A whole bunch of low-priced CPOs out today. The catch? Apparently they have different terms. 2 years CPO up to 100,000 miles and remaining battery warranty. This is what I had been waiting for, but pulled the trigger on a 3rd party purchase that still had 2.5 years on the previous owner's CPO.

Wow, I have alerts set up for cars less than $40k and $45k, and it's going off like mad. I see 195 Model S CPOs for under $45k, and 34 under $40k... although those are going fast.
Looks like the new CPO warranty is going live today. 85 kWh Model S 5YJSA1H27FF080831 | Tesla This car has a 2 year up to 100K mile warranty vs the 4 year 50K
Will there still be on some vehicles four year 50,000 miles?
These new lower prices CPO models very very tempting. I'm trying to stay current on red for cars nearing 100,000 miles and the promise they might be having but I can't find a lot on this forum push me away from going that direction. Scherer small incidental things may have looks like most people are pleased.

Looks like about 480 cars (as of right now) have this new warranty.
Yes, about 700 have the original CPO warranty (as of right now).

Whelp, looks like we will be a two Tesla household soon. Mr. Az_Rael found himself a P85D for $75k in the flood today

Tesla adds lots of Certified Pre-Owned Model S vehicles for less than $40,000 with new warranty
The automaker is now listing a lot of new Certified Pre-Owned Model S vehicles for less than $40,000. While you could sometimes find a used Model S in the $40,000 price range from different resellers or directly from the owners, it was rare to find a used Tesla Model S for that price in Tesla’s Certified Pre-Owned program. Under the program, the vehicles receive a full inspection and a four-year, 50,000 miles limited warranty with 24 hour roadside assistance on top of the remaining years/mileage of their battery and drivetrain warranty. But now Tesla is introducing a new version of the program for high mileage cars. They added dozens of them to their list and several are just over $30,000:
These vehicles also receive “a full inspection, remaining battery and drive warranty”, but they get “a two-year, 100,000 miles maximum odometer pre-owned limited warranty with 24-hour roadside assistance” – instead of 4 years and 50,000 more miles.

Well, they are cars they didn't used to list on the public site, mostly. Over 50k that they used to sell "as is" via advisors, they now have this reduced warranty. But, yeah, I could probably buy my same car for $10k less today than I did in December. Oh well.
I think this is similar to the famous December '15 fire sale on the CPO site everyone has been hoping to see again.
Even owning a Tesla, I have no idea how to properly evaluate a private party used one. I'd go with a CPO. I don't think you have time to dink around with being picky. Find a config you like at the best price, lowest mileage and just go for it!

These 2-year 100k mile warranty cars are starting to hit Europe now also. There are only a few. I'll update ev-cpo to reflect the warranty on these cars shortly.

This is great news! I'm happy to see Tesla endeavoring to sell older cars themselves rather than simply getting rid of them at wholesale.
Months ago on another thread, I suggested that offering a lesser warranty on older cars might make sense. However, I'm not sure I understand the reasoning behind the fixed cap of 100K miles. If a car comes with 95K miles, then the customer experience is likely to suffer if the warranty expires after only 5K miles, as that may not provide enough time to "shake out" pre-existing issues with the car. And what about good cars with over 100K miles? Perhaps a floor of, say, 12K miles on the warranty might be better.
On our pre-owned 2012 Model S, for instance, the pano roof turned out to be leaky at roughly 75K miles. This became evident after a heavy rainstorm, when we noticed water damage in the headliner. Thankfully, even though Tesla had sold the car to us "as is" with some minor cosmetic damage, it did come with the pre-owned vehicle warranty and our Service Center was quite proactive about fixing everything. With over 90K miles on the odometer, a greatly abbreviated warranty, and a delivery date at the beginning of California's dry season, however, such latent issues might not become evident until after the warranty expires.
In any case, a selling point of EVs is that odometer mileage doesn't generally matter as much as with ICE cars. For the good of the Tesla brand if nothing else, I think that even the highest-mileage pre-owned vehicles should come with some minimum amount of warranty coverage when sold to retail buyers.

It would be great to see on this forum a thread of high mileage users and high mileage repairs for data points for prospective purchasers of a high mileage Tesla. I think that would do a lot of good for people who are on the fence and strongly considering this latest round of CPO cars.
I've tried finding one in there a few people who are pretty vocal about their repairs but not a stream of upset owners you would think to find… yet.
