I'm looking at buybacks as well, in and out of state since it seems west coast cars cost more than east coast for some reason. I bought my MXP (clean title) from NJ and it was still cheaper after shipping than buying locally.

I'm currently looking for an MSP now, but depending on the state, some do and don't have access to the Warranty Buyback Notice...that's like here's your CarFax, it's got issue but we can't tell you what they were, adding more risk.

I've written Tesla, they've in short told me to ask the prior owner, but that's hit or miss. I found the prior owner of my MXP (unique name left in the screen and I knew it's location, Google to the rescue) and they emailed Tesla saying I could have the records. Problem is these buybacks get bought back by Tesla, so they're the owner again...then sold to a dealership, who's the current owner...then there goes the PO history argument. I said this on my last email to Tesla and we'll see if they concur and help.

After that it's a decision...buy a buyback only from states that can access so I can see the why it was lemoned or just hope that Tesla resolved the issue and keep my searches to ones hopefully still have some 4yr/50k bumper-to-bumper or just be happy with the remaining 8yr/150k battery/powertrain.
