How do you trade in a car for a Tesla?

I’m looking to trade in my old car and buy a new Tesla. Does Tesla allow trade-ins? If so, how does it work?

The process of trading in a car for a Tesla is actually pretty straightforward. Start by going to the Tesla trade-in calculator online to submit your vehicle’s information.
Trade values are determined based on:
  • Vehicle
  • History
  • Mileage
  • Age
Non-Tesla trade-ins are evaluated based on market data utilizing the industry standard. You can compare Tesla’s offer with your car’s value in
Kelley Blue Book
to determine whether or not you think you’re getting a fair deal.
Then, when you place your order for your new Tesla, you can submit the trade-in details to your Tesla account. From there, you’ll schedule a drop-off time to hand over your old vehicle.
