    What would make you buy a non Tesla electric vehicle?

    Price and a better support system. An established car manufacturer is going to have more repair options and facilities. I bought Tesla because it was the only EV that was fun to drive. Who wants to putt putt around in a Leaf when you can fly in a Tesla? If anyone comes up with something fun...

    How many of you are renting your Model S on Turo?

    Recently I was trying to help a Tesla owner whose S was totaled by a Turo renter. The Turo insurance product was not great and he was fighting a lowball total loss value. He ended up having to go to arbitration. I can't imagine giving something so valuable to anyone just because they can...

    2018 Model S AutoPilot cost?

    I'm not sure you can still even buy EAP. I am in the process of purchasing a new 2018 S direct from Tesla. It originally had EAP but they removed it so now it comes only with basic AP. I asked if it could be restored to EAP and was told NO, now all cars they offer direct are standardized to...

    Elaborate scam on cars.com (and other sites)

    Wow I think I almost got sucked into one of these ! II saw a desirable car listed online. The guy said he took a job in Canada as a pilot and the car was at a warehouse in Michigan. And he left the keys and title with an agent who could transact business for him. I never got as far as...

    Pricing on Inventory MSD100

    There is a Facebook group called "Tesla Showroom Deals" where these deals show up quite a lot. There are a couple of groups with this name, you want the one with about 4400 members. (I am NOT affiliated with this group.) Deals are posted regularly and they go fast! Last week I saw a couple...

    2018 MS with AP only?

    I can't find it in EV-CPO and the OA is very thoroughly refusing to answer whether it was removed. Although I must say when I looked in the archives of EV-CPO I did find that some 18s came with just AP. So maybe it came that way, I am just bummed because I would have to pay 6k to get those...

    2018 MS with AP only?

    Hello, I've got the opportunity to purchase a new model S from Tesla but it comes with AP only. No EAP. The VIN is 294,xxx. I asked the OA if the car had EAP and it was removed, she doesn't have an answer. Does anyone have, or have you seen, a 2018 with no EAP? I gues I'd have to hope for...

    Using a supercharger when it's not free

    Newbie Supercharging questions. I'm looking to purchase a car from a private party and drive it home. The car does not have free supercharging. I have a Tesla account (because I was going to buy from them). I've been told it can take days fro Tesla to attach a particular vehicle to your...

    Unlimited supercharging disappearing from used/cpo cars

    Tesla is no longer offering free supercharging with the used vehicles it sells. Any model or age, even if it had free SC originally. Looks like it changed overnight. How does this affect your buying decision?

    Used Model S Purchase Experience (Arkansas Buyer)

    So what state's taxes did you have to pay if you live in Arkansas and the car is in Texas? Can you tell me what fees Tesla charges on their end? Dealers charge doc fees, etc, how much does Tesla charge? In other words what was your "out the door" cost? Thank you

    Convince me to buy used from Tesla vs Dealer

    I put down my $2500 on a used S, with Tesla. Changed my mind a couple days later and they refunded the money. I got it in writing (text and email) that they would refund it, it took about 30 days, but they did. So you can get it back. My hesitations about buying from a traditional car dealer...

    Used Purchase - Tesla disables FSD even if already purchased by previous owner?

    Ahkhan, can you elaborate a bit more on the change from FSC attached the car, to the owner, which occurred in January 2017? I'm looking to purchase a used car that was delivered Jan 2017, Tesla employee says it will keep FSC but how can i be sure? Thx.

    2.0 with FSD - Do you have it? Would you buy it?

    Really, do you anticipate that that function will be added to 2.0 vehicles?

    2.0 with FSD - Do you have it? Would you buy it?

    Hello, all. I have the opportunity to purchase a pre-owned Model S 90D (built 12/16) with these codes: APF2 - FSD APH2 - Hardware 2 APPB - enhanced AP I've read other threads where some drivers complained that 2.0 was not as smooth or functional as 1.0. That 2.0 was only installed in about...

    2016 75D - CPO with a major heart-wrenching issue

    I read on another thread about a user taking advantage of an arbitration process to get their yellowed screen replaced. So if you cannot resolve with Tesla directly take it to arbitration and you have a good case. Keep all of your documentation and log your calls and contacts. Good luck!

