Consumer Description
I purchased this vehicle from Tesla on March 31 2021. The vin sticker affixed to vehicle inside driver's door shows a manufacturer date of July 2018. After I got it home and dug deeper into the main control unit, I discovered that the main control unit was from a vehicle built prior to March of 2018. All Tesla vehicle built March of 2018 and on, have an updated main control unit. It has been confirmed by Tesla that the car was manufactured in February of 2018. Tesla refuses to tell me why I purchased a vehicle with a vin sticker that states a manufacture date of July 2018 and that the car has a true manufacture date of February 2018. This is a six month discrepancy in time. The vin sticker is there to protect the consumer. It is there to let the consumer know what they are buying. This vin sticker is false, therefore compromising my ability to make a fair purchase decision. Telsa refuses to put July 2018 equipment into my car, to match the vin sticker information. here is an email from me to Tesla Re: MCU 2 [XXX] From:[email protected] To:[XXX] CC: Sent:Tuesday, May 18th 2021, 9:35:33 PM Subject:MCU 2 Hello [XXX], Can you tell me what your local service center is? That way I can escalate your case further to that sales manager and have them look more into what is happening. Thank you!
