Tesla Motors Club
I killed Jimmy Hoffa.
Just kidding. I started the process of trading up to a 2015 P85D.
Found the car I wanted based on mileage and features, and clicked the Request Photos button on 3/29.
Got 33 1600x1200-resolution photos and studied them looking for any issues.
Nothing major appeared to be evident.
Contacted Tesla about it on 3/30, within an hour or so (on a Saturday) got a reply with the CarFax.
CarFax was clean, and shows it to be a one-owner, personal lease car in Texas near Houston.
Shipping from Texas to Baltimore = $2000.
Thought about stuff, crunched numbers, watched the asking price drop a couple hundred bucks each day.
Contacted my credit union about the car and gave them the info.
Clicked the button to put deposit onto my Amex card on 4/3.
Sent a few emails back and forth during this time about trade-in, etc.
Contacted insurance company on 4/12 and uploaded the insurance info.
Completed all 6/6 tasks on the Tesla site yesterday 4/13.

Surprised a Texas car would have the Subzero package. Might never have been used. I will definitely give it some use in PA.
