EV-CPO.com CPO Consolidator support thread

Hi Hank, are the price changes still being tracked? I noticed some vehicles today with lower prices, but no history of changes (however cars with changes from January and December are still displaying the price history).

Another feature idea: add additional email notification. I would like to receive my alerts at two addresses. I currently have a forward setup, but I would like to cut out any delays

Yes, price changes are tracked -- can you give me one or two examples and I'll investigate?

I'll look into adding a second email address next time I open up that part of the code.

I don't think it's price changes. I think there are some cars that were taken off the page and then re-listed at the same (most recent) price. I saw a P85+ in the $50k's with a date from a month prior and no "new price" indicator. But I'm pretty sure it was just an old listing that popped back up. I suppose there's some sort of balancing act between retaining the original listing date and recognizing cars that are re-listed after a few weeks off the list.

I am not sure of the VINs as now they are all gone. I remember seeing an S85 drop from something like $58K to $50 yesterday or the day before, but their was no price change delta symbol. I saw a few others with recent changes with no delta. I did see deltas beside cars that had price changes a couple months ago.

PS: I love the recent updates. Alert name in email subject is very handy! Keep up the good work.

I'm brand new to this forum and relatively new to watching the CPO vehicles-- I noticed that the number of cars was reduced dramatically over the last couple days-- from about 300 to about 120. Is this a normal variation? I'd guess that Tesla does remove then re-list cars, but a swing of 200 cars seems rather wild. Thoughts?

 

[HankLloydRight]

It's not the first time.
As long as I make sure Ev-CPO matches what's on the TM site, all we can do is wait and post wild speculations.

I concur

After watching this thing more than daily there is a huge drop off of cars. Not sure what is up this weekend I will see if I notice any cars missing that are on the teslamotors.com site.

I did notice that the car count changed through the day but never by more than about 40.

Am in the process of subscribing but before I do I'm curious (hope this isnt a DAQ) why I only see S60,S85 and P85 listed and no 85D which is what I am searching for? Thanks.

A few days ago Tesla removed about 75% of the CPO inventory. So what is displayed is what is currently available. If you subscribe to History also, you can see most models have been listed previously.

Tesla says over the next few months the CPO inventory will be replenished.

Leasing began in 2013 so if three year leases are up in earnest starting this spring, CPO inventory should rise. But where did those few hundred go in one fell swoop? Especially since they were nation-wide? Taken off the web but kept "closer" on a shared database within Tesla sales sites is my guess. Lets those walking in ask a sales rep "so, what do you have in inventory that I might like?"

All the CPOs removed on 2/17 and 2/18 are no longer for sale. They have been re-purposed as permanent service loaners. They are not kept for walk-in sales. The problem was previously, all demo, loaner and display cars were new, and always for sale at a discount. People kept buying up these Inventory cars, leaving the service centers without loaners, and they'd have to turn to Enterprise to rent ICE cars, which is a bad policy all around.

I hope that doesn't mean that that window of opportunity to score a great AP enabled car at a discount has closed...

Not at all, in fact I think it increases the chances once they have a chance to replenish the CPO stock with more (recent) customer trade-ins. Just takes some patience for a few months. Just watch EV-CPO.com for more AP cars.

Was there any correlation in the cars removed? Wasn't early vins I saw. Dual motors? Lesser equipped? No p's?

Take a look at this post: What happened to the cpo inventory? - Page 13

 

[Ampontour]

Aaaaaand... CPO's are back! Almost 400 as of now.

Most are Inventory, and not CPO. Many 90D and P90D - and lots of high Vins - built in January maybe?

Hank mentioned it earlier in the thread. Sounds like CPOs went into the loaner fleet and new builds are now inventory, ready to sell as new.

 

[HankLloydRight]

There are three current threads on CPOs -- so let's keep it all in one place for now:

What happened to the cpo inventory?

thanks.

Hi Hank, any idea why this car shows up on the official Tesla CPO site, but does not show up on ev-cpo? Thanks!

It was a previously "hidden" car that is now "unhidden", but EV-CPO only re-validates all the hidden cars once per day. So it should show up tomorrow in the regular list.

 

[Zaphod]

I think I noticed it not showing up on ev-cpo for at least a few days now, definitely more than one for sure. Not a big deal, but something I just noticed as I've been looking at both sites more frequently now.
