Founder, WeBuyTeslas · Tesla enthusiast

Tesla has never been just another car manufacturer to me. I’ve followed the journey, the technology, the cars, the changes and the updates because I genuinely love it.

“I don’t see a registration, a mileage and an age.
I want to know the car.”

01  The difference

Buying cars and understanding Teslas are two different jobs.

When somebody brings me a Tesla, the registration is where I start. It is nowhere near where I stop.

01Which model?

Model 3, Y, S or X — four different markets, not one.

02Which generation?

Highland, Juniper, the 2021 refresh. The lines matter.

03Which variant?

RWD to Plaid. DVLA doesn’t publish it, so I ask.

04What specification?

Wheels, interior, paint, options fitted.

05What software?

And critically, whether it transfers to the next owner.

06What battery position?

Pack, history and where it sits against warranty.

07How was it looked after?

Wheels, glass, interior, service record.

08What is the market doing?

For that exact configuration, this month.

03  Why it exists

A home for people who want to deal with someone who knows.

Plenty of businesses will buy a Tesla. For most of them it is another vehicle going through a valuation system.

That was not what I wanted to build. I wanted WeBuyTeslas to be a place where the details matter, where Tesla knowledge matters, and where owners can learn something as well as get a valuation.

And ultimately, a place where great Teslas find their next chapter properly.

Assess once

Condition is worked out from what you declare, before we quote. Provided the car matches, the figure stands.

No fees

No valuation fee and no admin fee, whatever you decide at the end of it.

Say no plainly

If a private sale or a trade-in suits you better, I would rather tell you than win the car.

04  The journey

Every Tesla arrives with a story already attached.

We are not simply purchasing vehicles. We are becoming part of something that started long before us.

  1. Someone configured it
  2. Someone waited for it
  3. Someone collected it
  4. Someone had that first drive
  5. Someone lived with it, charged it, updated it
  6. Eventually, the time comes to sell

That is where we come in: understand the Tesla, value it properly, move it on. Great Teslas deserve great next homes.

05  The detail

Two Teslas that look identical can be very different underneath.

This is the part I find genuinely interesting, and the part a trade guide has no column for.

Generation changes

Model-year revisions that reset how the used market treats a car. Every variant, explained.

Battery configurations

Different packs, different histories, different warranty positions. Battery and value.

Drivetrains and hardware

RWD, dual motor, tri-motor, and the hardware generation behind them.

Software

An ownership story with no equivalent in traditional motoring. Does FSD add value?

Wheels and interiors

The choices owners made, and what they are worth later. Wheels and value.

Warranty position

Where a car sits against its cover, which buyers price carefully.

06  What’s next

Tesla never stands still. Neither will we.

New technology, new software, new versions, new ideas, new models.

What makes following Tesla interesting is that the story never really stops. I want WeBuyTeslas to keep learning, keep following the used market and keep understanding what owners actually care about — then share that openly through our guides, our valuations and the Teslas we buy.

And yes: I want to see Cybertruck properly reach the UK. Not just pictures, not just the occasional imported example — on British roads. Whether it arrives exactly as enthusiasts hope remains to be seen, but I will certainly be watching. That is what being passionate about the brand means. You follow the journey, you question things, you learn, and you enjoy seeing where it goes next. I have written up where Cybertruck actually stands in the UK.

07  Written by me

The guides on this site are mine.

Not outsourced, not rewritten from a press release. If it is wrong, it is my name on it.

Tesla depreciation, explained

Including why I will not publish a percentage I cannot evidence.

Every Tesla variant, explained

RWD to Plaid, and which of Ludicrous and Insane are actually variants.

Best place to sell a Tesla

Including a section on where we are not the right answer.

08  Asked a lot

Questions I get asked

The four that come up most, answered the way I would answer them in person.

Do you really only buy Teslas?
Yes. Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X, and nothing else. If your car is a different make I will say so straight away rather than waste your time — we also run Compare Car Offers, which works with every other manufacturer. Buying one manufacturer is the only way I can hold this much detail on generations, variants, packs and software.
Why do you ask so many questions about the car?
Because DVLA records give us the make, year and colour and stop there. They do not publish variant, wheels, interior, software or battery position, and on a Tesla those are worth real money. A system that prices from registration, age and mileage cannot see any of it. Asking is the difference between a generic figure and a specialist one — the full list is in how a Tesla valuation is built.
Will you always pay more than a marketplace?
No, and I would not claim it. If you have time, patience and a well-presented car, a private sale usually beats every trade figure including mine. If you are ordering another Tesla, a trade-in is genuinely more convenient. Where I argue for myself is Tesla-specific valuation, particularly on older Model S and X, unusual specifications and higher-mileage cars. I have written the honest comparison in best place to sell a Tesla.
What if my Tesla still has finance on it?
Very common, and not a problem. You request a settlement figure from your lender, we work from that number, the settlement is paid directly to them and any equity comes to you. PCP and HP both work this way at the point of sale. If the settlement is higher than the car is worth, that shortfall has to be cleared first — it does not stop the sale. See selling a Tesla with finance.
