Tesla CPO Pricing

I’m thinking of selling my car, I might get back more than I paid and in a few months I’ll be able to buy one similar cheaper when stock floods back onto the market, all with fresh warranties

That’s not what Tesla intended I’m sure.
 
I think what we're seeing is high turnover in the sales organization/management. Every several months, we see a new strategy different from the previous ones, with very little logic we, as outsiders, can tease out. I'm sure internally whatever they're doing can be justified. But from an external point of view, it just seems so random or illogical.

In other words, don't try and figure it out. Because if/when you do, it's bound to change in a month.

You just described the entire history of the CPO program :)

The only thing they have been consistent about is listing hundreds of cars and a few months later remove hundreds of cars. I feel their #1 priority with the CPO Program at the moment is to not necessarily sell cars but try to control the market and push people to buy new...

In the meantime, with a rapidly depreciating CPO inventory, part of which is unlisted, they are losing money so this strategy can't be sustainable in the long term.

If the past is any indicator, I predict hundreds of CPO cars will be posted between now and June.
 
You are not correct. Trade in cars and lease returns are being used for loaners. Also they acquire them so cheap that they won’t lose money

They are (or were) trimming $100-$300 off new inventory cars which are no longer current models, I see it less on the older cars.

As an example this is how they reduced the price on a new inventory 90D Facelift - in a month they dropped it by 3.5k but in lots of small chunks - no idea why they don't just bite the bullet and do it in one go.

How did you get that information? Also, can you do that for CPO cars?

I have my own CPO and new inventory site. I’ve been tracking uk cars for a year, US cars only for a couple of weeks but it does include both new and used CPO. CPO can be more erratic, prices can go up and down by quite large amounts almost as if someone typed in an incorrect figure.

They're tripling down. Another 2014 P85D popped up priced at over $100K. This is Ludicrous, and it doesn't even include that option!
Used Inventory | Tesla

Check out the price history for this P85D!!!! You could have had it for $87,100 on 2/21, but it aged like a fine wine in Tesla's CPO warehouse, increasing in value to $100K+ by 3/1. The last few days the wine has begun to lose its taste, dropping to $96.8K. Please help me.

Spoke with Tesla and was told a lot of the pricing is formula driven and also based on demand. Winter is slower and then it picks up in spring/summer.

That must be some demand formula where prices go up and down by tens of thousands for the same car in a matter of days :)

By "it picks up in spring/summer" do they mean we will see even crazier gyrations of inventory and pricing? :p
