Effect of dealer purchase on warranty renewal

[JKBRAND]

I searched for this question, but didn't get a hit.

I had pretty much eliminated the idea of buying from a dealer especially as their cars neared or exceeded 50K miles. I wonder if my perception was wrong about the effect of buying from a dealer.

I understand one no longer needs to request the seller renew a warranty; the new owner now can. Is there any restriction in buying from a dealer whose car still has a warranty, albeit time-limited? If there were 6 months left on the warranty on a dealer sale, does Tesla policy afford a buyer the option to extend????

The original factory warranty will always apply. But if the car is sold through a dealer, it permanently loses the ability to have the ESA applied, even after the sale by a private buyer.

Now will Tesla know that the car was sold through a used car dealer? What appears on the carfax? Did the dealer take on a dealer title to the car (likely), or are they holding the original signed title from the seller?

I think all your questions are addressed here: Vehicle Warranty | Model S and Model X

Can anyone purchase an Extended Service Agreement?
Owners (excluding 3rd party dealers and vehicles purchased from a 3rd party dealer) with Model S or X vehicles subject to the New Vehicle Limited Warranty which are still within the eligible purchase period can purchase the Extended Service Agreement.

Same is true for CPO warranties. They transfer from private party to private party, but once a dealer owns the car, no more CPO warranty.

If I have a CPO car now purchased from Tesla, Is it possible to purchase an extended warranty once my 4 years is almost up?

Nope. The CPO warranty is the end of the line.
