I am working on this: https://onlyusedtesla.com/

A marketplace to buy / sell a used tesla.

My opinion is that Tesla is doing EVERYTHING differently. It would be highly likely that the Tesla on-board vehicle super-computer (currently made by Nvidia - leader in AV tech) could easily handle selling the used vehicle per the owner's request automatically online. All Tesla vehicles are connected to the web via LTE 24/7.

I hypothesize that a Tesla owner or Tesla could automatically upload vehicle mileage, age, options, etc. on to a dedicated used tesla website. Perhaps onlyusedtesla.com can be an exclusive website to Tesla (the company) through a strategic partnership. (know a guy who know's a guy?) can you get me an intro? anyone have elon musks email?

Are you making it so tesla cars literally sell themselves?

Tesla owner needs to cash out and sell his tesla. Opens my app and gets an offer OR uploads to get offers from buyers. I am not sure. What do you think?

Could be helpful to people. Not sure how often it would be used though, since tesla also sells there own used cars. You could also try to scope outside of Tesla's as well. Tesla may have a great computer in it, but alot of cars have computers in it. I'd says start with tesla definitely (since you seem to have already started :) ) but don't be afraid to Branch out!

Yeah so i am working on a dealer side. A dealer gets a tesla and can upload thier inventory. I found a few examples and have to figure out what is the value prop for a tesla owner who can upload his ad to cardotcom/ craiglist / autotrader and the likes. I want make it STUPID easy for a user to post an ad and get value from his $100. I am listing ( develop the market) 100 for free. I am doing it manually right now. But improving and a friend is calling all the used car dealers around here in NY to see if they want to list their used tesla inventory and we find them a shopper / send them a lead do the PPC FOR them etc....
