I want to inform you about a situation that I personally find disturbing and wanted to enlighten / forewarn anyone considering doing business with Mountain Pass PerPerformance.
I received an email introducing a new product for the R1 from a company called Mountain Pass Performace (MPP). Since I didn't own a Tesla previously, this company was new to me. The product had promise and would provide me with the capability to go up a size on my tires without rubbing (nearly 20k miles on the stock Scorpions, time for new shoes). Additionally, MPP touted better handling at various ride heights (specifically lowest). Coupled with the assurance of easy installation and a pre-order discount, I purchased a set through MPP's website. The cart allowed for both credit card and PayPal purchases. I used a credit card and my receipt reflected such.
The next day I researched the installation and adjustment instructions as well as calling service for warranty advice. I was told this product may void the warranty and I determined the installation was too much for me. Therefore, I sent an email asking to cancel my order.
MPP graciously replied that there would be no problem and I would be credited the purchase price less a PayPal fee. I reminded them that I did not purchase through PayPal and did not incur the fees.
MPP replied they process through PayPal and sorry for the confusion.
14 days later I informed MPP that I still had not received my refund.
MPP stated that because I didn't reply they did not cancel my order and issue a refund.
I tersely responded to "issue a full refund now". I was perturbed that: 1. MPP was charging me for fees that they made the decision to incur, 2. They did not cancel my order, as requested, in the hope that they could ship product and force acceptance by incurring additional fees (shipping).
MPP replied with a scathing response that I have included below.
I informed MPP that I would inform my contacts of this transaction which MPP replied sarcastically to.
Screen shots of the emails are provided below.
I may be off base and you may find that you are ok doing business with MPP, this is my interaction with them and my review of it.
Thanks for hearing my grievances (founded or not).
