UK: buying from Tesla used inventory.
- Thread starter Mr Puzzles
- Start date
Sorry to hear this, I've only just seen it. Get onto AnyVan. They are the guys delivering. They are way more helpful than Tesla who only went dark on me
After 11 weeks though, I finally have my Tesla! Has been a poor experience as many of you know. But the car itself is good so far. A few scratches here and there but nothing major. Weirdly no tyres came with caps and two of them were low on pressure despite being clearly new tyres. Overall I'm satisfied.
Matt Underwood dealt with my experience and gave me some compensation in the form of voucher so I'd ask him again!
I love that you say with such confidence that any single part of this process will have been done. Never mind done correctly.
I am losing my patience tbh, they don’t seem to be able to get cars ready, or keep me updated and I have lost confidence in them as a company for customer service.
Just enquired about swapping to a car that’s showing as available now…which they think will take longer
just recieved my car.. where do I start.. car is not what I expected of a car with 13k on the clock! Previous owner did not look after it at all.. feels like a car that’s done 50k miles! Steering wheel is worn down quite a bit.. when I spoke to Tesla they kept mentioning the work that is being done needs to be Tesla standard before they can release the car.. and I can tell you it’s low as I don’t think they checked the car.. b pillar looks way off will try attach some pics.. on the passenger side alignment is not same as the drivers side.. spoiler fitting looks like someone did it at home.. misaligned.. and I know it’s minor but all the wheels having missing caps.. minor will sort that out.. car is dirty inside and will need a proper detailing job to make it acceptable let alone nice!
Driver was in a rush as he had another job and he nearly damaged the car taking it off the trailer as apparently was too long for his trailer.. jokes.
Handover was shambles while I was looking over the car.. guy signed it off himself and then rushed off.. I just about managed to get the keys off him!
Now gonna make difficult decision of possibly sending the car back as it’s not good enough after waiting nearly 3 months for this!

Sorry to hear that.
I've been following this thread and similar for a while. Most people (after repeated delays and so on) have been pleased with their cars and it seemed that Tesla had indeed sorted out a bunch of stuff - as you would expect.
From memory there have been 2 previous buyers who were delivered junk. On one I asked if the inventory was actually new, but just failed PDI'd, because I couldn't believe previous owner would have put up with all the faults - but turns out a) they had done and b) they didn't care about the car at all, so had treated it badly.
I don't understand how Tesla can do a decent job for multiple cars, and then be perfectly happy to hand over junk as well - in particular a bunch of faults that must clearly fail their checklist on multiple counts (and something that they have repeatedly stressed as being the reason why the car is delayed)
I don't know what to suggest TBH, except that I think you need to hand it back
'coz I reckon every time you get in it you will be disappointed - even if service fix it - a) how long will that take? (I suppose if they give you a loaner then time is not an issue) and b) how many times are you going to have to send it back before it is right?Feels like they handed car over and hoping to have it sorted with the service center as they don’t have the capacity to deal with the back order of cars.. the delivery guy said there where 100’s of cars waiting at the corby center.
Can I drive the car although tax site shows that it is untaxed not having the green slip can’t finish that step of registering for the road tax although nothing to pay?
Otherwise more delays in waiting for the v5c doc before can road tax the car before start driving

There might be a delay in the site updating.
Mine was taxed when it arrived. If you go to your Tesla account on the website, click the car and on that page, there should be a document confirming it.
last update from me on my purchase - I received a full refund of money paid to Tesla for the purchase of M3P. Tesla was reluctant to refund the £200 Initially, little push sorted the issue.
It's an absolute joke 12+ weeks.
From what I've seen, they've taken all second hand model 3s off site so maybe they're selling to auctions instead because they know they simply can't deal with the volume.
Don’t blame you, 12 weeks for a used car that’s already in the country is just pathetic.
I was looking at RS3s last night…
Oh and the used inventory is still there, just sometimes the page doesn’t work for postcodes properly and they disappear. 3 showing as ready for delivery now, out of 35 total

Been reading through this thread on and off for days after paying the £200 reservation fee for a "cheap" m3p which came up at £28500 on Tuesday night. I really want the years warenty and eap hence waiting for a cheap enough one to come up from used inventory. After reading the horror stories on here starting to wonder if I'm doing the right thing. I messaged them yesterday to ask what my waiting time could look like and got the reply "oh you only ordered yesterday (it was 2 days ago but let's not go splitting hairs) and you won't hear anything for at least 2 weeks" sounds like I'm off to a great start.
Have another car to sell and at the moment 2 bank loans to make payments on as selling the old car will pay off the old loan, great joy awaits, hmmmm
Anyway 1st post, nice to be here and read your posts.
