    Buyer beware. Buying a CPO Tesla feels like a SCAM.

    @Mark_T Agreed. Wishful thinking on my part that we were going to get out of there with the car without that check from the lender, and yeah, at least we did get the additional detailing work. Unhappy as I am about all of this, I wonder if the lack of responsiveness from Tesla side is because...

    Purchasing CPO (Used) Tesla and Financing through 3rd Lender Party Experience

    Well said, Lasttoy. I wish I had been as smart, but allowed myself to be lulled into false sense of trust because I love the brand and a close friend had a much better experience prior to Tesla's April "overhaul" of their CPO program. I also wanted the piece of mind afforded by having the...

    Buyer beware. Buying a CPO Tesla feels like a SCAM.

    Purchasing CPO (Used) Tesla and Financing through 3rd Lender Party Experience

    Corrected link: "Does Tesla really want to have the worst CPO Program in the world?" Also, to finish the last bullet in previous post: You will not be allowed to test drive the vehicle until you have finalized the purchase. In other words, you are not allowed to drive the used vehicle even...

    Purchasing CPO (Used) Tesla and Financing through 3rd Lender Party Experience

    So for those of you who have not yet read the threads on the scaling back of standards for Tesla's CPO program ("Buying a CPO Tesla feels like a SCAM" and "Does Tesla really want to have the worst CPO Program in the world?"), here's a quick summary of changes that appear to have been rolled out...

    Buyer beware. Buying a CPO Tesla feels like a SCAM.

    So, for those of you who may be interested, here's what's happened since my last update. Right off the bat though, I will say that at this point, I am extremely disappointed and frustrated at how the purchase process has played out. I'll take some of the blame for just being plain ignorant about...

    Buyer beware. Buying a CPO Tesla feels like a SCAM.

    Thanks, @EVChris excellent advice. I had not even thought to ask about the 3G versus LTE so will be sure to do so.

    Buyer beware. Buying a CPO Tesla feels like a SCAM.

    Like @EVChris, I discovered this thread only AFTER putting down my $1000 deposit for a 2015 Model S P85, and now I'm super worried. To their credit, one of the first things the OA did was send me pics of the car. As I reviewed them, I noticed what appeared to be water stains on the headliner...
