Consumer Claims Deception by Tesla After Deposit Despite Promised Subsidy

TapTechNews August 22nd news, on August 16th, a consumer posted on a social platform that he had paid a deposit after being clearly informed by the Tesla salesperson that he could get a subsidy of 14,000 ($2,000 approximately) yuan. However, the next day he was informed that the activity had ended a week ago. The consumer felt deceived and demanded that Tesla refund the deposit but was told that it could not be refunded.

According to the report of Jiupai News, in response, the manager of the involved Tesla store responded that the store salesperson never said 100% subsidy would be given. The government subsidy is not given by Tesla, and it should be the consumers themselves who pay more attention to the subsidy.

The manager said: We are all adults and should not rely solely on what a salesperson says to make judgments. In addition, the manager denied the existence of excessive commitment, and believed that the salesperson just informed the customer about the relevant subsidy policy.

As of TapTechNews' posting, the consumer has not updated the relevant progress for the time being.
