LOL, I'm definitely not trolling here.
As it stands, the car is sitting in the shop for a bit, apparently parts are going to take some time to arrive, so no news on that front.
In terms of the Telsa, they're not offering him $5K
The guy isn't an idiot here.
With trade-in along with incentives, he'll walk away with a Model3 for that additional amount (roughly $5K).
The Model3 won't be ready until January of next year, so if someone is interested in checking out his vehicle, he'd be open to that for sure.
He wanted to go EV as his next vehicle anyways, so this only expedited that decision, he loves this car though.
