Not sure about the dealers, but when I traded my 2017 Rav4 Hybrid, Tesla gave me the highest quote that is found in the Canadianblackbook. My Rav4 was in mint condition.Interested in purchasing the 3 with a trade in. I understand the trade in process is initiated once the deposit is placed. Pictures and other information is uploaded and evaluation is given. Does anyone know if they match offers from dealers?
Thank you. Was there a way for you to "counter offer"?Not sure about the dealers, but when I traded my 2017 Rav4 Hybrid, Tesla gave me the highest quote that is found in the Canadianblackbook. My Rav4 was in mint condition.
Sorry. I'm not sure if you can. You can try..Thank you. Was there a way for you to "counter offer"?
No negotiation, and don't expect to get anything above wholesale. They offered me 24k for my 2017 volt last September, I sold it for 32k. I had a friend trade in his 2017 bolt in June. He went with Tesla's offer of around 31k I believe, but could have sold it for probably 36-38k. He didn't want the hassle and took the tesla offer.Interested in purchasing the 3 with a trade in.

I can tell that you feel like Tesla slighted you or something with their offer for your Volt, but it doesn’t mean that every offer is a lowball offer... it sounds like you friend actually did well with his Bolt once you factor in tax savings. Pretty close to if he had sold privately with A LOT less hassle (when tax savings is factored in).No negotiation, and don't expect to get anything above wholesale.

Bottom line, if you need to maximize your trade value to out more against the car sell privately. If you don't want the hassle of selling, take Tesla's lowball offer but have the convenience of driving in and then out in a new tesla.
They don't re sell the car themselves, it goes to auction for others to sell so their offer will always be lower than auto trader average by around 15-20%.
They won't negotiate, someone else will buy your tesla
Actually the tesla offer was about the same in both cases...about 3k less than selling private, so it's about what your time is worth. I just did really well on my volt sale because it was just after the incentives got cancelled so there was a lot of competition for used EVs for a few months.I can tell that you feel like Tesla slighted you or something with their offer for your Volt, but it doesn’t mean that every offer is a lowball offer... it sounds like you friend actually did well with his Bolt once you factor in tax savings.

I think we’ve all been naive in the past to think that traditional car dealerships trade in values can be negotiated to an actual benefit. Most times it’s on a sliding scale of trade in value vs MSRP of the car you’re purchasing. One goes down, the other goes up, or vice versa.
No negotiation, and don't expect to get anything above wholesale. They offered me 24k for my 2017 volt last September,
$1500 for a 2007 cayenne S fully loaded with everything
$18500 for a 2015 gla250 with EVERY option including a few that are not offered.
I think that the trade is is not only non negation-able, but they have them off to a third party and have little/no interest in doing the bare minimum with them.
I can get 24k for the gla sight unseen and the cayenne sells for 6-10k
On the other side of the coin, Tesla sells the car I want for 5-8k cheaper than private or 3rd parts sales. So it’s a toss up on how much work you want to do to get the car. For the 10k difference and tax rebate it might be worth Tesla taking the gla and selling the Porsche privately. It’s just a case of finding what’s going to work for you.
I think you did well. 11 months later Tesla gave me $20k for my 2017 Volt. Probably could have got more privately but I'd need to get at least $23k after you factor in the tax savings.

Is there a way to do this accommodation type sale in Ontario? I remember seeing a thread ages ago where Tesla would do something similar (you 'trade' your car into them, and they immediately 'sell' it to a buyer you have identified). They would charge a nominal fee, like $500 or 1,000 for this...but I also recall someone saying they stopped doing this....I found out about this after I sold my Volt. If it was possible to do when I sold it, I would have also saved the tax on 32k off of my model 3, and that would have easily justified a 1k 'paperwork' cost to Tesla.3rd party dealers are selling new Teslas to people in Quebec. They may make money off financing, trade-ins and/or higher sale price. The advantage for the buyer is apparently higher offer for trade-in (or having vente d'accomodation allowed) and having the Quebec rebate deducted up front.
