I find used cars on the Tesla website are priced substantially less than what private party individuals and even other car dealers are trying to get for the cars.

I think the public has not cut up with the reality that secondhand Teslas have dropped substantially in price and value. A few years ago we had a car shortage, but now there is a car glut.

Totally worth it for what is now $17k in “free” software upgrades! Plus solid warranty.

Thanks for this. I'm deciding if I should jump into my first EV and I'm weighing the costs, pros, cons, and so on. And this series took away some of the stress of searching through all of the sites and data. Appreciate it.

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. So it was much better pricing than the dealership. I didn't look at private party.

Thank you so much for your information. I have an internship interview for used car sales analytics role and this helped me very much in understanding the issues of buying a used tesla

[flyingscotsman]

Immediately subscribed. I’m still wary of buying one with a non-refundable delivery fee (Wisconsin boy so most are either 1 or 2k delivery fee with rare Illinois options for what I’m interested in) but I’m glad to get all your feedback throughout this series.

This was a great summary. I didn't even know Tesla themselves offer a used car market.

I literally just reserved a 2022 M3LR Blue with white/black interior, 14k miles with Enhanced Auto Pilot and Accelerator Boost ($57k retail new) for $42, 500. When the prices begin dropping they do so at a rate of 500 per day. Have a strategy and follow through. You then cannot blame anyone but yourself. I paid $500 for the deposit and i was close enough. The shipping fee was $500. All in all, a win i would consider. Plus the added 1 year to basic warranty is the same as buying 2023 for coverage sake. At 3.7 seconds 0-60, your LR is now a Performance comparable vehicle and actually is faster above 60 in a roll race with 358 miles of range. You can have a million dollars and be a millionaire but if you spend a million, youre as broke as the next guy.

The only pro buying from Tesla is that you get that one year 10, 000 mile warranty. Other than that, the cons are you’re buying a car unseen and if you cancel the delivery because it’s not what you expected it to be you lose your deposit.

I’m pretty much convinced I’m going used Tesla through Tesla…

[Savvn]

no way used model y was 70k and now theyre 30k 1 year ago

Subbed! Never too long as long as it is informative. These 3 part series were very informative👍
QUESTION #1: When looking at buying from a private party/person, what do u recommend for checking the on the condition of the battery? (Other than checking the battery cover from underneath, as u recommended.)
QUESTION #2:
If buying 2020 or newer, is the battery condition a concern?

[dddmmm]

My only concert is lack of pics and they say car may contain cosmetic imperfections and when you click on details they say 4in scratches and 2in dents are acceptable... Those are huge in my opinion... I want to believe they would deal with imperfections but they cant guarantee. I called and they said I back from purchase once car arrives but by that time your deposit and transportation fee are non-refundable.

[FineVisionz]

When buying used from Tesla, when it's time to pick up the car, are you able to look at the exterior and interior before purchase? Are you able to test drive the car as well?
Thanks!

[nishiki]

Great video Ji. Lots of useful info and pro tips!

[jb]

You have me 90% there. I’m ready to pull the trigger…. How does trading in your car online through their website work? Can you explain that process?

[SourGrasshopper]

The only thing I'm worried about is imperfections with the interior or paint things like that, not being able to see until delivery sucks

[andrewsparks]

One of the first videos on YouTube I've ever commented on. This was extremely helpful and I learned a lot from your video. Thank You!!

So the used Tesla market on the Tesla website is around the same has dealerships?

[David_Palma]

Good information thanks! Just one question, what other fees or extra charges are made to the final price, besides the taxes and transportation fees, like how much more increase the price from the one is displayed on the Tesla website?
