    After low ball offers by Carmax and Tesla, sold it myself - Huge Difference!

    Their cavalier attitude towards their current customers with Tesla trades has just about convinced me to sell mine privately and wait for a main stream manufacturer to come to market with a nice electric car. I went into the showroom and told them I'd be interested in trading in my 2013...

    Losing interest in the Tesla Brand

    Why do I do it? Good question. I love my 2013 P85+. It is the best car that I have ever owned and I have owed a few. I have followed this company since the NY times did a hit piece on them in 2012. Remember when they ran the cars battery down in Chicago and made a big fuss about it? That was the...

    Losing interest in the Tesla Brand

    Unfortunately it appears that it is the beginning of the end for Tesla as an autonomous company. They are closing their retail stores at the same time as their sales volume is plummeting. Sales in January were weak, as was expected given their end of the year push and the halving of the federal...

    Losing interest in the Tesla Brand

    I agree that lots of people like to test drive a car before they buy. In addition lots of people need help with the buying decision. A little nudge to get them over the hesitation. If I owned their stock I would be more than a little concerned right now. It wasn't that long ago when Musk...

    Many show rooms closing… Now what?

    I think it's the beginning of the end of Tesla's autonomy. Sales Will suffer. They need a dealership network to scale this thing. I look for a merger, buyout or bankruptcy in the near future.

    Tesla originally billed us $35 for checking air pressure

    They deliver you are car that they must have known was not going to be acceptable. You have to take your time and go thorough the hassle of getting it repaired. Then they charge you for air in your tires. What a pathetic joke!

    Has Tesla reduced the warranty duration of some CPO cars?

    I agree that their CPO program is a mess. It's not just the cars it's their unwillingness and ability to help you find the right car. It is their utter disdain for the traditional sales processes to the point of absurdity. They expect people to roll over and buy their cars with little or no...

    Has Tesla reduced the warranty duration of some CPO cars?

    I don't think they'll do that right now being as there are almost 1,000 2015"s available on their website. They are going to have to do something to make them turn faster not slower. I don't believe they were thinking clearly when they decided to lease all those Tesla's. They must have thought...

    Conundrum about purchase

    I've had the same thoughts as you regarding the AP1 or 2. AP1 works almost as good as AP2 at this time but it is not up-gradable. At first I thought autopilot was so cool. Now I'm wondering if I would trust it even with more advancements. I like driving except in stop and go freeway traffic and...

    prices after subsidies run out

    The tax credit does affect used prices. However the main driver of used vehicle prices of any vehicle is supply and demand. I have seen a big spike in supply since August. From here it looks like Tesla's marketing plan for their used cars is flawed. As more and more vehicles come off lease Tesla...

    disappointed of buying process! is this how it should be?

    They are totally ignorant with respect to selling used vehicles. They haven't had a need to figure it out until recently. Apparently they got into the leasing business about this time in 2015. Now they have a bunch of them coming back and are not set up to deal with the questions or follow up...

    2017 Tesla Model S 100D - Silver Metallic - White Interior - Premium

    I'm flying into Denver from Seattle on Friday to visit my mom. I've been actively looking for a used Model S. If it's still available I'd love to see it then. It looks really good but of course I can't tell from the pictures if it has any paintwork. It must not have any panels painted and it...

    CPO purchase from out of state California tax liability?

    Give me a break. These guys are so bad at the used car business. I don't know how they are going to make it. I just retired from 32 years in the business. The last 10 as a used car dealer. I want to trade in my 2013 P85+. I go into the Tesla store and they take pictures of my car on Sept. 15...
