    I think my new-to-me CPO P85D is a dud. Am I wrong?

    These recent stories about Tesla Used Car Sales have me scratching my head as to what has gone wrong in the four years since I purchase a CPO P85 Signature Model S. My experience was one of the best in a long car buying history and I felt attended to every step of the way. The horror story...

    Tesla CPO Pricing

    I recently corresponded with a Tesla CPO specialist and commented about the lack of inventory. He responded that he had access to lot's of cars that were not listed and encouraged me to send him my requirements so that he could come back with cars that were available and matched my specs. The...

    Extended Warranty Worth it?

    Just found out the same thing. My CPO lease is 60 days from expiration and the CPO warranty is expiring at the same time. Would love to buy the car at the end of the lease but without the ability to extend I am leaning towards getting a new lease on another newer CPO car. By not allowing CPO...

    car needs service power reduced (newbie)

    UPDATE: Tesla SC had my car for 4 working days. Got it back today. They replaced the drive unit and associated cables and mounts. Car runs like a top. Still have 3 years left on drivetrain warranty. As usual, Tesla service was excellent in all respects, efficiency, courtesy, and great...

    car needs service power reduced (newbie)

    So I have a 2012 SIgnature P85 Model S. Just hit 70K miles. SC replaced battery preemptively at around 30K miles and last May replaced DU due to milling noise. This afternoon I got the Reduced Power warning and car coasted to a stop. All of the electronics worked but nothing from the Drive...

    Battery upgrade / replacement.

    They specifically said that my original pack was going to be remanufactured and eventually returned and put back in the car. Don't think that is going to happen! My old pack is probably in someone else's car at this point. To make things even more interesting, my lease is up in 90 days at...

    Battery upgrade / replacement.

    I have an early P85 Signature car. The original pack was swapped out two years ago never to be seen again. Still running on the "replacement" for over 30K miles....Don't expect to see the original again. Of course I have no idea what the condition of the replacement pack was compared to my...

    Charging Reduced From 40A to 30A

    I have had the same experience over the past 18 months. I have a CPO Model S P85. Car will charge at 40 and then every so often back down to 30 amps. Wiring is correct and new and everything is in good shape. Since I charge overnight I am not losing any sleep over it but it is curious.

    What's "Signature" Mean???

    So I have a 2012 Signature that I picked up as a CPO car. By the time I got it, all of the bugs were apparently dealt with since it has had no significant issues in the 24 months I have had it. It is serial number 00233...a very early car. Had one door handle replaced, that's it. Car has 40K...

    CPO Experience

    22 day wait time for a CPO is not unusual considering the reconditioning and shipping involved. Mine took 5 weeks, but it was worth it in the end. Some things should not be rushed!

    One Year in!

    It came with the Pirelli Sottozero tires. We had a very mild winter so I can't say for sure how good they are in snow. They are not as highly rated as others but I succumbed to the convenience of Tesla SC ordering and mounting them. Package deal with 19" wheels.

    One Year in!

    I took delivery of my SIlver 2012 CPO P85 Signature exactly one year ago. Here are my observations: Car was delivered with 20k on the odometer. Picked it up outside of Boston. Delivery process was great and I was well taken care of by the delivery specialist. Since this was an early...
