Fair enough. It sounds like the strategic decision was to inform customers, but they failed to do it consistently. Something is clearly wrong with how Tesla’s reps are managed and trained.

A properly run company like GM or Ford? Tesla is a unique company and offers a unique products. It is totally reasonable if you don't want to buy one, but for many of us, it is the best deal and the best car we have ever owned.

That move is a proof of poor and low practices. I don't like Tesla but I am surprised since I was putting them at "Apple" league, but it seems like they little to no considerations for their customer. Maybe the numbers of cars/customers concerned by the shortage issue is so low that they decided to do so and hopped this will go unnoticed. And by the way you must be trolling, I can't believe you are totally fine getting disrespected like this just because they are an unique company with a unique product, which is by the way just marketing.

I'm not saying you should buy one. I'm saying I have one and it is by far the best deal of any car I have ever bought. I could sell it right now for 5k more than I paid for it.

You may find $TSLA is far better deal than your car.

What are you talking about? The car left the factory faulty as it is, there is no excuse, chip shortages or not. There is no way I am buying a Tesla now or in the future.

Sure, if you're happy with a company pulling moves like this, by all means. Make an informed decision.
