Text about vehicle for sale

Got this message, I replied “Yes”. What should I expect next?

Hello, this is Tesla Memphis. We have a MS Long Range with 21" wheels and white interior available for immediate sale! This one will match to your current price book with an additional adjustment! Please reply YES if interested, it will go FAST!

Is this a new refreshed MS? Was it a legitimate message or a scam? Did you call "Tesla Memphis"?

 

[SquidMayne]

don’t think it’s a scam because it came from the same text thread as my previous Tesla messages. I guess they could be offering a used 21 which I wouldn’t accept. I’m on hold now waiting to talk to someone.

If it's a new 2022 model I hope they won't try to jack up the price too much (i.e. "Additional adjustment")

Update? Just curious as there's nothing in Tennessee except a Plaid, on ev-cpo.com

Usually just a vehicle than someone declined delivery on.

Additional adjustment might be the rims… did you order 19s or 21s?

Ordered the 21s

probably adjustment downward in price a bit is my guess. Someone declined (could be due to financing, could be due to them rejecting it due to something extremely minor, or extremely major. Go see it)

Let us know

Getting a passed down lemon is what I’m most concerned about. Will update when I learn more.

Just got an update the it sold to someone else. I didn’t even get a chance to respond to an offer.

 

[2101Guy]

Well, makes the decision a lot easier!

Yes, they tend to go fast. Had this happen to me too. Was gone within 2hrs while i was deciding if interested.

The short answer?

A reject.

(Greater than zero chance, ask me how I know)

Tesla has been known to pass off a car that has been rejected or even damaged to unsuspecting buyer, under the pretext, "car just became available"

I was called and offered a plaid (Home Delivery, no less) on 4:15 PM Dec 31st, 2021.

20 Model S LRs available for Sale/delivery across the US today… no way these are all rejects.

I'm sure some have just cancelled or failed financing.

However, being this is the End of Quarter, you have to ask yourself, do you feel lucky?

I guess when you do the acceptance walk around decide then.

If you have to finance a 100K+ car you should probably look at something a bit cheaper…

Can't all be "defective" cars. Circumstances change for people. Some folks don't have the funds at time ready. Lot can happen in the eternity of the 12 month wait!
Regarding financing, don't see anything wrong with financing at this price point. May actually make more economical sense but I'm no financial guru. Time cost of money etc...
