We all know that these CPO cars are anything but. I currently have 2015 S 85D with a lease expiring the end of the year. I have been looking at 2015 S P85D's.
Thanks to Ev-cpo I got a notification of a price decrease on a a car I had been watching.
I immediately placed my $2,500 deposit and emailed for photos. Although the CPO adviser I have been emailing has been slow to respond, he was pretty quick today getting me the photos after I placed my deposit.
There were about 20 photos of good quality, but poor with respect to what you could actually see. However, I did notice 2 large hail size intentions on the hood, and what appeared to be body damage on the right passenger side above the wheel well. Not scratches, body damage.
Before traveling 1500 miles to pick up the car within 7 days, I called my local Tesla certified body shop and asked if they could do an estimate by photo. They said sure and I sent some photos and received an estimate back several minutes later for $8,300. WTF?
So I emailed and eventually spoke on the phone with the CPO adviser to see if Tesla might be willing to lower the purchase price a bit to offset the the body damage. Nope. I asked for my deposit back.
I get that Tesla is not reconditioning cars, but this car should not be sold as is.
My bitching for the day.
