Tesla's New Trade-In Valuation Feature and Must-Have Accessories

Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you're a Tesla enthusiast like me, you're always on the lookout for the latest updates from the electric vehicle giant. In my recent video, I dove into some exciting changes to Tesla's ordering process, plus some essential accessories that every Tesla owner should consider. Let's break it down in this blog post.

Tesla's Updated Trade-In Valuation: A Smarter Way to Buy

Tesla has just rolled out a handy new feature on their ordering page: integrated trade-in valuations. This isn't a complete overhaul, but it's a smart repositioning that makes the whole process feel more seamless. Previously, the trade-in estimate was tucked away in a separate section, which could feel a bit disjointed. Now, it's right there in line with the rest of your configuration details, giving you a clearer picture of the numbers.

As shared by Raj on social media, this feature is currently available in a few states, including California, with plans to expand to the entire US and Canada next week. What's even cooler? For loyalty customers, if your trade-in vehicle's VIN qualifies for any loyalty credits, those will be automatically applied to your estimate. This means you can see a more accurate net cost before committing to a deposit.

Imagine getting a $10,000 trade-in offer for your current vehicle—now you can preview how that impacts your monthly payments, whether you're financing or paying cash. There's even a checkbox to add up to $10,500 in potential incentives directly into the deal. It's a small change, but it makes the buying experience that much better.

That said, if you're planning to sell or trade in your Tesla, always aim for the maximum value. That's why I partner with givemethevin.com. They specialize in getting you top dollar for your vehicle, all from the comfort of your home.

Essential Accessories for Your Tesla: Don't Leave Home Without Them

Now that you've got your Tesla (or you're about to), did you know it comes with zero accessories? Yep, not even a basic phone mount. But don't sweat it—I've got recommendations for must-haves that will make your driving experience safer and more organized.

In my opinion, every Tesla owner needs:

• A sturdy phone mount: To keep your device secure during those quick accelerations.
• A center console organizer: Say goodbye to losing small items in the abyss.
• An invisible underscreen station mount: My latest favorite from Joah—perfect for stashing sunglasses or other essentials.

These aren't just random picks; I use them myself! And you can get them (plus tons more) from our partner Joah. Use our promo code in the description to save money and support the channel. Joah goes beyond the basics too—they offer a wireless game controller that fits neatly in the glove box, a portable air compressor for road trip peace of mind, and even an electric scooter to zip around from superchargers without breaking a sweat.
