Tesla is kind of hostile to second hand market. No spare parts , no service history info, unauthorized repair disables charging etc.. Basically Apple mentality

Car with a good maintenance should last 20 years. Not like a phone that gets thrown away every 5 years.
- Forgivenessizer 7y agoThe Tesla is basically a bunch of chinese stuff cobbled together. If they were made in America, there would be ways to fix them.
- thomasedwards 7y agoI think you might be missing a whole bunch of \s \s \s \s If not... you know they’re made in the USA? And have you ever heard of John Deere tractors?
- jlbooker 7y agoThis is outdated. Tesla now publishes a full parts catalog. You can call up the parts desk at any Tesla Service Center and order whatever part you like (for the most part, a few critical parts are restricted). I believe they do ask for a VIN number, though.
- FireBeyond 7y agoHave you actually tried that? Unless its changed even more recently - they _do_ publish a parts catalog. And every single item, down to the most commodity screw/bolt doesn't list a price, just says "Contact Tesla for Sales". And according to at least a few people who have indeed contacted them, "Sorry, that part is not purchasable". Basically as if a state said they had to make parts available to be (potentially) purchased online, and they had followed the very letter of the law.
