Tesla Model S CPO Website - Now Live

[FlatSix911]

Huh.. this is a head scratcher! A fully loaded CPO P90DL just got listed for $134,400.Model S P90D 099247 | Tesla Motors
An identically spec'd NEW car, after the Federal Tax Credit (but no state credits) is: $133,250. Plus you can add in a $1k referral credit bringing it even lower.
I wonder who at TM thinks they can sell a CPO car, with no tax credit, for more than a new car, and about a one-month wait.

Interesting ... perhaps it should have been listed as an Inventory car with only 158 miles?

I am driving this around at the moment as a loaner 60 kWh Model S P49511 | Tesla Motors and was so smitten with the autopilot I inquired about trade-in and purchase. I hadn't seen price info yet but last night this was added to the tesla website along with a ton of other inventory cars.

$74.6k for a 14 month old S60 strikes me as pretty rich - I thought perhaps trading in my 2013 S85 for this one wouldn't be a huge difference but it's looking like it will be (unless they really surprise me on the upside with their trade-in offer... not likely!)

Anyway, I was under the impression they used a 1% a month + $1/mile formula off the original sticker with these inventory cars. Am I misremembering, or did that formula get the heave-ho at some point? I haven't really been paying attention to the used-Tesla market.

Anyway, it's a nice car. I can say the fit/finish improvements of newer models (even 'newer' as in late 2014) is noticeable. And that autopilot... man o man.

I think some of the pricing they have makes absolutely no sense because they are trying to come up with some strange equation to determine the price. They should give more weight to the cost of a new car when calculating the cost of a CPO car. I'm not sure who in their right mind would want to pay $75K for a used S60 when you can get a brand new RWD S70 for that with $6,000 in options included.

They have a really strange way of trying to sell CPO cars. Pricing is all over the place and some of the asking prices make no sense. Then they haphazardly rotate their inventory in and out of their Web site making it harder for customers to find a car with the options and color combinations they want.

I wish they'd price these cars reasonably and list the entire inventory so customers can find the cars they want and stop with this silly musical chairs of their inventory.

Even then who in their right mind, looking to spend ~ $130K on a new car, would want to pay almost as much to buy a used car? Especially if they are picky about the colors and options... That listing just does not make sense.

Maybe they feel a "premium" is justified since this is the only P90D available at the moment. Some rich guy's instant gratification Christmas gift to himself. No waiting required.

Except they have very many P90Ds available for sale if you ask to look at their inventory...

Thx to all who responded to my question regarding handling everything online. I'm based in CA and the rules are slightly different depending on the state. I hear the DMV in CA still demands wet signatures, but I guess that's not accurate or Tesla has just told them to shove it (go Tesla!).

My situation is somewhat unique in that I will be out of the country for a while and I want to be able to jump on the right deal on the right car when I see it without worrying about FedExing docs all over the world. I would then organize my travel to fly in and pick up the car or ask my wife to pick it up. Or maybe they'll just hold on to it for me until I can get there as long as it's before 12/31/15 as I'm sure they want to get the car off their books before year end.

Anyway thx for your input!

Yup. Not that difficult. The Lexus dealership we both my mother's car from even had a canned form and a notary present. They filled that our and made her sign it in the presence of the notary with her right hand (she is left-handed and it was broken in a cast). Then they had me sign everything else as her PoA. Amazingly, they had MUCH less paperwork to sign than the VW dealership a year later and, while they were okay with the PoA, they made me go get our durable POA out of the safe deposit box since they didn't have anything there to provide such services.

Remember that the Inventory cars are eligible for the State and Federal Rebates ... then it become a decent deal.

My delivery specialist was very flexible on my delivery date, even after the car arriving to the service center. And if you're getting a car that has the travel across the country, that can add up to 3 weeks depending on several factors including available room on trucks, and things of the sort. If you are in touch with an ownership advisor, that person might be your best resource to gauge whether all of your schedules align and what paperwork might need a hand signature.

Not sure when this was added, but seems a bit odd to me. 2013 P85+ with 41k miles and apparently it's never been titled (lists both a before and after EV incentive price--for reference, the after incentive price is $67,520). It's also fully loaded except for the panoramic roof. I'm guessing this was a company car more so than a demo or loaner.

tenstring - that is a demo/loaner with a lot of miles. There are a lot of those being released for sale, it appears. With a very low price, they are going to count that sale among the quarter's "deliveries". Good price too. You just need to list out the Inv only cars on ev-cpo.com and see that many have 10-15k miles. But I am sure some have racked up more and may not be listed. Maybe it is one that did the cross-country trips or was one that was passed around from sales office to sales office. On the east coast, there are a number of California plated Teslas at the store near me. Some may be "company cars" where a sales manager of a store may have kept it for their own use for the past year or longer. I suppose the San Francisco Inventory selection are company cars used by employees. They may be rotating in new ones so that they can drive the latest with autopilot and D.

From what i understand inventory cars warranty doesnt reset to additional 50k miles, only years get reset ie, this car only has 9k left on warranty and full 4 years from day someone will buy it. Atleast thats what i was told when i bought my inv car last month with 4k miles. I was told warranty wil be till 50k not 54k miles. So anyone buying this pls confirm first.

My Inventory car did a total reset for miles and years. I bought my car with 8k miles on it, and my warranty (according to what I was told and have in writing (email)) goes to 58k miles and 4 years for my date of purchase.

This might be different with a car with 40k miles on it.

Same here Hank...I bought my car at 6000 miles and my warranty extends to 56000 miles. I got confirmation email before I picked my car.

 

[No2DinosaurFuel]

Quite a bit of cars at the low $60K. Seems like tesla finally lowering their price. Still expensive IMO, but in the right direction. Lets keep up the price drop!

 

[MsElectric]

If anyone is looking for a P85D, call your local Tesla Gallery. We were just presented with a whole bunch of inventory P85D vehicles for consideration but sadly none matched out color choices and option preferences so we are continuing to look around and they are about to send us another list of available vehicles.

They are offering inventory cars with around $10-$15K in discounts and this is not including the about $10K in tax incentives/rebates so we are looking at a total discount of about $20-$25K for many inventory P85D vehicles available for purchase. If you are considering a private party or CPO P85D, don't consider one unless you receive at least $20-$25K of a discount as you can get that now with an inventory car with the added benefit of being able to extend the warranty for 8 years.

I just wish they would list their entire inventory online so we don't have to waste our time and the time of Tesla Gallery employees asking for what cars are available every week. Seriously, how difficult is it to just list all the cars they have available so customers who are picky about the color and option combinations can find the car they want.

 

[Cyclone]

And especially if they want to filter our random people from looking, they could make it a login process and you place your refundable deposit with them to get login access if you didn't want to chat the gallery employees all the time.

 

[Super_Popular]

Can you give me a little more info?...prices?, color, what local? etc....

Or they could just hire me to do it. :/
