Is a 100K+ mile Tesla reliable? +
Yes. Tesla drivetrains have almost no wear parts — no transmission, no timing belt, no exhaust system. The battery is the main concern, and we verify every one with a service-read SOH report. Most 100K+ Teslas still have 80–88% battery health. The motors are rated for 500K+ miles.
What about range anxiety? +
Even our highest-mileage cars get 200+ miles of real-world range. The average American drives 37 miles/day. You'll charge at home overnight and rarely think about it. For road trips, Tesla's Supercharger network has 17 stations within 30 minutes of Paterson — the most extensive fast-charge network in the country.
What does maintenance cost? +
About $150–300/year. No oil changes ever. Brakes last 150K+ miles because of regenerative braking. Main items: tire rotation ($60–80, every 10K mi), cabin air filter ($30 DIY, every 2 years), brake fluid ($100, every 4 years). That's it. Compare to $800–1,200/yr for a typical gas car.
What's Free Supercharging? +
Tesla offered free Supercharging on certain Model S and Model X vehicles between 2012–2017. Some VINs have
unlimited free Supercharging for life, while others have
limited free credits (a set number of miles or months). The perk is tied to the VIN and transfers to the new owner. We verify the exact status of each car before sale —
call us to confirm what type a specific car has before you buy.
Can I finance with bad credit? +
We work with lenders who handle sub-600 credit scores — including buy-here-pay-here options. With our price range ($10K–$25K), the payments are often lower than you'd expect. Call
855-VOLT-LOT and we can run a soft pre-qual in 5 minutes with no credit impact.
Can I return the car if I don't like it? +
Yes — 7-day return guarantee, no questions asked. Drive it for a week. If it's not for you, bring it back. We'll also let you test drive as many cars as you want before committing.
Book a test drive and see for yourself.
