Buying Used from a dealership

You can get the same thing from Tesla website used, and get an extra 1 year 10,000 miles warranty on top as well. I literally just bought a 2023 model y performance a week ago with hardware 4 for $32,500. 30k miles, white interior, and tow hitch. For the 40k price tag you are about to pay you can just go trough Tesla and buy the FSD from them directly. As for what’s the difference. The performance has 21” rims, better sound system, all wheel drive, 0-60 in 3.5 seconds. The normal model y is like 4.5 I think. The performance also has the carbon fiber spoiler The performance also gets worse mileage per charge

40k is too high for a 2023 model. Try 36-38k max.

Also its lowered about an inch. But the sound system is the same

There was a post a few weeks back where a guy bought from dealer, took the physical keys but don’t bother setting up of the software till they drove home in another state. When they called Tesla they learned the previous owner did not clear their financing with Tesla and so Tesla software restricted the car. If you buy 3rd party confirm with Tesla that you can take over the car software before you give money. If hardware 5 is important, don’t buy. There’s no guarantee you will be able to upgrade. HW3 did not get an upgrade path to HW4.

You can find lower priced than that. 40k is a bit too high for 23 models now.

Why is that? I get that the car has been driven a fair amount. I also don’t think 2-4k more miles is enough to say pass. I mentally don’t a concern myself with miles as much when considering electric vehicles because it just isn’t the same drivetrain. The battery is obviously the biggest holdup, but data suggest batteries are failing very rarely and lasting a long time. I’m not saying I’m right and you are wrong. I’m saying just the way I have mentally thought about it. What am I missing?

Tesla give an extra warranty

I paid 33k, for a 2024 model y performance. 23000mi. Ahh yours is with FSD

Are you talking about the miles on the car or the $$$$ ? I feel that $40k for a 2023 model Y is a little high and there maybe some room for negotiations.

Yeah, this makes way more sense.

Just pay for subscription. No guarantee FSD could be transferred for future Tesla car, and most likely you can't upgrade HW4 to HW5 AI system.

Do you have the link to that post?

$40k is *way* high. $36k is still high. It would still be high if the car only had half the miles on it. EDIT: I guess FSD changes the equation but it doesn't add anywhere near $8k to the used value.
