[Site no longer works]Got tired of using Tesla.com and EV-CPO to search inventory, so I built my own

Hey @garey! Super nice site, well done! I work as technology but on the SRE/DevOps/admin side of things. I'm curious the tech stack you're using.

Why does the result always seems to be from one state, instead of whole country?

Netlify, gatsby, react. Statically hosted front end and a node lambda for backend. No database.

Tesla recently changed some things about their API. Particularly how much they lean on locale for results. I have updated the way tezz.la communicates to work more effectively with those changes.

Yep, looks like he has moved on. It shows a single Model 3 used in the US(in NY), but there are 8 on EV-CPO, and only 45 Model S's(all in NY, CT) whereas EV-CPO has 254 in the US.


Maybe their recent change to location broke his search. I do not see where I have limited the search to the Eastern Seaboard.

Things should be working well again. Sorry for the delay.

Concur. For the past few days has sometimes shown ZERO cars available.

Pitty really--it's a MUCH better site than the others. Clean, user- and mobile-friendly, logical design and so forth. Really a great piece of work!

We’re back, sorry for the delay!

 

[garey]

I don't think this the OP is still working on this site. I've had much more luck with ev-cpo in finding a good S.

It’s working again . Sorry for the delay.

Hmmm I know you said you and EV-CPO use differnt methods, but currently, Tezz-la is only showing 104 used Model S, and they are all 2014, 2015,2016 model years.

EV-CPO has 265 used Model S shown, including from years 2018 and 2019
2019 Model S | Tesla

and
2018 Model S | Tesla


One feature I would love to be able to Filter by is the 4 year warranty...at these prices, I would not buy unless I knew I had at least 4 years fo coverage.

Those vehicles are available by selecting a state from the top dropdown. I will be removing the state dropdown in a future optimization, but for now, you would need to choose a state to see some results that are state specific.

Thanks for the info, I was wondering what the State drop down was for, since I received results from Multiple states.

Not sure if you're aware but the website started giving 500 error on the search section this morning (it was working fine last night)

This was a temporary outage with Tesla’s service. Cleared up now. Thanks for keeping tabs!

Your site hasn't been working for a few days now . . .

Concur, which is a shame as it's the best site available too! Clean, concise design, an excellent usability on a small screen. Well done! (Tesla should just hire you for their web team.)

Same here, I keep getting "Request failed with status code 502" like the site alot.
