Inventory Push Notifications

Last updated 26-Jan-2023

While many people place a custom order for their new Tesla, Tesla do not actually build to order. They build cars in batches and the orders placed are matched in the order they are placed as allocations of cars get shipped.

This matching process is however not perfect and there are often batches of inventory that become listed on the website with a short delivery lead time, typically only a few weeks, even though there are unfulfilled orders already sitting on the books for the same specification car.

At other times people may be flexible about some of the options, e.g. they may be happy with one of two colours. Buying from inventory means they may be able to get a car more quickly by being flexible whereas there is no great sense of timing when placing a custom order.

Finally, the new inventory listing includes demo cars. Tesla are notorious for not offering discounts, however the demo cars, usually listed at the end of a quarter, often come with extra features enabled at a discounted price. In Europe that might mean the EAP package is given free, or in the US that might be FSD with a few thousand dollars knocked off. If these packages are of interest to the buyer then these cars can be worth looking at.

Why instant notifications?

We currently have quite extensive inventory listings which include comprehensive filters and search facilities. We make it easy to compare new, CPO and used cars and provide detailed charts. New car inventory can, however, sell quite quickly and from our own logs we see people using technology to query our website regularly hoping to spot a new car listing. To make life easier, we are now rolling out push notifications that send a message to users as soon as we detect a new inventory listing on the Tesla website in a given country. Typically these messages will be sent within 3 mins of the car appearing on the Tesla website.

To receive these notifications you can use the links below. We offer two options, either using the Telegram and/or Discord. In the US, Discord goes down to Model and State level. If there is a country or combination not currently on Discord, then message on that platform and we'll look into adding it.

We have enabled these notifications for the most popular countries and are extending these over time. To receive the notifications via Telegram, use the appropriate links below for your country:

We also have State specific channels for the M3 and MY on Discord. If none of the above feeds matches your needs, then please feel free to contact us as we'll happily consider any suggestions.
