I have been watching the Used Model S site for the past few weeks, and a few days ago, there were multiple price drops on many used model S's. I ended up grabbing a fairly loaded 2015 P90DL for $42,800 which looked like a screaming deal. They had a few 2014 models in the mid 20s, those sold quickly. Knowing about the v1 battery issues and the stigma around that, I figured that could be the reason, so pulled the trigger, got the call back from Tesla, applied and approved for the financing, agreed to pay the $1k to ship to San Diego and was told now its a waiting game until delivery, which I was in no rush.
Just got a call back from Tesla, they said it was a price mistake, and the price was going to be over $55k, or they could kindly refund my $100. I stated I was unwilling to pay $55k for what is most likely a v1 battery car and they offered the only thing they could do is refund my $100. Being a model 3 owner who had a disaster delivery experience where they tried to deliver 2 damaged vehicles, this is leaving again a really bad impression on me. The plan was to try out the used model S, then go for a brand new one before the 2 year warranty was up.
Looking back on my confirmations, nothing appears as a formal purchase agreement. Fairly certain this means I have no recourse, but wanted to share with the community here, which has been so helpful in my research in both my prior model 3 and what I thought would be a new to me model S. I attached a screenshot of the vehicle.
