Please keep us updated. I may be in the same boat this summer (hopefully). I’ve been wanting an S for years and know there’s more available units on the west coast. I’ve done the drive the past two years with marathon driving with a co-driver from CA to MS. It’s a doable drive, but I’ve never owned or driven a Tesla and have only a little idea what it’ll be like supercharging over that distance.I will definitely keep everyone posted.
I'm not averse to driving a long distance. But this is a 48 hour via supercharger drive from Vegas to South Carolina. So, I have to weight the pros and cons. One good thing is I can see my daughter in Dallas on the way home. But, it's a good four days out of my work week
Definitely fly out and drive. Time to learn the new P85, enjoy and understand the charging strengths and weaknesses.
PM if you want some range/super charging%/road trip tips. Best of luck regardless.
I appreciate everyone's feedback and advice. I had a long day and still didn't get around to supplying the needed information to Tesla. Things like my drivers license, insurance, etc. I'm tackling that right now.
To answer mrbulk. Yes, this is purchased from Tesla and has the warranty. Otherwise I would not have been so trusting. Although I hear about numerous horror stories about the CPO process I do believe if approached correctly that Tesla will do what's right. Hence, that is way I am asking about the fly and drive.
If the car is ready to pickup Monday I will probably fly out and then drive her home. If, the process becomes unpredictable I may then opt for the shipment.
Ooooh. What did you get now?We've sold four Teslas online. For three of them, the buyers flew out to Colorado and drove back to Nevada, Michigan and Minnesota, respectively. For the fourth one, we drove it out to Nevada and flew back.
If I were buying a used one online, I think I would prefer to fly out and drive back vs. having it shipped. If buying new inventory from Tesla, it could work either way. We actually tried this last week and had plans on picking it up in another state. Plans changed and then they ended up shipping it. There were some logistical issues so we didn't get it on Saturday but will be picking it up today.
I’m half joking and half serious as I ask this. Are you saying it’s possible to read the car’s manual while autopilot helps you steer as you traverse 100s of miles of straight boring highway?drive it ... it is a great way to get to know everything about your new car
I purchase a CPO from Tesla. car located in San Diego I was in Salt Lake City Utah. Flew to San Diego one way for $80 arrived at 1p.m. got to the pickup center by 1:30. finished by 2p.m. started to drive home, made serval pit stop to charge. A regular car would take 11-12 hours. took about 15-16 hours to get home benefit was that every time i stop to charge i was able to nap for about 30-40mins. I would do this again any day.
Just shipped my Tesla from Virginia to California...$1200
I went with Montway.

That's a good question and I'm not 100% certain. We've received the state tax credit back on 7 EVs so far (and will get another next year) but we purchased all of those in Colorado. For the one we were considering out-of-state delivery, we were going to do a "paper" delivery and purchase it in Colorado but pick it up in another state. Tesla must've cracked down on that and said they needed to ship it to us instead. Sorry I can't say for sure but you could email your county DMV and ask for clarification. It ended a couple of years ago, but you used to be able to easily get the tax credit on used cars imported from other states!Hello MorrisonHiker-
Quick question - I'm also in Colorado, and I'd like to take advantage of the state rebate on a new inventory car. Do you know how out-of-state pick up might affect CO state rebates? Thanks! (Sorry to derail the used-out-of-state thread...)
