Low mileage 2025 cars?

i think you're missing the whole "Elmo gone full nazi", "dump your tesla now" thing that's been in the news for months.

That happened on Jan 20. Did that many people buy the cars before then?

Yes

Tesla is selling them directly to used car dealers just like BYD is doing. There's several close to me 2025&6 with under 100 miles. Then Tesla counts it as a delivery. Here's a little Mitsubishi dealership in Washington with two. https://www.leskovar.com/all-inventory/index.htm?compositeType=used&make=Tesla&odometer=0-1000

Service loaners that Tesla "bought" to juice their delivery numbers and is now dumping at dealer auctions to make way for more fake deliveries.

It's a process, not a fixed event though. Sales have slumped, the market is flooded, ppl aren't buying them, ppl are trading them in, inventory is stacking up.

What about those of us who were teed up to buy but then said hell to the naw naw.

I'm talking about 2025 models

What is the point? Yes, they were popular cars and lots of people bought them. Elon’s reputation didn’t change at the flip of a switch for the masses. People gradually learned about his shittiness and also were exposed to the public being more and more outspoken about Tesla.

"Was". Now, they can't sell anything. And meme stock goes up...

Demos most likely. They are technically used.

People should start calling these dealers and ask them where they got the cars. They may be participating in an illegal scheme.

no, they weren't. Tesla shrunk in 2024 and will shrink more still in 2025. It's a failing car company and a stock promotion scheme that relies on lies.

Probably demo units from when TSLA was giving away 2 free days in any of their carss

I think I have an answer. The EV credit is expiring and / or removed. The $7,500 credit can be claimed by a Business without limitations. That is how KIA, Lucid, Mercedes offer leases with this value included. So… independent car dealers, mostly used lots, are buying up Teslas to claim the credit in an anticipation of the credit going away. This effectively raises the price. A similar thing happened when the delivery times were 6-12 months for Model Y. Independent car lots would order multiple cars and flip them for a profit since Elon kept jacking up the prices. It was no risk since all they had to do was put $1000 on a credit card to order one. Tesla didn’t know the difference between Joe Schmoe and Joe Schmoe’s Luxury Used Cars. All they had to do was create an account, order the car, and enter a credit card, then wait for delivery. Most states allow car dealers to flip cars without having to pay sales taxes since they are for resale. If they offer dealer financing, just like leasing companies, it is totally legal.

you're saying the price+credit is baked in?
