Buying a Used Tesla From a Dealership - Pros and Cons - TESBROS

After owning a Model 3 for four years, I decided it was time to upgrade to a more family car: The Model X. I traded the 3 for a used X from a dealership, and I hope my experience helps as you go through the process too!

Should we make a video on how to inspect a used Tesla before buying?

13:34 “keep in mind when you are buying a used vehicle, they are not new” 😂😂

Great content btw

One thing to note, if you are executing a trade-in and owe more on your current vehicle than its worth (negative equity) you will need to goto a dealership to get a Tesla that's the only option, you cant go through Tesla. Tesla financing doesn't allow the option to roll your negative equity into a new loan, however the dealership will offer financing options to accommodate your needs.

Great video. I am trading in my 2021 Ram 1500 and trying to find a used 2023 model y performance. I found one with 4K miles. However i drove it and noticed the alignment was way off. Called tesla gave them the VIN number and it looks like the person that bought this car has been complaining about the steering wheel not being centered since they purchased the car. The dealership agreed to take the car to a tesla service center before i commit to the purchase. Thx for the video

List price for Teslas here in Vegas were about $10k more than Tesla's website for comparable used Model 3. I was also able to do a trade in with Tesla.

Great video! Very informative! Thanks for putting this series together.

Been looking at used model 3s for about a year. It’s crazy how much value you can get for some of these cars at dealerships. There’s plenty of sub $25k long range and even some 2021+ performance models are getting below that $25k threshold for the $4k used ev tax credit.

Where to buy used Tesla in Canada?
What about warranty that allows service @ Tesla.

Hi, I saw your video I wanted to buy my tesla and I found a 2019/ model 3/ 62.000 miles $22500 do you think is a good deal? i try yo tell them do the battery health check but they just said they couldn’t do it, I still think I have everything ready to sign the paperwork but I am kind of afraid I make a mistake buying it, because of the miles and the year. I have a short budget for my tesla 😢 the dealership said with 100% battery the range of milage is 279, they don’t give me any warranty only the tesla

Good stuff man. Other thing to point out being at the dealership, try not to be there lol have everything done through text or email and confirm the numbers once you are ready. Don’t be there to fight because they will wear you out like he said

Thank you for the video. Trying to get a 2022 model y. This video helped 💯

Just got a Tesla via dealership. Tesla’s trade in offer is usually low. With the dealership I got $5K more.

What if you can’t go and inspect the car? Would you always suggest flying and checking the car out? Looking to purchase a vehicle soon

Question when you buy a used Tesla from the dealership that has one on the lot are you able to easily take ownership of the car in the Tesla app as long as you provide the three documents, Driver License, temporary registration or registration card, and business card of the dealership? Or do the previous owner have to release their information? before you can take ownership via app ?

How do I test it at a supercharger? Since payment is tied directly to the car, but it’s not my car yet, is there a way to take it to a nearby SC and make sure it charges prop?

[Dimplehead]

Why does a Tesla have a P100D sticker on the back but it doesn’t say P100D on the software feature? Is it still a performance model? It’s a 2018. Any insight would be helpful

[ngarci]

Is there any company out there that will inspect a used Tesla’s…!?!

[rivermoon]

Should I consider also the miles of a Tesla? other than the Year model etc.? thanks! very informative vid!

[TNguyen]

Anybody know a good company to buy extended warranty for tesla?
