In Elon's ideal world Tesla's are like iPhones, you just buy a new one every few years, no trade-ins.
To Apple, or you cell company or some store that carries Apple? Only recently has Apple considered selling refurb phones, and it sounds like you've been doing this for years. If it is Apple, did you just take it to the Apple store? Do they trade in non-Apple devices too?I trade in my iPhone to Apple every year for the newest model and end up paying about what I would pay if I sold it on eBay (if you include fees, time and hassle). Very easy.
From that article, Elon said "As we have sort of thought about it more, the logic thing to do from an app standpoint is to maybe allow apps on your iPhone or Android to project onto the center display, as opposed to trying to create a new app ecosystem."
They don’t want to hold inventory, inventory requires cash, they have to borrow money to buy your car. Basic economics.
I tried this, they won't do it. I think it's mostly because they are not trained in how to do it, not part of the official process.Well then I'm doing them a favor as I have a wholesale broker that will take the car right when the trade is completed. Tesla just need to facilitate the transaction to capture the sales tax credit. They're not holding inventory or need cash as the broker takes the car and pays them the same day.
I was trading in a less than 2 year old Model S in 2015 and Tesla's trade-in value was lower than what I could sell it to resellers or private sale. Not only that, it was only valid for 10 days, after that it dropped further without any guarantees how much it will be worth by the time the new car gets to me. Even Tesla sales was guiding me to take care of it myself. That was 3 years ago.I wonder if something has changed in the last year. It was right around this time last year when I was trading in my software locked S70D AP1. Tesla actually gave me the best offer. I cross shopped it with CarMax and the no-name shop across the street from CarMax, and they gave me around $2000 lower. Then I posted a feeler here that was around $7k above CarMax and the only offers I got came at or below CarMax.... Ended up trading it into Tesla.
Sounds like people are getting worse deals nowadays....
