Electric vehicles (EVs) are rapidly gaining popularity in the U.S. Tesla is the leading EV brand and includes a range of options. But cost keeps them out of reach for many people. Fortunately, you can purchase a used Tesla at Hawthorne Auto Square at a reasonable price.
At our buy here, pay here used car dealership, we offer customers many advantages when they purchase a high-value car such as a Tesla. These include:
- High-quality, low-mileage vehicles that have passed rigorous inspections
- A 30-day, 1,000-mile warranty plus an extended 6-month warranty option
- Competitive financing, regardless of your credit or type of income
Why Select a Used Tesla?
A used Tesla is more affordable than a new vehicle. But given the brand’s reputation for durability, you can get as much out of it as a brand-new model. Some estimates put the Tesla’s lifespan at 25 to 30 years. The car’s longevity is partly due to fewer mechanical parts that can break down.
Plus, you help preserve the environment. Automobile production involves raw material usage and carbon emissions. Transporting the vehicle from the manufacturer to the dealership uses fuel and other resource. Therefore, purchasing a used model helps with conservation.
Innovative Technology
Tesla is undeniably known for the technology it incorporates into its vehicles. Dependable nickel-based batteries only scratch the surface. If you use the autopilot mode, you can take advantage of Tesla’s self-driving features. Advanced cameras, radar, and ultrasonic sensors collect data processed by a computer that helps the car navigate.
Tesla’s driver assistance system includes Autosteer, which keeps the vehicle in the lane at a set speed and while turning. Traffic-Aware Cruise Control automatically adjusts the car’s speed to traffic conditions and maintains distance from other vehicles based on timing. Auto Lane Change identifies vehicles in the blind spot and allows a lane change maneuver only if the lane is clear. The Autopilot system will also stop the vehicle if there’s an obstacle ahead.
Despite the myths about used electric cars, they’re long-lasting, come in a wide range of models and options, and can match or beat the performance level of gasoline-powered cars. They can also be stylish and luxurious.
How Well Do Teslas Retain Their Value?
Teslas depreciate at a slower rate than gas-powered vehicles. The average vehicle depreciates about 40% in value over three years. However, a Tesla Model 3 loses just 10% of its value, on average, over that time.
What Is the Top Mileage of a Tesla?
A Tesla battery has been known to last for 300,000 to 500,000 miles. It’s the most expensive component of the vehicle and will usually last its entire life.
Is Maintenance for a Tesla Expensive?
Teslas generally require less maintenance, as they have fewer parts, but individual services can be comparatively expensive. The parts are unique and harder to find than for other, more common vehicle brands. As a luxury brand, Tesla tends to charge higher prices for parts.
