Tesla Motors Club
So I’m in the market for a used Tesla and just joined this forum.
I’ve been nervous to buy private party because of the warranty expiring, (depending on mileage) but if you buy from Tesla, they offer a 2 year warranty correct? But I’ve read so many horror stories here about Tesla selling used lemons.
Plus, I keep reading that Tesla ended their CPO program and yet, they do sell used cars, with warranties.
The feature set is confusing too.
Starting to wonder if a used Tesla is even a good idea. I’ve read of a few good experiences here, but far more bad than good.
I guess my biggest question is this: I thought Teslas were far more simple than gas powered cars so far fewer things go wrong. Then I read about MCU issues, GPS issues, then there are the few crashes in the media... so what happens with a high mileage Tesla? What happens near the end of battery life, and what other things should I be careful of if buying used? I thought a used Tesla purchase would be a no brainer, but instead I’m overwhelmed, so thanks for any pointers.
