Rare Tesla Model S Flip: Dealer Seeks Massive Premium for Final Production Unit

The Gist

An enterprising dealer is testing the market's appetite for history, listing one of the final Tesla Model S units ever built at a $100,000 markup.

In a bold move within the secondary electric vehicle market, a dealership has listed one of the last Tesla Model S units ever produced with a significant price increase. The listing seeks to capitalize on the vehicle's status as the 'end of an era' for the long-standing sedan.

A $100,000 Premium

The seller is currently asking for a premium of approximately $100,000 over the original MSRP. While the Model S has been a cornerstone of the EV revolution for over a decade, it remains to be seen if collectors view the final production units as high-value assets similar to rare internal combustion engine classics.

This 'flipping' attempt highlights a growing trend in the EV sector where early or final production chassis numbers are treated as investment pieces. However, with Tesla's frequent software and hardware iterations, the definition of a 'final' model can often be fluid, making this ambitious pricing a significant gamble for the dealer.
