    Recommendation of Body Shop (exterior) in San Fernando Valley CA?

    HI, my entire front got ripped of the hinge while backing up from a parking spot. Very sad and fairly poor engineering here. Anyway, can anyone recommend a body shop to do this work in Los Angeles, San Fernando Valley preferred? Thank you!!!

    Set of 4, 21” grey turbine wheels, OEM Tesla, like new.

    Selling my 21” grey turbine wheels. There were TESLA stock OEM wheels on my P90DL+. (bought CPO) They have about 6k miles on them (wheels brand new at CPO sale) I believe these are called "staggered" 245/265. Why selling? The look KICK ASS and handle well, but I hate the ride. Yeah...

    If you had the funds for your car today. Budget was 50K. What would you do?

    Thank you sir for the clarification. I respect your point on the + suspension. I personally do not like that suspension, but I understand the draw. Must also note for folks here, the + Suspension ended in early 2015....so not all P85D = + Suspension.

    If you had the funds for your car today. Budget was 50K. What would you do?

    Honestly, the idea about the P90d battery being much worse then a P85d just has to end. Anyone who would pay more for a P85d over a P90d should just do it. But there is no logical and rational reason to do so, all else equal. I personally do not buy the P90-battery issue thing. But each...

    Concerns of purchasing used Performance Lud car

    Tesla is turning on Ludicrous for used car sales (when applicable) even if they were not previous Ludicrous. So for these cars, this means there is no chance of "ludicrous abuse" from previous owner. (you can tell which cars because in the pix, the battery size take does not yet have the...

    How many miles are "too many" miles for a used MS?

    Curious what owners and purchasers of used or CPO Tesla Model S think are too many miles....meaning, when the little things start to need repair and you feel the big things might be failing soon too? As a previous Tesla owner, I had one of the first in 2013 and replaced it in 2015. The 2013...

    Tesla Used Inventory Down 30%?

    Please help me understand how you know this and how it is true? If it were true, wouldn't Tesla take a much more aggressive and have higher volume business in used Tesla's? It appears, which is the point of this thread, they are contracting from this used business.

    Tesla Used Inventory Down 30%?

    "used cars are more profitable long term"....is this true with Electric cars and with the 4/yr warranty that Tesla gives with the non-dealer model? I do not know the used car economics like you might, but it seems to me, as a simple viewer of the last few years, Tesla does not value used cars...

    Tesla Used Inventory Down 30%?

    I agree with the above. 1. There is not enough used cars to impact new car sales or drive prices. we are talking 100's of Tesla used car sales/month vs 20k new now with model 3. 2. Using them for mobile fleet might be true. I drove past the Tesla service center in Van Nuys....did not...

    It's not anything about "this country anymore", it is about being kind, which works anywhere, anytime. You called me "out of whack", not my conclusions. Neither of us know what is happening to this market. So ideas are worth discussing. If you want to apologize, give a real one, not a...

    Please try not to be insulting on these or any other digital forum. My post was neither sarcasm nor silly. Perfectly reasonable possible conclusion. You can disagree, offer other ideas (as you have in other posts) but do not personally insult someone.

    As the OP, and having watched the official Tesla Used Model S for sale in the US drop from 1200 models in Feb. to about 100 now, I am stunned. Been advising my father-in-law on a P85d or P90d, we've literally seen that model price RISE 20% from Dec 2018 until now. I feel terrible for my...

    Tesla Used Inventory Down 30%?

    When so many disappear at once, it statistically should not be demand. Folks do not suddenly buy on a certain day without reason. So this has to be is a supply issue. Which means Tesla pulling cars back for...loaners?

    Has anyone else noticed that the number of used Model S inventory in the US has contracted by about 30% in past 2 weeks or so? Per ev-cpo hunter (ev-cpo.com) there regularly used to be about 11xx used Model S for sale by Tesla (my tracking). That has been reduced to about 814 as of today...

    When buying used from Tesla, from which date does the 8-year battery warranty start?

    Yes, I am only referring to the battery/drivetrain warranty and what date it begins: as some used Tesla sold by Tesla were loaners for months (and many miles) and thus were not "sold" for the first time until after this use. Thus, it would seem the clock starts on the battery/drivetrain...

    When buying used from Tesla, from which date does the 8-year battery warranty start?

    Thank you. That is what I was hoping as several cars were loaners for months and then had their first owner (and title). As you are writing, that date, the first owner/title is the date the Batter/drive warranty starts.

  44. spy4007

    When buying used from Tesla, from which date does the 8-year battery warranty start?

    Does it begin on the date on the VIN (manufacture date) or Original Delivery date? I ask because Delivery can be later. And if car is used as a Tesla loaner, first customer delivery can be even a year later. Thank you all in advance.

    Tesla P85D CPO for $51K

    I can see the 2014 selling for less. I feel Tesla started to nail all the obvious production issues by end of 2014. Plus one year less on the drivetrain and battery warranty and the 2014 should sell for less. But the 2015 not moving I cannot explain.
