You Can Now Buy a Pre-Owned Model S at Tesla’s First Dedicated Facility

When Tesla Motors announced EV enthusiasts can purchase a pre-owned premium sedan online, a lot of people embrace the ideas almost immediately. What if we told you the company recently opened their first facility where both new and used car are available for sale?

Sure, there are a lot of people who prefer using online services to purchase their goods, but when it comes to a new car most of us feel the need to touch the vehicle before dropping the money. Whether or not this was the reason Tesla decided to have the service available in real life too, is beyond our knowledge, but according to The Orange County Register, the first Tesla new and used car sales facility is now open in Buena Park.

Located about halfway between Los Angeles and Santa Ana, the 23,000-square feet (2,136 square meters) facility is the company’s first in the region to combine a new and pre-owned sales showroom with a service department, but definitely not the last.

“We really needed to bring a bigger presence,” Jeremy Synder, southwest regional general manager, told the source. “So if you are looking for a pre-owned Tesla, you can come here and buy one right off the lot,” Synder added.

Now, this may not seem like a big deal for regular, petrol cars, but it appears that before this showroom, EV buyers in the area needed to visit the current owner to check out the a pre-owned car. It’s similar to how the real estate market functions. Seeing is believing when it comes to buying an auto, we get that, but that doesn’t mean the online service isn’t useful too.

Let us remind you the Certified Pre-Owned service allows people to surf, select and get more info on every CPO Model S in the United States. Moreover, you can choose a particular location from the filter section. Last time we checked, the network only covered 11 cities, although they did mention it will expand.
