Common problems to check on a used Tesla
Check battery health (estimated range at 100% charge), whether Full Self-Driving is included (it may not transfer), MCU/screen failures on older Model S/X, and suspension and control arm wear. Confirm warranty status: battery and drive unit are covered for 8 years.
Whatever the model, always run a VIN history report, check that the name on the title matches the seller's ID, and have an independent mechanic do a pre-purchase inspection. Use our 50-point used car inspection checklist on the test drive.
