Not true. For MOST people CPO implies certain cosmetic refurbishments. This is how it is across the auto industry. The way Tesla sells cars w/o you even being able to see them in person in most cases this is a recipe for disaster if everyone is calling them CPO. The average consumer will be tricked into thinking that their car is going to be an actual CPO when it's not. Then, after they plunk down their $70k, they're told by Tesla that their car is used and they don't do any cosmetic repairs or refurbishments all because a handful of people on an internet forum insisted in calling them "CPO" to save a few key strokes. This is why some people here "have a fit" because it's incorrect and it could cost someone big time. People come here to research and find correct information, not misinformation.
So you think MOST people care more about the cosmetic standard than the extended warranty? People should feel free to chime in, but I think warranty is way more important. If purchased separately a warranty is $4k+ and can save an owner many thousands of dollars and give peace of mind. If cosmetics are important, you can always call and ask for more photos.
