+1 - Let's be realistic. Both CPO and inventory are, in reality, used cars. We split hairs over the inventory category, calling it "legally new" because of the terms of the Federal tax credit. But in reality, it's used, too.That said, an inventory car is certainly not a "new" car, as it has likely been driven by dozens (possibly over 100) different people outside of Tesla and would have hundreds of miles on it, likely over 1,000 miles. And that is why it is sold at a discounted price from the list price for a new Tesla.
Yes the car would have been "new to the buyer", but no one would seriously consider it "new".
