Specifics about which product orders had been cancelled and the number of Best Buy customers who were affected weren't known.

» » Tesla ends buyback guarantee programmeSAN FRANCISCO/DETROIT: Tesla Motors has ended a program that guaranteed the resale value of its cars, and lowered the starting price of its Model X crossover, the high-profile electric vehicle maker said on Wednesday. The discontinuation of the buyback program, as of July 1, allows Tesla to free up cash that had been set aside to buy back Model S cars after three years at a value of at least 50% of the base purchase price. The changes come after Tesla warned earlier this month it will miss its vehicle delivery target for a second consecutive quarter. It faces other challenges, including a regulatory investigation of its Autopilot technology following a May 7 fatal crash and more scrutiny of its financials after a proposed merger with SolarCity. Within the next 12 months, Tesla has disclosed it could pay a maximum of $192.4 million to cover resale value guarantees on 4,209 vehicles. That amounts to a maximum liability of $45,711 per car, although Tesla could offset payouts by reselling repurchased vehicles.

Tesla driver dies in crash while using car's 'Autopilot' Tesla valued the total liability created by the resale value guarantee at $1.58 billion as of March 31, according to its latest quarterly filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, up over 20% since the end of 2015. The program, begun in 2013, was intended to help Tesla control its secondary market and reassure buyers purchasing vehicles using its novel technology that resale values wouldn't drop substantially. A Tesla spokesperson said the program was discontinued to "keep interest rates as low as possible and offer a compelling lease and loan program to customers." In effect, Tesla is now doing what most established auto makers do: allow market forces to set trade-in values. Less cash in reserve Only a very small number of Model S sedans are sold through used vehicle auctions, and so far the vehicles "seem to be going for a pretty strong premium in the second hand market," said Patrick Min, an analyst with Automotive Lease Guide.

Ending the guarantee could allow Tesla to hold less money in reserve, Min added. In contrast, resale values for mass market electric vehicles such as the Nissan Leaf are depressed, Min said. A three-year-old Leaf is selling on average for about 20% of its price when new, he said. As more Model S vehicles enter the market, however, resale values could eventually fall, analysts said. Tesla has outlined an ambitious and costly plan to speed up the launch of its Model 3 sedan, and boost total production to a rate of 500,000 vehicles a year by 2017. The company is also gearing up to launch production of batteries at a giant factory in Nevada. Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk hints a 'top secret masterplan' Tesla shares closed down nearly 1% at $222.53. Investors are keeping a close eye on Tesla's balance sheet after chief executive Elon Musk proposed it acquire solar energy company SolarCity, where he is chairman and a large shareholder. Musk tweeted on Sunday he planned to soon publish part two of his "top secret Tesla masterplan," prompting speculation he might reveal more details about the possible merger, which has been met with market skepticism.