    Help, One Electrician Wanted To Charge $1500

    I live in Portland Oregon, my electric panel is on the other side of the house and down 2 fights of stairs from the garage. My first quote was $2400 to run conduit up into my attic, across the house and down into the garage where they would wire in a charging station It's the amount of labor...

    Used Model S Pricing Right now

    I think right now the prices of new Model S are unusually low/discounted to clear them out for the end of the quarter. Otherwise there is no explanation for why slightly used are more expensive than new. And Tesla offers an additional 4yr 50k mile warranty on their used cars. When you buy a...

    How much does supercharging cost?

    That is what I wondered.

    How much does supercharging cost?

    Much is being made right now of the free supercharging for life deal on a new Tesla. For those of you who didn't get this deal, how much does it cost to supercharge? I know it is based on the electricity rates where you are charging. But I'm trying to get an idea of how much a person spends...

    Sound System

    question is the car has xm/Sirius as well as Slacker but the xm doesn’t have all the channels. For eg, I can't get Howard Stern. Also curious if Sirius came included with some cars for a year or whatever and then I’ll have to subscribe? Has anyone had this issue of missing channels? I listen...

    Confused new S cost less/same as used???

    I think they are keeping used car prices artificially high to drive new car sales. I've been tracking features and prices on new vs used 100s for a month now. Used car prices are in some cases same as, or higher than new. And the 17s and 18s don't have free supercharging.

    This time actually, I bought a MS.

    If the car you saw was a red 100D, VIN 248515 for 67k; that vehicle was taken off the site before it sold. My OA told me it was a return that was posted as new, in error. Others reported that the car was returned with damage. I share your pessimism. The unicorn Teslas are very rare.

    Used Model S Pricing Right now

    Thank you everyone. Hard to believe wheels add $4500 more to a car's value than the standard wheels. But, this is Tesla... I need to learn more about options, clearly. Thank you!

    Used Model S Pricing Right now

    Here are two examples: 2017 Model S | Tesla 2019 Model S | Tesla Not a big difference in price, but one has 17k miles and the other 250. EAP vs AP seems to be the only other big difference. Thanks for any insight.

    Used Model S Pricing Right now

    So I have been cruising the used Model S listings for a few weeks now. And I've noticed that there are at least 10 Model S Long Range, 2017s and 2018s, with mileage on them, that are listed for as much as, or more than the cost of a brand new one. Can anyone explain why this is so? For...

    Someone buy this X 100D 6 seater with EAP for $69K

    I put in an order for a 2016 90D. But I keep seeing these amazing deals that people find for 2017 or 2018, 100Ds. And I ask myself - should I cancel the order for the used S and work harder to find one of these crazy-priced unicorn cars? Part of me wants to wait and hunt for a unicorn. Part...

    Tesla "Used" buying nightmare

    It's been a few months, have you had any luck? When you are on the Tesla site, put in different ZIP codes, especially ones for California (90210) and Florida (32830) and Chicago (60601). Also it has been mentioned on other threads but many of the listings have actual vehicle photos now. I was...

    Used Tesla Inventory ?

    I talked to a Tesla used sales rep today. He said they are selling cars soooo quickly right now. New cars are uploaded around 8pm every night. Prices are reduced a few hundred bucks, every morning, until the car sells. I have been tracking cars on a spreadsheet at home for a couple of weeks...

    This time actually, I bought a MS.

    I've searched the Teslainventory website, toof, never saw anything that came that close to 60k. I've talked to sales people. They seemed unwilling to scout out cars such as this, when i called up asking specifically for a car with some miles on it, or a good discount, anything like that. i...

    Used Tesla Previously Repaired

    I talked to two different Tesla reps about previously repaired cars. I asked about two specific cars. With the first car, they told me it was a 'sideswipe type of accident' and that no body panels were replaced, which suggests to me body filler. Did not know who did the repairs. On the other...

    Used Tesla Previously Repaired

    I'm not sure how Tesla could claim these vehicles are "repaired to Tesla standards" without knowing the nature and extent of the damage. Body or frame damage is quite a different thing than repainting a panel or putting on a new bumper.

    Used Tesla Previously Repaired

    A totaled vehicle is one whose cost to repair is at or close to its value, or had major damage to the frame, or flood damage, you get my point. A car with that level of damage is going to get a branded/salvage/total loss title. It can't be sold as a "clean" car because the title will have a...
