tesla will now ship used vehicles for $2000 transport fee

Pfft! All these people complaining about a $2000 fee to ship a car cross country. The Destination fee for a new car is a fixed (fixed by US law) $1000. I had to pay this even though I picked my car up at the Fremont deliver center, 1.6 miles from the factory!

Is the $2K shipping in addition to the mandatory $1K destination fee, or in lieu of the mandatory fee?

The destination fee is for new cars.

The shipping fee is if you order a used Tesla which has to be shipped from a distant location.
IMHO: (1) It should vary with the distance, and (2) Seems high even if shipping a car from LA to NYC.

Suppose I order a new Model S from the new inventory which is in another state, what are my delivery fees as opposed to ordering from my nearest delivery hub? Will it always be $1,000 flat?

Shipping fees for used vehicles on the Tesla site now based on location and vary from $500 - $2000 from what I see. This is a more reasonable pricing method imo.

As of Tuesday of this week it still said $2000 flat everywhere. Today it now says "Up to $2500". I have reached out to my used sale adviser to find out for sure. If its $500 to ship instead of me driving 6 hours there and 6 hours home, could be worth it.
