I’m sorry, I think Tesla does a bunch of BS, but any time you buy a product there’s a chance the price will drop the day after. You don’t get buy something and then demand what is functionally a partial refund of what you paid if/when the price drops later.

I guess unless you’re willing to pay them more if the price increases in future?

Tesla dropped the price twice in 3 months though. And it's a huge price purchase. I think there's justification. It's not like you're buying a dish washer.

There's really never a justification for damaging another person's property.

Besides that, a Tesla is a luxury item, these buyers are owed nothing and are acting spoiled and entitled.

And let's say you reimburse the difference. How far back do you go? There's always going to be some arbitrary line and some people are going to feel unlucky. Such is life.

Maybe go back a quarter?

It's common for US companies to reimburse the difference in price after a short while, usually around 30 days. Costco and Amazon will do this.

I would be pissed off if I'm a Tesla customer.

And now the person that bought (quarter + 1) days ago would be pissed.
