What is the process for ordering a used car on Tesla's official website?
2 Answers
Log in to Tesla's official website, click on 'Vehicles' to select the model you wish to purchase, then click 'Customize My Model*' to enter the purchasing channel. Taking Model 3 as an example, first configure according to your needs, with five pages covering the model, exterior, interior, autopilot, and payment options. Select your preferred exterior color and wheel color. Based on your requirements, choose the interior color and interior package combination. Decide whether to include the basic Autopilot feature according to your needs. The basic Autopilot feature includes automatic assisted steering, acceleration, and braking. Based on the page content, determine the payment method and select a convenient payment channel. Estimated delivery date: 4 to 6 weeks.
A while ago, I also ordered a used Model S from Tesla’s official website, and the process was quite smooth—sharing my experience with you. After opening the website, there’s a dedicated pre-owned vehicle section where I filtered options by model, year, and price. Each listing came with photos, mileage, warranty details, etc., which was quite transparent. Once I found a suitable car, I clicked the reservation button, paid a ¥1,000 deposit, and quickly received a confirmation email. Then, customer service contacted me to schedule a test drive or inspection at a local service center. After confirming the car’s condition was fine, I logged into my account to complete the remaining payment—options included online transactions or in-store visits (I chose credit card payment). After waiting two or three days for delivery, the car was brought to my doorstep. The entire process was fully digital—convenient and fast, avoiding the hassle of bargaining, though prices are fixed with no discounts. Overall, it’s an efficient experience suited for modern people who prefer hassle-free solutions. My only advice is to check the warranty coverage in advance in case minor issues arise for potential claims.
