I was under the impression you bought a 2013 Tesla MS with an updated 90kW battery pack off of eBay. Call me confused. Recall your other thread was asking questions about the car after you had won the eBay bid instead of asking questions about the car before placing your bid. Assume you got out of that transaction and now are into this one but still wanting to negotiate after buying the car? While it's usually buyer beware I think Seller beware also can apply.

Bought a CPO 2012 MS, confused...

You're right, I did get out of the ebay auction as I feel more comfortable dealing with Tesla and not a used car dealer in NJ. He was pretty nice though.
While I get maybe not feeling as comfortable going through a third party used car dealer (although they had high marks on ebay), what kind of warranty are you getting with this 1-year older 2012 CPO through Tesla? Had the previous owner purchased the Extended 4-year warranty before selling it back to Tesla? The 2013 ebay car had quite a bit less mileage (17K less) for $600 more, had a relatively new 90kW battery (those came out I think in late 2016 or early 2017) as opposed to the likely original 85kW in the CPO unless you know something different, had only 1 owner, and looked like much better body condition. Probably not much more in delivery fees on the NJ one if not less -- Calif to Texas on the CPO as opposed to the ebay NJ to Texas delivery where they were absorbing the first 500 miles of delivery fee. Both had the tech package, audio upgrade and air suspension.
I'm not sure about refusing delivery once they've shipped a CPO across country for you and then getting your money back, or simply trying to cancelling the agreement you signed and getting money back. These are legal agreements and you should be aware of all of the terms of the agreement before signing. Surprised after your first ebay purchase that you haven't ironed out questions about all this ahead of time. Good luck and hope to welcome you to the Tesla family at some point.

Thank you, someone is funny and put a P in front of the 85. I'm happy with those specs regardless.
With the paint armor being almost 7 years old, can I just peel it off at this point?
Also important to note that it shows it was equipped with Paint Armor, which confirms others' observation regarding the apparent wrap on the hood.
Beat me to it - I'd suggest bringing it to a good detailer for the best recommendation.

Hi, chiming in a bit late but yes, it has the factory paint armor (our P85 had the same). I'm pretty sure that damage will come off with the film. That's what it's for!
I'm in the process of buying a service loaner S100D. You can refuse delivery once you see it in person but you will sacrifice the $2k transport fee (it was $1k in our case as it was coming from Indy). The $2,500 deposit you can move to another vehicle (at least that was what I was told by the KC sales folks).

Also the metal pedals are another indication of the performance model.
Those are not included in the standard model unless you buy them from the Tesla online store (like I did) but I wouldn't put a fake P on though. :/
Glad you are happy with the car regardless!

Performance Leather seats with the pleather suede inserts were an additional $2500 option on my P85+, they were not included as part of either the base P85 package or the Performance Plus upgrade. Mine's not a 2012 though, I don't know if they required the seats upgrade in 2012.

They were in 2012, the performance model came with the performance seats
Tesla later unbundled that option
The early cars were all over the map. I bought a 2012 (signature non performance) VIN# S00162 very early production. It has aluminum pedals, preforated signature white interior. The only thing I don't have are the rear facing child seats.
The early cars were pretty much loaded with what would later become options.
