I'm ready to sell my 2014 Model S P85 with 45,000 miles in the San Francisco Bay Area. Not sure if I should try to sell individually or find a broker. And don't know if Teslas are easy to sell on Carvana and similar sites. I'd be grateful for any suggestions. Thank you!

If you're buying a new(er) car from a dealer, have you considered trading in? What are you replacing it with?
I did buy a newer Tesla but Tesla's trade in value seemed much lower than what I'm seeing them sell for so I didn't opt to trade it in.
The second you place an ad you will get scammers - they have no shame. Don't take any offers over asking price.
For payment, when I sold mine, the buyer came to Oregon from Colorado, we went to a Wells Fargo (where he had an account), and they made out a cashier's check to me - which I then walked across the street to my bank and deposited it. We then went to the DMV to ensure title transfer (and they got temp tags).
It takes several days for the app to transfer, so I followed them on it as they drove non-stop back to Colorado. My car replaced their old car, which had been totaled. In the app I saw they'd changed the car's name from "Nikola" (my name) to "The Blue Dream".
Really nice to the the car was in the hands of someone who appreciated it.
