Homebuyer Stunned After Seller Leaves Them with a Surprise Monthly Tesla Bill: 'I Didn't Get Any Warning'

A California homebuyer was left scratching his head when he discovered that the previous owner of the property had set up a monthly payment plan for their Tesla electric vehicle. The buyer, who wishes to remain anonymous, claimed that there was no mention of this arrangement in the sales contract or any communication with the seller.

According to reports, the homebuyer received a surprise bill from Tesla a few days after closing the sale, stating that they were responsible for making monthly payments on the vehicle. The buyer was taken aback by this revelation and felt that he had not been adequately informed about the situation.

"I didn't get any warning or notice from the seller," the homebuyer explained in an interview. "I thought I was buying a house, not taking on someone else's car payments."

Tesla owners know that their vehicles can be used as collateral for loans and other financial arrangements. In some cases, sellers may set up monthly payment plans with Tesla to pay off the loan or lease balance.
