    Is it possible to hire someone as a consultant to help me determine what model S I should get? I was initially in the market for a 2016 model S but as I have learned more and more about the functionality and the potential upgrades I’m wondering if I should get a newer model up to a 2020 because I do not like the 2021 refresh. But even so I do wonder if there are any drawbacks to being closed off to newer models and it’s so hard to navigate the information online

    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.)

    If buying 2020 or newer, is the battery condition a concern?

    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.

    What makes me hesitant is the fact that the website want you to make a deposit and place the order before they even run your credit.

      After the 4 yr warranty. From Tesla: Tesla used vehicles are covered by the remainder of 4 years or 50,000 miles left on the Basic Vehicle Limited Warranty. After expiration, the Used Vehicle Limited Warranty provides additional coverage of 1 year or 10,000 miles. If the Basic Vehicle Limited Warranty has already expired, the Used Vehicle Limited Warranty will provide coverage of 1 year or 10,000 miles, starting from your delivery date.

    • @tesbros
      @tesbros  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Once you have a VIN and the car at your delivery center, it’ll ask you if you have a trade in on the Tesla app. Most things are done through the app btw. During that process, put your vin and info with photos and they’ll come back in a few days with a offer. You can accept and if you do, you can bring that in for a trade in to save some costs on taxes. Hope that helps and let us know if you have any other questions!

    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.

    • @tesbros
      @tesbros  ปีที่แล้ว +6

      That is true - you do lose that $250 if you cancel. I'd say there's a little comfort knowing all used Teslas put back on the market by Tesla should be in good shape, and if there's something wrong, they can fix it under warranty. But yeah, buying unseen is still a risk for sure

I called and they said I back from purchase once car arrives but by that time your deposit and transportation fee are non-refundable.

    The car I’m buying is way less than KBB value. It’s a 2019 M3 SR+ with 23k miles for $37k. Supposed to be picking it up in a couple days but I’m a bit worried since it’s so much cheaper than KBB which was around $46k. Should I be concerned?

    • @tesbros
      @tesbros  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I personally wouldn’t be. It fluctuates and KBB is just a baseline. Tesla cars tend to fluctuate quite a bit. I’ve seen it go low but it usually goes back up. Demand isn’t an issue right now so I wouldn’t worry about not being able to sell it. However, if you’re trying to buy now and sell it, I’d be careful since the market has cooled significantly.
