Oh, what a quest it is to find a Tesla that’s been used! It’s like finding treasure in the backyard. You know the legends. You know there’s plenty of gold to find, but where should you begin? You’ve heard the legends, you know there is gold to be found but where do you start digging ONLY USED TESLA?
Let’s begin by discussing why anyone might want a second hand electric chariot designed by Elon Musk. The obvious bragging right and the thrill of silently zooming by gas stations with an smug smile is not the only reason to buy a Tesla. With a Tesla you reduce your emissions, and Mother Earth can breathe easier. Don’t forget to mention the cool factor. All the tech in these cars makes them like smartphones on wheels.
Here’s the tricky part: finding one that’s not too expensive, but makes you feel like a winner. When it comes to the used Tesla market, knowing what you are looking for is more important than knowing what model you want.
Let’s start with the mileage. With gas guzzlers high mileage can make you worry about repairs. Teslas are different. The high mileage is a joke to them. Although not literally, their electric motors can do much more than a typical engine. Even so, don’t dismiss it. Even a car that has traveled thousands of miles may be experiencing other problems.
Here’s where it gets spicy – battery health. Teslas are renowned for their long lasting batteries, but these are not immortal. Even a Tesla that has been driven a ton of miles may need its batteries checked sooner or later. It’s like checking on your new potential friend’s heart health.
The history is checked! The fact that a car is clean and seems to be in good condition doesn’t mean there haven’t been any oopsies. Some cars carry more baggage than airport carousels – repairs, accidents and maybe ghost rattles you only hear when trying to impress someone.
Let me add my two-cents worth: have the electric beasts inspected by a professional before paying any money. Like a second dating, you want to make sure that you understand what you are really getting yourself into before committing.
Remember people, buying an used Tesla is a journey. It can be thrilling or frustrating at times but it will always make for a great story to tell.
You can do it in style by giving Mother Nature high fives.
If you play the cards right, buying a second-hand Tesla is a thrilling adventure. Don’t forget: each mile you spend in an electric chariot represents another “I warned you so” moment for those who doubted your ability to join the EV movement without going broke. Seattle has everything possible – including sunshine. The sonal is full of twists and turns, just like parking in Seattle downtown on Saturday night. Rain City has the people who will guide you with skill, safety and even humor through this journey.
