    EV-CPO.com CPO Consolidator support thread

    @EV-CPO, any theories as to what's happening with used supply lately?? Stock numbers are super low and have been since I ordered my 2019 SR+ on April 21st: Model Y - 0 Model 3 - 19 Model S - 12 Model X - 12

    Wiki Consolidated eMMC Thread (MCU repair) (Black Center Screen)

    To add to the conversation, here's a JEDEC presentation on how temperature affects data retention in solid state hard drives: https://www.jedec.org/sites/default/files/Alvin_Cox%20%5bCompatibility%20Mode%5d_0.pdf Page 27 has a neat chart that shows retention of data drops as the powered-off...

    Software Version 9/10 for Non-AP/Classic Cars

    You set the speed limit setting and enable it. Once enabled, if you come within a few mph of the limit, your Tesla app will notify you that your approaching the limit (which is useful if you are valeting the car or having one of your kids take the car out). If the limit is reached, the car will...

    Software Version 9/10 for Non-AP/Classic Cars

    I can confirm that I received the speed limiter mode and it works perfectly on my 2013 P85. The app even nags me with a warning when the car approaches the limit. Pretty cool!

    Software Version 9/10 for Non-AP/Classic Cars

    Is Chill Mode actually working for you? I don't feel a difference driving my '13 P85 with it enabled.

    My Non-Refurbished Used Tesla Experience in Extreme Detail - 2013 Model S P85

    First mod was installed today (premium center console): The install went very smoothly (thanks again @Msfitz!), but had a major hiccup at the start. Turns out, the mobile technician didn't clean up any of the MCU liquid gel that leaked out of it: This stuff is absolutely disgusting...

    My Non-Refurbished Used Tesla Experience in Extreme Detail - 2013 Model S P85

    UPDATE: The mobile technician came out while I was at work and the car was left at home. He arrived and immediately began the MCU swap (I was watching from one of my security cameras). About 45 minutes later, the MCU was replaced and I got a call from the guy. He said that he could not work on...

    Just got mine using your advice after my SC stated during the purchase process that they do not give out the sticker to used tesla owners. Thanks!

    My Non-Refurbished Used Tesla Experience in Extreme Detail - 2013 Model S P85

    UPDATE: Tesla is sending a mobile technician to my house on Friday to fix the door handles, swap the MCU, and perform the LTE upgrade (which is already installed into the new MCU). I'll report back with how it all pans out.

    Tesla OEM center console for sale $600

    The forum user @Msfitz is who you're looking for. I bought the last advertised console and it arrived in perfect shape.

    New CPO Policy Experiences (non-refurbished)

    I'm not sure how you can speak on behalf of the company (maybe you work for Tesla, and that's cool), but my car was clay barred. Whether or not the previous owner did it before turn in, I have no idea. I'm just conveying information about how my car was when I took delivery this past Saturday.

    New CPO Policy Experiences (non-refurbished)

    My experience reflects yours. The car definitely had a clay bar ran across it since the surface of the car is real smooth.

    My Non-Refurbished Used Tesla Experience in Extreme Detail - 2013 Model S P85

    I would not purchase an out of warranty Model S without knowing that the door handles had a newer revision installed. The same goes for the MCU as it can bubble and/or have yellow lines showing on the side of it. I bided my time waiting for a used Tesla because I wanted the warranty for the big...

    My Non-Refurbished Used Tesla Experience in Extreme Detail - 2013 Model S P85

    I responded on Reddit, but I'll respond again here for completeness. The door handle and MCU bubble issues are well documented defects. Unless I knew beforehand that an out of warranty Model S had all handles replaced with the latest revision and the MCU was swapped out, I don't think I'd bite...

    My Non-Refurbished Used Tesla Experience in Extreme Detail - 2013 Model S P85

    Thanks, I agree! The headache of the process was well worth it.

    My Non-Refurbished Used Tesla Experience in Extreme Detail - 2013 Model S P85

    On April 25th, I managed to snag a 2013 Model S P85 (tech package, no spoiler, 21" turbines, sound studio, free supercharging, air suspension, carbon fiber interior) with the help of EV-CPO.com (thanks @HankLloydRight!!!) with 73,942 miles for $38.5k. According to EV-CPO, the car is the 10th...

    New CPO Policy Experiences (non-refurbished)

    @noah82 and @bluhorshue's stories are at the top of this forum and contain photos and details of the entire non-refurbished CPO experience. I reserved P04086 '13 P85 for $38.5k (the 10th cheapest P85 ever sold under EV-CPO's watch) on April 25th. My avatar is one of the photos Tesla sent me...

    Genuine drop in console

    Just wanted to say I received the center console today. Thank you for the great deal! You even included the little foam bits described in the installation instructions. Thanks again!

    Just took delivery of "non-refurbished" CPO

    I'm that guy (my avatar is one of the pictures Tesla sent me). I'll be posting my own non-refurbished CPO experience soon. As it stands, I'm weeding through paperwork and waiting for the transport up from Florida to Ohio. I'm in the same expectations boat as you. We're paying bottom (or near...

    "non refurbished" CPOs?

    Did you end up picking up your car last weekend? Any update on the experience and the condition of the car?

    Tesla Model S CPO Website - Now Live

    It takes a while for them to die off. I got the purchase confirmation, my credit card was charged, and the car has already been added to my account.

    I nabbed the P85 for under $40k (P04086)! Fingers crossed that it's in decent shape!

    Huge bummer!! I wish I would have seen this one earlier. I need to set up alerts so I don't miss one like this again.
