Tesla Model S CPO Website - Now Live

[skitch23]

I've been periodically checking CPO's to see if there are any good deals on an AP1/AP2... it seems like the inventory of CPO's has dropped off a cliff in recent months. I know leasees keep turning in their vehicles, but Tesla can't need that many of them for loaner vehicles. When I bought my CPO there were like 500 of them listed, currently there are 19 (and only three are on Tesla's page). That's just crazy to me.

Yeah, it happens from time to time where Tesla removes lots of CPO and/or Inventory cars for some reason, but usually they're added back after a few weeks or a month. It's easy to speculate why they do it, but I don't think anyone really knows for sure. Like maybe they're trying to push people towards new or Inventory cars instead of CPOs. Maybe they really did sell off the dead/stale CPO inventory to Texas Direct. Just hang in there, they will relist or repopulate the CPO inventory in time.

Good point. From your prediction, when you do think the next batch of CPOs will become available? They can't be holding on to them forever... From what i've gathered around the web:
1. Tesla is holding on to those CPOs in order to encourage new inventory/custom order purchase. For Tesla, the next financial report has to look good. They posted a historical loss last quarter and can't afford to do that again. For new owners, they get to enjoy the very last federal tax credits (presumably ending 1/1/2018)
2. Tesla does not want to participate much in CPO sales, but rather push it to a third party to handle it. The numbers of Tesla on the road are greatly increasing, yet the service centers have not been expanded/upgraded. Giving additional warranties (i.e 4 years with vehicles less than 50k miles) to CPOs definitely could create more problems for service centers to handle.
3. Tesla must sell the remaining inventory vehicles in order to announce to new upgraded version model S/X with different internal design. Nobody would purchase the current version vehicles once the new design is announced.

I really don't (can't) speculate on that. It's anyone's guess. Could be tonight. Or January. Or never.

On the last earnings call, they said they expect to quadruple the CPO/pre-owned sales in 2018 to around a billion dollars in revenue. So they are most certainly interested in selling the CPO's.

i'm sure anyone who calls about a CPO car on the ev hunter site will be allowed to purchase one.

Yes, any car that still is listed for sale on the Tesla.com site (if you click the VIN link) is available to purchase. But if the link doesn't work, the car is likely sold.

I feel like the out of warranty argument via private sellers (and 3rd party dealers) is moot because Tesla still is the only place to service the vehicle. But I guess the service cost will not be on Tesla's dime. Just taking up space.

there was a white p85 yesterday for a few minutes. i clicked it and it was "no longer available". not surprised, the price was around 50k.

It's a Hanukah Miracle!!

Tesla is adding lots of *new* inventory tonight, as well as new CPO listings.

Including this new S75 for $62k after federal tax credit.

​

Also, I misspoke before, no new CPOs have been added... yet.

 

[kwjayhawk]

AP for 51k.

Edit: My bad, 49,3! Wow!

1 @ 40k, 6 @ 40.5k, & 31 under 50k!! This is going to make a lot of people happy!

Thanks Erik

Looks like Tesla is pulling their location data from a couple different places. I noticed that several are listed in one location but then when you click for details, it shows a different location. Actually, I just checked again and the location for nearly all of them has been removed. So you know most are just somewhere in the US. There's are also large numbers in Arizona and California.

Looks like they added the locations back but lots of them are showing the wrong location again.

Looks like Tesla updated their CPO & Inventory listings. Looks a lot like my site (www.teslainventory.com)

Thanks. Erik

Interesting Sig-Red P85+ CPO just listed for $52,900:

Used Inventory | Tesla

Don't think I've ever seen a P85+ in Sig-Red before. Could be another "unicorn."

I heard of one person on TMC who had their P85 Sig-Red retrofitted with the + suspension, but I think this is different.

Came here to post about this car, never heard of a signature car being in the 10k vin range.

Ha, me too. I wonder if this is a VIP's car -- can't imagine why they would have done Sig Red on a 10k vin either.
