If you’re looking for a dealership that values transparency and integrity, California Beemers Teslers in Costa Mesa is NOT the place to go. My experience with this establishment left me feeling mi transparency and integrity, California Beemers Teslers in Costa Mesa is NOT the place to go. My experience with this establishment left me feeling misled and insulted. First, many of their vehicles appear to be heavily abused auction cars that are given cosmetic band-aid fixes. From touch-up paint masking damage to questionable ceramic wraps used to conceal poor-quality repairs, it seems their goal is to disguise flaws rather than be upfront about a car’s condition. To make matters worse, they attempt to add these cosmetic “upgrades” to the cost of the car without disclosing it until the final stages of the transaction. Meaning, they’ve already strong armed you into dinging your credit and wasted a couple of hours of your time before you realize you’ve been sacked. The advertised prices are also deceptive. The actual cost is often $4,000–$5,000 higher than what’s listed online, thanks to mandatory upsells and hidden fees. For example, vehicles are often advertised with upgraded wheels, ceramic wraps, or tint already installed, only for you to find out these features are actually considered “add-ons” with an inflated price tag—sometimes as much as $3,500 for the wheels alone. This kind of bait-and-switch tactic wastes your time and feels incredibly predatory. Finally, the customer service was shocking. When I questioned the pricing discrepancies, the sales manager responded with insults and condescension rather than addressing the issue professionally. Instead of apologizing or attempting to resolve my concerns, they suggested I was the problem for raising questions about their practices. This dismissive, unprofessional attitude only compounded the frustration. I wouldn’t recommend this dealership to anyone. If you value honesty, respect, and your hard-earned money, save yourself the headache and go elsewhere. More
Richard our sales rep. Insisted on running my wife's credit before giving us a out the door price. Added points to her interest rate.

Then attempted to strong arm us into financing through the dealership. Ghosted me when I said we were going to finance with our own bank. But the absolute best part that I want everyone to pay attention to, is that the out the door price was over fifteen thousand dollars more then the listing price! Listing price of $42890. OTD price of $58,370. You do the math. Tax is 7% here in Florida. Save yourself sometime and look for another car. More
Try to upsell and if you don’t bite they don’t sell the car. These cars are so cheap in price you can definitely go elsewhere to buy a Tesla without the drama. You been warned STAY AWAY. car.

BAIT AND SWITCH TACTICS. They try to force you to buy And accessory packs for the car or they will not sell you the car.... I CAME IN HERE AFTER SPEAKING WITH A GENTLEMAN ON They try to force you to buy And accessory packs for the car or they will not sell you the car.... I CAME IN HERE AFTER SPEAKING WITH A GENTLEMAN ON THE PHONE ABOUT A MODEL Y... I came by the next day to take a look at the car. While they spoke very nicely to keep you distracted from their intent, Once I told him that I was interested in the car they told me that I had to buy an accessory package or they could not make a deal. I let them know that I was not interested in a $5000 package that they try to force me to buy for wheels ceramic Coating and something else... I stated that I wasn't interested in any of the options. The gentleman stated that I had to at least buy one at minimum for his boss to consider selling the card to me. When I refuse and told him that I was not interested in any accessories and I was only interested in the advertise price of the car plus taxes and fees, They stated that they could not sell the car to me. I DO NOT RECOMMEND PURCHASING A CAR FROM HERE AS WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS ACTUALLY ILLEGAL AND HOPEFULLY PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY'RE WALKING INTO WHEN DEALING WITH A DEALERSHIP LIKE THIS AND THEIR BAIT AND SWITCH TACTICS More
WALK AWAY. This car lot is a joke and they will scam you at every turn. If you think this was just my experience, I would challenge you to Google them first and This car lot is a joke and they will scam you at every turn. If you think this was just my experience, I would challenge you to Google them first and read the reviews of other people who have had the same experience as me. Here was my experience: I wanted to buy a Tesla Model 3. I test drove two of them and selected the one I liked. I asked simple questions about features. The answer was always, "Uh. I don't know". The sales staff knew nothing. Maybe to update the autopilot is 1k maybe 6k? Who knows? Next, oh you want to buy the car? “Yes, right this way. Sit here with me while I take 30 minutes to gather your information. Then I will leave. Then I will come back to tell you to wait here in the corner for my manager. You are “next in line.” While my wife and I continued to wait, all of the employees decide to hang out in the area for customer’s laughing and eating the complimentary food. Now another 30 minutes have past. We are finally led to the manager’s office. “Will you be financing?” No. We already told the first person an hour ago we were paying cash. But that changed the entire attitude of the manager. “Will you be keeping the wheels that are on the car?” Beware: They put “premium” wheels on the car and then charge you for them in addition to the sticker price. We caught this scam two hours earlier though and told our salesperson we would not be purchasing the wheels and to put the stock wheels back on. When we told the manager no, we would not be purchasing the premium wheels, he stopped, looked at us and said, “No? Oh, well unfortunately I don’t have anyone who can switch the wheels.” Excuse me? So what are my options? “Well, I guess you’ll have to come back another day to get the car.” I live 90 minutes away. The manager laughed and said “So come back Monday.” Next up – the “contract.” When the manager told me the total, it seemed high. I asked to see the numbers. And that’s when I saw it. A $1900 fee for a “ceramic coating.” If you aren’t familiar with this scam, just google it. There are shady car lots that are pulling this nonsense all over the place. They claim to have put a ceramic coating on the car to protect the paint. It is not optional. You have to pay for it. When I questioned it, the manager became agitated and stated, “Dealers always have fees. This is our fee.” At this point, I was done. I walked out. No apology, no attempt to make it right. Summary: Don’t give this place your business. You work too hard for your money to waste it here. More

I purchased a Model X from them over the summer. I also purchased an extended warranty which no Tesla deeper/service center will honor and the dealer is unable to repair it either.
