue with duplicate charges.
...Meanwhile, his bank told him it could take a minimum of 10 days and up to 45 days potentially to get a refund processed on their end. And it would be faster to handle things through Tesla.
