Cool, should the message still say 24 hours?
More feature requests:
1. Can sort column be remembered? I'm always sorting by price, low to high.
2. For premium buyers can the preferred number of rows be remembered?

Thanks!

It should be gone if you reload the page. I'll look into the other two things.

Hi Dan,

Just want to be real clear on this. When I filter on "Clean Title History (Used Only)" (and nothing else), fully a third of the inventory listed on EV-CPO is screened out. Can you tell me what the specific criteria are used to merit Clean Title History? Title="not salvage"? Title="no accident on record"? Something else? I've been a subscribed member for a couple of months, only just noticed this filter today, and am kind of appalled at how much of Tesla's used inventory has a sketchy title status. Jeez. Great tool, BTW.

Thanks for your subscription. I just added the "Clean Title History" filter criteria yesterday (see my post above).

Right now, there are only three values for "Title Status" for used cars:

• Clean -- This means a "clean" Carfax with no reported accidents or major repairs
• Previous Repairs -- This means that the Carfax indicates some level of repairs from an accident
• n/a -- there is no title status provided.

Tesla does not sell salvage title cars, so you can assume that no cars listed are of 'salvage' quality.

If you don't filter on "Clean Title History" and add the "Vehicle History" column, you can see and sort on which used cars are "Clean" and "Prev Repairs".

I just bought a cpo that had previous repair listed on the tesla used site and when the delivery specialist sent me carfax, it was clean. For what it's worth

Ah, an excellent tool is now even better. Thanks!

With the new Tesla website changes for preowned vehicles, I’ve noticed that some of the cars that are listed with a limited 2 year warranty on ev-cpo don’t mention anything about a warranty on Tesla’s website. What are your thoughts about this?

 

[EV-CPO]

Can you provide a few VINs as an example?

It always helps me to know what you are looking at, so I don't have to go searching for it. Thanks.

 

[EV-CPO]

Ok, looks like a bug/oversight with Tesla website. The Warranty indicator in the code for cars with the 2-year warranty is:

"PreownedWarrantyEligibility":"Pre-Owned Extended"

If you look at the one Model X with the 2-year warranty, it is displayed on Tesla's website for that car. It just doesn't show up for any Model Ss with that same code. So I call this a Tesla website bug, or if not a bug, then at a minimum, obfuscating the warranty for 2-year warranty Model Ss.

Tesla sells their used cars with one warranty or the other, they've said nothing about selling cars without any warranty at all.

 

[wordless888]

Here’s one without any mention of a limited 2 year warranty on their website:

2013 Model S | Tesla

Here’s one with a clear explanation of the 2 year warranty:

2015 Model S | Tesla

I figured it’s probably a bug or error on their end, but it seems like you never know nowadays...

 

[EV-CPO]

Ok, it's not a bug, it's a feature!

There's another indicator in the code:

"DisplayWarranty":false

If that's 'false' it shows no warranty info. If it's true, it does.

I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader as to why Tesla intentionally hides the 2-year warranty for some cars, and not for others.

 

[EV-CPO]

Actually, on a real quick review (but requires more research) it appears as if cars that do not have a clean title (i.e. "previously repaired") do NOT display the warranty, while "clean" vehicle history cars do.

Hmm... does this mean that "Previously Repaired" cars outside of the four year warranty window get no warranty?

edit: No, that doesn't hold.. here's a 2-year warranty car, with clean title history, but still no warranty info displayed:

2014 Model S | Tesla

So it remains a mystery.

fyi: Still says 24 hours.

 

[wordless888]

So weird. I appreciate the information!

oops! I didn't want to change the text until I pushed the last set of changes. It's changed now.

2015 Model S | Tesla
When I search for Model S with rear facing seats, the above vehicle doesn't show up.

It shows up for me when searching used Model S. You might have some other criteria /filters active that are filtering it out.

Odd, it started working this morning.

Thanks for your comments and you're welcome!! Congrats on your new car.

BTW, is your "LostWages" handle a Leisure Suit Larry reference? LOL
