2017 100D On Autotrader

I found these while browsing autotrader this morning. If anyone is looking for a 100D with low miles, this would be a great option. This isn’t my vehicle, and I’ve never heard of the dealer but they seem to be a real business in IN. 2017 with 6k miles for $55k! Makes me wonder if it’s a 75D

I reached out and they provided me with pics, a link to the vehicle on their site and the car fax. Apparently it was a corporate vehicle, according to the car fax, which could explain the low mileage. I still don’t understand them posting it for at least $10k under what they could probably get for it. Definitely feels fishy! The website is also newly registered, FWIW.

That's an interesting find. Looking through the dealer pics, I notice 2 things:

1. It's on an ancient firmware version (v8?) so it may have been parked for a while
2. Instrument display also says 100D so unless it's been rooted/rebadged, stated range is probably just dealer error

Great info. Why is it on their website then?
Im not even convinced the website is real. The phone number if you look up the dealer on Google is different [(317) 292-9075] and the website linked above is super generic and even has a link to 'dealerwebsites.com' at the bottom which is a website to create car dealer websites in minutes. I cant find a website for the dealer through google only the Facebook page

Don't fall for it.

This is very similar to this scam 2018 Tesla Model X P100D AWD Sterling Import Motors | Dealership in Colorado Springs

The real car is

2018 Tesla Model X P100D AWD w/ Enhanced Autopilot w/ Ludicrous Mode

They copy the pictures , black out dealer plate and list it to fish data and cash.


WOW, thank you so much for posting this. you literally saved me! I was just talking to the guy yesterday and was going to put a deposit down on CC today and fly out tomorrow to get it.

I'm half surprised they didn't mention the free oil change and a full tank of gas.
