VERY PROFESSIONAL, EXTREMELY HELPFUL - CAN'T GO WRONG I bought my Tesla Model X 100D from these guys.

The car was exactly as advertised, the service was excellent, and there was never any stress on negotiation, and the after sales service was above and beyond what I have found from run of the mill dealers. Virgil was particularly helpful with steering me in the right direction on adapters I would need and advice on installing the correct outlet. They are never too busy to help. More

Beware Out of State Buyers We purchased a Tesla from Sam Jidd Luxury in early December from out of state. Our displeasure started with the negotiation of the car and lasted wel We purchased a Tesla from Sam Jidd Luxury in early December from out of state. Our displeasure started with the negotiation of the car and lasted well beyond delivery. Prior to finalizing a price, my husband and I asked about the quality of the interior and were told by our sales representative, Virgil, that the car was “immaculate”. We later asked if there were any dings or dents and Virgil responded, “Hey man, we are not that kind of dealer. We only sell pristine, high quality cars.” We took Virgil at his word and chose not to send an inspector to look over the car. After we settled on a price for a car that we presumed had been completely reconditioned, we were told about a $795 “dealer fee” that was not previously disclosed. Feeling a little upset about how that came out we waited for the promised paperwork via e-mail. All we received were wiring instructions. The following day we had to call several times to see what was going on with our bill of sale. We finally received an invoice that had a higher shipping price than we were quoted the previous day. We did receive a corrected version and e-signed the document nearly 48 hours after agreeing on a price. The only thing that happened quickly at this dealership was getting the car on a car carrier after our wire was received. Then our real troubles began. The car was absolutely filthy when we took delivery from the carrier. We looked the car over, but we were not able to see its actual condition. We took it home and immediately washed it. The interior was pristine, but there were three dents on the left rear quarter panel. We knew we had bought the car “as is”, but we were very upset that the dents were not disclosed. Had we known about them we would have (a) asked for pictures, (b) possibly sent an inspector and (c) considered the cost of repair in our negotiation. We were also disappointed to find out that the car was delivered with no charging cable, no temporary registration and only one key. We called Virgil and told him we were rather disappointed to say the least. SJL did agree to purchase a charging cable for us and had it shipped directly to us. After several days of phone calls, we finally received a temporary registration via e-mail that should have been in the car when it was shipped. The temporary registration finally allowed us to get a Tesla account so that we could get the car charged while we waited for the cable. We then struggled for several weeks to get a title so that the car could be registered in California. Nearly eight weeks after we negotiated the purchase price of the car we finally had a title in hand. While waiting for the title to arrive, we had the dents repaired at a cost of $500. We sent a copy of the repair bill to SJL along with pictures of the damage. We asked for reimbursement of the repair cost since the damage was not disclosed. Virgil said he would take it up with the General Manager but we have never heard back from him. The car is wonderful, but the experience for an out of state purchase was very trying. More
