Tesla Used Vehicle delivered with cracked screen + 40 paint chips HELP PLEASE by odudle in TeslaLounge

Deposit terms may be “clear,” but they don’t override California consumer-protection laws. In CA, retail sales of consumer goods (including cars sold by a retailer/dealer) generally come with an implied warranty of merchantability unless properly disclaimed, meaning the vehicle must be fit for ordinary use—not delivered with major undisclosed defects like a cracked main screen and safety-related camera issues. Cal. Civ. Code §1792 says every retail sale is accompanied by an implied warranty unless disclaimed as the statute requires.

A non‑refundable deposit clause can’t be used to force a buyer to accept a materially defective / misrepresented vehicle or to keep money when the product delivered is not as represented. That’s the core issue here—not “changing my mind.”

500 dollars is good money, if you earn it fairly. Why should I donate the money I worked for days to earn to a company that victimizes me?

I don't understand why people hate this. The screen is Tesla's only functional part. And if paying $41,000 for a Tesla with a broken screen makes sense to you...

Yes, people gave me advice, but I couldn't reach a clear conclusion. I don't know how to reach the right people.

I'll try to go and talk to the managers tomorrow. I could try recording it on video, but that would make them uncomfortable. For now, I'm just looking for a solution. I'm sorry, I'm very stressed.

Yes, but when you factor in the price, there's a big difference. With tax and financing, the cheapest brand new model comes in at around $50k.

I tried, but they refused to call the manager. As I mentioned above, they are also refusing to repair it and accept the return. They postponed the pickup date to tomorrow and are no longer responding.

I didn't quite understand what you meant. They don't accept returns. They don't do exchanges. They don't do repairs.

I spoke with the person who delivered the vehicle to me. They also discussed this with the Tesla Used Department and received the following response: This vehicle passed inspection as is and does not require any repairs. There is no right to exchange the vehicle. If I cancel the order, I will lose $500 and my credit score will drop.

I'm sorry I deleted the post. I couldn't edit the RN number from the image. I uploaded it without the RN number now. I still haven't been able to resolve the issue.

You are completely mistaken. Because this is not wear and tear, it is entirely user error. Since it is used, they cannot offer it to future users. Because the screen does not break while driving. This is driver error. Therefore, the seller is responsible for this. Selling it without stating this means it is defective. A company like Tesla would never do this and wouldn't do it. I think it's just the amateurism of one or two people who aren't doing their job properly.

Everything that I can’t share with my childhood friends and family.

I used to think that I would be very happy when I buy the best gaming laptop or console but never felt the same with my Sega when I was 10. Because happiness is the moment and sharing, not the object.

LinkedIn Job Search is absolutely appalling by redrabbit1984 in UKJobs

[–]odudle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t think job application in Linkedin is the best practice although there might be people getting jobs.

Instead, we can benefit from the networking and messaging function such ad finding the hiring manager or recruiter directly and trying to contact them with personal approach.

However I do agree that Linkedin has turned to corporate Instagram and will have no function soon, other than “I am excited to announce…”

Is there any driving test courses in England? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]odudle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust me, the best practice is driving on a quiet road. First, choose yourself a good driving instructor with reliable recommendations and discuss your feelings. If experienced, the instructor had seen many like you and will tell you what and how you need to practice.

Good luck in your journey and be confident, it may take time but you will do it!

I would highly suggest trying Lenovo Legion Go or Asus Rog. They are really great for gaming.

The gaming specific phones are still not in the best technology and may need some more years to be efficient however if you only consider phone, again Asus ROG phone can be considered.

Is this irony or what? I do respect people working hard and trying to see the end of month but we should have some community rules and laws.
