NO MORE USED TESLAS

[Jae001]

Did anyone notice Tesla pulled all their used cars from their site today? Something is up!!

For me, the S and 3 are gone but there are still plenty of X.

 

[GHammer]

This has happened a couple of times in the past. They come back.

 

[Jae001]

Strange?? Old Elon is up to his pricing tricks again.

 

[ucmndd]

They do this all the time.

 

[AMPd]

They do this all the time.

Yep. It’s usually followed by a huge dump of inventory

 

[Jae001]

Yup, you are right. They changed the site a bit. I noticed on the non autopilot cars it now says, "No Driver's Assistance". That is new.

 

[Jae001]

Lots of 100D now too. I have never seen those listed before on the used site.

 

[whitex]

They want to push as many new cars as possible for end of quarter?

Well there’s actually a fair number of 60s and 85s under $40k for the first time in a few months. I’ve been following EV-CPO for years while dreaming about getting a Tesla, and for most of that time there have been a glut of first-generation Model S cars on the lower end of the price spectrum. After the used inventory went from >1000 to ~100-200 in May/June, it seemed that things were weighted towards newer cars, and the average price jumped by $8000. I’ve got several friends that suddenly started wanted a used Tesla Model S after I brought mine home (imagine!) and were looking at a similar price point, around $40k, so I’ve been keeping an eye on the lower end of the used inventory on EV-CPO.

Wow, a ton of facelift 60Ds now. Not used to seeing those in such quantity. Those are all software-limited 75Ds, right?

Yes.

It’s now exactly 3 years since these were released so I imagine lease returns and owner upgrades are coming in.

Aren't all facelifted 60Ds essentially 75Ds with a software limited battery?

Yes, but don't expect to get the full EPA rated range of a 75D if you get one and upgrade. Battery degradation has been going on for these cars, even though it may not show up in the 60D configuration. 75D rated range was 259 miles. When upgraded to a 75D from 60D a couple of years ago, mine only went to 249 miles RR and now stands at 241 miles. That's about the best you will likely get if upgrading a used 60D, and perhaps worse.

I just find it surprising that when Tesla sells 60D cars, they don't just software unlock and sell for a slightly higher price, as it is a sunk cost for them, and results in extra revenue.

Good advice in general, but the degradation definitely shows up in the software locked configuration. My “60” lost a good 15 miles of range before I paid for the 75 upgrade (which is now down about 25 from new).

How much was that 75 upgrade??

 

[whitex]

How much was that 75 upgrade??

IIRC prices ranged between $9K and $2K, depending when you purchased the upgrade.

 

[Jae001]

Not cheap but nothing with Tesla is. I would pay 5K to have my 75 uncorked but it is not available for my car.

 

[ucmndd]

How much was that 75 upgrade??

It was like $9k when I bought the car, which was ridiculous. They dropped it to $2k not long after they stopped selling the 60, which is when I bought.
