I have a confirmed delivery date on Mar 2 at Brent Cross. Today I have received valuation on my car, but it's not that great, so I want to see if I can sell it for more elsewhere before I either accept or decline the Tesla trading offer. Whilst this is going on, my account page isn't showing my VIN. The Tesla team assured me over email that my delivery date isn't at risk whilst the trade in valuation is going on.
Does anyone know if the trade in valuation is guaranteed? Or will Tesla go over every little dent/scratch to knock it down on the date of the delivery? As the trade in value is already lower than what I'm seeing elsewhere, I wouldn't want to end up even lower. Let alone the experience of getting my Tesla being a little spoiled by negotiating over the value of the old car.
Next to that, the trade in offer is valid until 4/10/22. Is that a UK date or a US date format? I can hardly believe they'd hold the trade in offer until October, but 10 Apr is more likely. Don't know.
Anyway, I need to sort it out before I pick up the new car, so wonder what happens in I accept the trade in and then find another offer, or if I should just leave the trade in offer there and only accept / decline once I have made a final decision. The thing is that I will need to pay towards the new car with the trade in value in or out ...
That's a lot of questions. If you have some suggestions, please let me know.
