Tesla sells directly rather than through a franchised distributor, which changes the buying experience more than most people expect: fixed prices, no negotiation, and service booked through the car's own screen rather than a dealership switchboard. The two volume cars have both been reworked mid-life rather than replaced, so a current one differs from an early car in more than software.
Work out whether you need the hatchback, then compare the new price with the used Teslas listed now.
