Tesla launched its second-hand and exchange program in Türkiye

Tesla certified second-hand program and trade-in service launched in Türkiye. The company launched two new services as of November 6. Thus, it is possible to buy a second-hand vehicle directly from the brand. It is also easier to give up your current vehicle and switch to a new Tesla.

This step shows that the company is expanding its sales services in Türkiye. Moreover, the services work based on the online ordering process. Therefore, the process proceeds through Tesla's online channel.

What's included in the Tesla certified pre-owned program?

Vehicles with less than 150,000 kilometers are included in the Tesla certified second-hand program. However, the vehicles do not go on sale immediately. Because they first go through the control and renewal processes of Tesla technicians. After these processes, they are offered for sale.

It also verifies that the vehicles have no history of structural damage or airbag deployment. Therefore, the buyer makes a decision with clear information about the vehicle's history. On the other hand, the estimated range information of the vehicle is also shared with customers before purchasing. Thus, the buyer can have an idea about the condition of the battery.

How does the additional warranty work?

The most important aspect of the program is the additional guarantee. Vehicles have remaining coverage from the New Vehicle Warranty of 4 years or 80,000 kilometers. On top of this, an additional warranty of 1 year or 20,000 kilometers is added. In other words, the person who buys a Tesla certified second-hand vehicle also gains additional coverage to the remaining warranty.

Additional warranty is based on the duration or mileage limit, whichever comes first. For example, if the mileage limit is reached early, the coverage ends even if the period has not expired. Users can also examine vehicles from Tesla's online inventory. He/she can then order directly from the company.

Exchange opportunity when buying a new Tesla

The trade-in program comes into play after a new Tesla order is created. Users can request an appraisal for their existing vehicles as part of the ordering process. Then the valuation and exchange transactions are completed.

Afterwards, the process of taking delivery of the previous vehicle and delivering the new Tesla is carried out. In this way, Tesla aims to have customers abandon their old vehicles and hit the road with their new vehicles on the day of delivery. That's why the trade-in goes hand in hand with the delivery of the new vehicle.

Both programs are valid in Türkiye as of November 6. Tesla certified second-hand vehicles can be accessed from the online inventory. Trade-in valuation is requested when ordering a new vehicle.
