The cars can generally be inspected before purchase (unlike Tesla who often, at best, only offer photographs) and even driven. They will also typically include a limited warranty, often by law, and may offer to provide an extended warranty for a fee. We have created a guide to buying a used car from Tesla to cover the various considerations on a purchase from Tesla.īuying from an independent dealer is a half-way house, they should ensure the car is mechanically sound and they will typically address cosmetic issues to make the car as attractive as possible. Tesla is no different although their cosmetic standards are fairly minimal and the inspection is now largely mechanical. The manufacturer will have a minimum standard the car must meet including mechanical and cosmetic standards before selling the car, and the car would come with a good warranty. Traditionally the best quality cars came from the manufacturer's dealerships and 'CPO' or Certified Pre-Owned cars. When buying privately, you would hope the seller knows about the car, but even they can make similar mistakes to dealers.īuying at auction will often be blind with very little information about the car. Remember, car dealers are sales people first and foremost. Some dealers also write articles or post videos on Youtube and sadly this exposes their lack of detailed knowledge even more, citing the wrong batteries in models or feature mistakes.

Quoting the speficiation for a different model with respect to features, such as the number of speakers or whether it has a heated steering wheel.

Not understanding the range or performance of the cars and quoting it for different models.

Understanding the Tesla warranties and whether the car is still covered.

We've been tracking the used car market for a number of years and the adverts are often wrong. Tesla are known to remove features from cars such as downgrade autopilot and remove both free supercharging and free premium connectivity, but in many respects this does not matter to the buyer, the car will be accurately described by Tesla.īuying used from a non-Tesla dealer requires you to do your homework as many dealers simply do not understand the cars and options. The remaining 8 years and potentially limited mileage battery and motor warranty will be left unchanged. If buying used from Tesla they will give a minimum of 1 year/10k miles of general warranty.
