Used Tesla: due to “company directives”, BMW Turin refuses to deal with it, why?
“VI would like to ask you a question about an event that happened to me at a BMW dealership in Turin. I asked for a quote with trade-in of my car, also electric (I own one Audi Q4). From a first contact with the seller, and even before explaining my requests, I was immediately blocked. Hearing me say that, by company directives, they do not collect only one type of vehicle, i.e. the famous TESLA. This surprised me a lot because, as we know, when talking about electrics it still remains the reference today. I wonder: how come this happens? In fact, going through the used channels, the TESLA seems to be sold mainly second hand between private individuals. It rarely happens that you see them in dealerships of a certain type, i.e. premium. Personally, I continued with my request and received attention from the dealership staff, but this event makes me reflect a lot. Also because I have considered it several times the potential purchase of a Tesla Model Y. Could you give me some plausible explanation, without causing panic among TESLA owners, which always remains an excellent vehicle in my opinion?“. Sandro Quaranta
There is still mistrust towards second-hand electric cars
Answer. We have no news of such a policy. What we know, from the experiences of other readers, is that there are still dealers rather suspicious towards of used electrical equipment in general. Not just Tesla. There are those who don’t withdraw or those who, if they really have to, propose ridiculous prices. As reported, for example, from another reader from Turin who was esteemed for his Volkswagen ID.3 of 2021 right from Tesla. Feeling offered the misery of 9,500 euros. To date, however, the owners of Model Y And Model 3 they don’t seem to have any difficulty selling directly on second-hand car sites. We have generally been able to verify this ourselves with the published offers in our Section Used Electric, moreover with rather high prices. Let’s see if other Tesla owners intending to sell have had the same experience as Sandro…
