Tesla Model S CPO Website - Now Live

[TomServo]

Question for CPO buyers that bought a car from a distant CPO store and had it shipped to your local Tesla SC for delivery. Can you explain the process? I get the $1000 deposit (probably a CC) when you click the BUY button.

When do I actually have to pay that balance, before it departs the Tesla CPO store where you bought it from or after it arrives at my local Tesla SC? I live near St Louis and will have to have any CPO shipped to St Louis for delivery.

Any detailed description of the process is appreciated.

thanks in advance.

Once you commit to a vehicle and make the $1000 deposit with a credit card, prior to them shipping it to your location, they will confirm that you understand and accept the delivery charge. Within that timeframe (I believe it could be before or after), your assigned Tesla Delivery Specialist (DS) will generate an MVPA (Motor Vehicle Purchase Agreement) that you need to sign prior to shipping.

You will later receive a detailed invoice of all charges (typically the vehicle, plus transport and applicable taxes) and at that point you need to indicate to Tesla which part you are paying for and which part you are financing through your lender. The part you are paying for will need to be remitted through the "MyTesla" web portal via ACH from your bank or sent by bank wire transfer. This can be done as single or multiple payments, and from multiple accounts as needed. Credit cards are not accepted after the initial deposit.

This may sound complicated, but if you follow it step-by-step through the process, it is probably the easiest way to execute a transaction as complicated as a long distance automobile purchase.

I hope this helps.

I'll just throw in that my "mytesla" page was broken, so they just let me bring in a personal check at delivery for the balance. Not even a certified or bank check. Just a regular old check. They said "we know where to find you" if something went wrong with the check. Yes, they actually said that.

Speaking of broken.... Hank is your consolidator page working? After over a week of gangbuster sales not one car sold today? I get that probably none would be added, since it's Sunday, but not one car picked up?

It was just like buying a new car. You hit the "buy" button, pay the $1K dep then the car is shipped to the closest SC to you. They recondition the car then your DS will let you know when it's ready and you pay your balance. The one annoying thing is that most cars are not "drive off ready". It took several weeks for mine to get to me and to be reconditioned. Worth the wait though.

Do they tell you the condition of the battery? I.e. How much degradation has occurred?

Mine wasn't even broken. My DS said I can give them a check at delivery if I so desired, or I could pay in advance - my choice. I handed over the check in exchange for the key in person when getting my car.

Awesome, I did call my local SC a couple of weeks ago about arranging to get my 2014 Stingray appraised since I'll be trading it in if I can't find a private buyer and beat the tax advantage.

now all I need is the " right" Tesla to show up. I'm looking for a Green S85 but might consider the 60 if the price/options and miles right.

Thanks for for all the info. Can't wait.

I see 10 cars removed yesterday....

There might be a formatting error again then. What browser are you using?

I'm not seeing any change in the DB in Safari or Firefox on OS X (latest versions of browser and OS) or Safari on iOS. I don't have a machine with chrome to peek. I do see the numbers changing reflecting there are cars moving around, but no actual list changes (when sorted by date added or date removed).

/edit When sorted by Date Removed, the most recent car I see removed is Vin P27627, sold on 6-06-2015 @ 21:00 which leads me to think something changed on the 7th...
/edit 2 The updates stopped (for me) on June 7th. Perhaps something to do with the month number and the day number.\
/edit 3 I can see one car added today in Canada across all browsers, (including chrome) but don't see any changes at all for yesterday (including chrome). All this is on OSX.

Update on my CPO and reconditioning

Seems Tesla didn't do a few resets on the software, which may or may not be a good thing. Let's see:

1. GPS/NAV searches never cleared (all the way back to day 1 delivery, whoever owned this went to Chipotle all over California)
2. Home address not cleared (this could be dangerous in the wrong hands, i deleted it)
3. Slacker account logged in
- maybe it's me, but my Slacker account (free) only lets me skip 6 songs or so
- In the MS, I haven't pushed the limit, but have skipped way more than 6 in a row
- Based on the username, i'll post later, it might be an internal Tesla account? Possible?
- Previous owner loved country and hip hop as said favorites
4. Tune in account signed in, I think
- Haven't really used it, but I might also have someone's previously active sync running.
5. Didn't check yet, but now am curious if the browser history is cleared?????

Yikes. I almost wonder if HQ putting in the "Factory Reset" option in the UI to clear everything out was purposely for resale scenarios and maybe not all Service Centers have quite gotten the memo to hit that as the first thing they do once the car is turned over?!?

Slacker is generally logged into a generic "tesla" account for all cars. Check the Slacker login credentials to see if it's the Tesla account (basic) or the previous owner's premium account.

Yeah will definitely check. I didn't realize the slacker account has a generic "tesla" login. I pay for my own subs to XM/Pandora/others... not trying to steal an account, just a heads up.

Sorry, got my dates confused. 10 cars were removed on Saturday. I also see the one car added today in Canada. I guess the activity might have to do with when cars are added: a bunch of cars added on 6/5 sold in less than a day, a few more sold in 1 day. Other sales have much longer "tenure". Few added on 6/6, none of them were good enough deals to warrant an immediate sale.

I guess it's possible. Two have sold today. I'm shocked nothing sold yesterday after weeks of multiple sales every day.

That all agrees with what I see. Everything looks normal. You can check the output of each hourly run here: http://logmysc.com/cpo-run.out

We are seeing the 1st 40K+ range tesla:

Much better equipped than the other S60 at 50K. Finger cross for more price drops soon.

Grab them quickly guys!

60 kWh Model S P03747 | Tesla Motors

I would do it but, the 60 is too little range for me. Especially one with 33K miles on it already. I need something with more range.

...and it's brown, which really looks quite nice in person (someone has been parking a brown P85D across the street from my house in the past few weeks and I am coveting it).
