I've seen this mentioned a few times the last couple of days, and I feel like I need to respond.
Everyone looking for the most amazing inventory deals, please realize that no matter how they are found, they last only minutes before someone sees it and buys the car.
Besides EV-CPO and the other sites, there are A LOT of independent people constantly searching Tesla's site on their own for a good deal, either manually by plugging in zip codes, or macros, or their own API scripts (I've helped a few people do this for their own use). So the actual window of time these deals are available to be captured by any website is very, very short. And it's not possible to scan every zip code and every car on Tesla's site every four minutes to capture every possible deal or listed car (well, you can try, but Tesla will actively ban your IP address if you try too hard).
I'm sure there are lots of amazing deals that EV-CPO caught based solely on good timing, that other sites didn't catch before they were snatched up and delisted. Will EV-CPO miss a few good deals because they're listed so briefly? Sure. But so will every other site out there. For the inventory cars with the biggest discounts, all the sites use the same API and access methods, so really, it just gets down to which site (or other independent users or their scripts) found the good deals first.
And I know there have been lots of amazing deals people have gotten that no site had time to catch.
Thank you for such a great tool. Timing, as you state, is essential In finding a good deal. After loosing out on 3 cars because of slow response getting photos, I finally scored a win last March. I took delivery of my 2015 S85D with only 12,004 miles on April 3, 2019. The filters allowed me to search for the options I was looking for at a great price!
My sincere gratitude to EV-CPO.com.
