- Receiving a brand-new automobile should be an incredible experience, but for one US Tesla Cybertruck owner, it was a disaster when he left the dealership with the incorrect car. How did this nightmare come to pass?
- IT professional Vikas Parikh detailed his experiences at a Tesla delivery facility in Houston, Texas, in a late-week X-post. Parikh described going to the Houston-Cypress facility to pick up his Cybertruck, but during the transfer, he ran into an issue with the passenger seat in tweets aimed at Elon Musk and Tesla.
- After it was decided to fix the electric pickup, Parikh walked out of the store without his car. He received a notification on his Tesla app the following Tuesday indicating his Cybertruck was prepared for collection. When he got back to the dealership, he was told Tuesdays were not delivery days.
- But they found his vehicle after searching their lot, and they let him drive it home. He was shocked to learn that the Cybertruck he had been given was not his own when he got home.
- Parikh claims he found out the VIN of the EV he stole was not the same as the one that was originally given to him after the passenger seat repair when he got home. Parikh alleges in his tweets that he is unable to drive the Cybertruck because it is registered under a different VIN than the one he is insured for, and that he has been unable to contact Tesla to rectify the confusion.
- The original, seemingly-deleted tweets from the irate owner were uploaded on Reddit. We’ve gotten in touch with Parikh to find out whether Tesla has addressed the error and if he’s received the Cybertruck that he paid for initially.
