CPO Question - Should I be Happy or not?

1) yes but unfortunately nothing you can do, if you want a car as unique as a Tesla you just have to suck it up and accept it. CPO is a gamble, you may get one that was already in very good condition with nothing wrong, or you might get one that was problematic to start with
2) their so-called CPO process is in my opinion a complete joke, they only fix the visually obvious things that are wrong, they do nothing to fix internal issues until/unless you complain about them. I was able to obtain my CPO checklist and supposedly everything was checked off, but it was obviously rubber-stamped because within hours of driving off the lot I found 5-6 things that didn't work that the checklist supposedly had passed.
3) no, I know it's annoying but certainly not to this degree

 

I think purchasing a Tesla CPO is still buying a used car. Lots of issues on the forum, but my two year old CPO has only been at the service center twice. The past fifteen months only put in electricity, washer fluid and two new tires. Least maintenance (and most fun) car I have ever owned. By a huge measure!

 

Tesla takes in a lot of trades that do not end up being sold as CPOs. They just wholesale those out, and that is where the private dealers get most of their stock. Too much mileage, lack of commonly desired options, etc. will often keep a car from being sold as CPO. You just don't see those because Tesla gets rid of them.

The last CPO we bought had a large list of repairs (and upgrades, since it was an early VIN) before we took delivery. Still, there are five minor issues waiting to be addressed. As other posters have said, what you mostly get is the warranty -- assurance that problems will be fixed at no cost to you.

 

I purchased a CPO p85 from Tesla in October of 2017. As this car was over $100,000 when it was new, I expected it to be fairly problem free. In the 3 1/2 months I have driven this car, I have had 2 issues solved by rangers at my work, and two issues that needed to be addressed at the service center. While these problems have been somewhat annoying, they have been handled quickly and courteously. AND, at no cost I am very happy with my CPO purchase.
