Sorry, but that holds even less water IMO. There’s already a ton of CPO inventory. More being “dumped” Monday won’t change anything. No manufacturerer is interested in putting sh*tty cars out there under the CPO moniker. While pricing as of late has been ludicrous (no pun intended), they want people to be impressed and pass on the word/referals.
Apparently I lucked out, not only with my actual car, but with my OA and process across the board. I was in constant contact with her and she gave me much insight into the CPO program. Goal is to deliver as close as possible, within as much reason as possible, a “new” car. Any car that was smoked in, airbags deployed, major panel repair, etc., does not get considered for CPO.
I asked for, and received, the refurb work order, but that’s not a guarantee. Other people have asked and not received it. A couple others did. I can see why they wouldn’t want to provide it. Most may nit pick it to death. For me, it added some stress as I’m very picky. For example, mine listed “Crease in hood.” And I freaked out a bit as I assumed it was in a fender bender. After talking to my OA, she said that’s the typical “damage” most owners do to the hood from incorrectly closing the frunk. Said that’s on 80% of the refurb work orders and is fairly minor vs a real crease from an accident or other drop damage.
I still stand by my previous response. They may reduce what’s covered after people see the car in person, but they will still strive to deliver a pristine car. So for those with impending deliveries, I wouldn’t over stress about this. Normal stress is with the sight unseen process is normal.
Time will naturally tell regarding CPO changes.
It's amusing how many of you took what I said and went in a weird direction in your own brains.
I did not say that Tesla was going to start selling shiiittty cars. I simply said that Tesla is not going to be dumping money into refurbishing cars any longer, they are going to wholesale the cars that don't pass their muster and sell the ones that are good as CPO's. Tesla is spending so much money vendoring out repairs that it's not cost effective any longe. The way things get twisted on this site is so amusing.
