Tesla Model S CPO Website - Now Live

[Skotty]

I tend to hold on to my cars anywhere from 2 to 15 years. I'm buying a CPO Model S soon, and will likely keep it for about 10 years, maybe longer.

As for warranty, I generally like the warranty to last until the car is paid off, but after that I don't care. However, I do have some concern with the uniqueness of a Tesla and wonder if out of warranty service and repairs will be too difficult and costly. I hope not, but that is a serious ongoing concern of mine.

buying experience

I'm new here and debating whether to get a lower end but new model S or go the CPO route. And I'm wondering about the buying process. With CPO, you're basically buying the car unseen and you don't really get to test drive. Is everyone just so confident in the few stock pictures and list of options described on the CPO website? Thanks for your input.

You have 72 hours to transfer your deposit to another CPO car, if you choose not to buy. I wanted to see and drive the car before put down the deposit, until, I found the car, I would have ordered new, with only 2500 miles and $18,000 less than new. I put the deposit down, as soon as the wife said yes, the best deals don't last.

If you have the money to get a new car, that is the best choice. Nothing beats a new car warranty. I bought a stripped down CPO car rather than continue to drive a 3 year old LEAF. For me that was a major upgrade.

When I get ready to upgrade this car it will be a new one all the way.

Can you clarify your post for me. Are you saying that you have 72 hours to transfer your dep from the time you hit the buy button or 72 hours from the time your car arrives at your local SC?

I would assume when you choose not to buy the car. I took them 10 days from placing the deposit to get my car ready.

I thought that's what you meant. It's 72 hours from the time you place your order, not after your car arrives. And just to make sure I asked. This is the response I got from my DS.


That’s correct – 72 hours after you’ve *placed the deposit* your order will confirm and becomes non-refundable.


And you got lucky with the 10 days, I got mine 40 days after I ordered.

How can you default before the car is ready?

I am sure there are many ways....changing your mind is one of them.

For me I wanted to switch to a more expensive car and I was told that I would lose my dep if I did because the car I ordered was in route.

People probably have funny stories when they buy cars that were owned by somebody else before.
Here is mine.
Yesterday I was looking for my daughter's water battle under the passenger's seat and found following easter egg from the previous owner - picture attached.
It is interesting that service center people did not find it as a result of the car inspection - it is definitely

hard to see under the seat.
I don't mind of course Something to celebrate with a purchase of great car

Nice. I lost my ID badge once in a loaner and suspected that's where it was. Told the service center, but they said they looked and didn't find it. Five weeks later, I get a call that they found my badge when cleaning the car.

Before I bought MS ...I was driving a Camry and it did not have blue tooth feature in it. So I bought a blue tooth headset and then I lost 2 of them consecutively. On the day when I took delivery of Model S ...I sold my Camry to a private party and then when cleaning the carpet found both the headsets. Now I have three blue tooth headsets and an amazing car with excellent blue tooth.

:tongue:

I had the CPO sales advisor send photos, but admittedly they were not high rez. There was an element of trust. BTW I was supper detailed in the delivery of the car. In fact, I did 2 separate inspections, once before delivery while the SC was working on a few items and one at delivery. I went over every inch of that car and had them list out all the details. I took delivery with a punch list of items to replace. Tesla basically agreed to all of the major items, with a few small normal wear items left. They are will waiting on a few replacement parts to come in. I even took a flashlight to delivery to inspect the frunk, trunk and rear seats since they are black and hard to see. I was told that I was the first person to every do that. Overall I was very pleased with what Tesla did to the car. New DU, New rims and tires, new yacht floor (waiting for part), new third row seats (still waiting for part), new B and C pillars, new floor mats, frunk net.

Thanks Benjamin. This works like a charm!

Noticed that my "plan B" car, a 2014 S85 VIN 45,xxx with 20k miles, has disappeared. I went with a lower miles S60 for $8500 less but I've been keeping an eye on the other one. The CPOs do seem to be selling pretty well, especially on the lower end of the price range.

I suppose this news may be old hat for most here, but I was surprised:

I've been mulling over how to get to Denver to pick up the CPO S, and to transport my LEAF as well, to trade it in if I am unable to sell it (no takers so far, given my remote location). It is 330 miles across the mountains to get to Denver and I've been keeping an eye on the weather (lovely, lately) because doing it in snow is not fun. So, not a trivial trip to arrange.

Got a call yesterday from my Delivery Specialist to let me know that the car has been prepped and is going to be loaded for transport to Denver soon. Then he asked me if I would like the car delivered to my home! He said that they do this for anyone over a certain distance (I think he said 160 miles, but I may not remember that right) and that nearly all the cars in my area are delivered this way. I mentioned the trade-in and he said that they will pick it up as well. The paperwork will be done by mail in advance and I won't get the detailed orientation at the Service Center, but it sure will save me a lot of hassle to have the car brought to my side of the state and my trade-in picked up.

I had no idea that Tesla does this for CPO deliveries, so it was very good news for me.

Is the delivery to your home included in the standard destination/transport fee for a CPO? What a relief that must be to not have to get the Leaf to Denver in the winter no less. Congrats on the upgrade!

Apparently it is an included service; the DS implied that there was no extra charge, although I didn't ask the question. I was flabbergasted that there is such a thing as CPO delivery and trade-in pickup.

Good to hear that Tesla is going to deliver the car to your house. Make sure you post a picture of that car when it gets there. It should be a fun day.
