Find one. Prep your home. Learn the car.

Everything we wish someone had told us before clicking "Order" on a Tesla — where to actually find a used one, how to know if your home can handle Level 2, and how to drive the thing once it shows up.

Find one

Pre-built searches across Tesla used inventory, eBay Motors, Hertz EV sales, Manheim, and more. VIN lookup, options decoder, and watchlists.

Prep your home

Can your panel handle a Wall Connector? What wire size, breaker, and conduit you actually need. What to tell your electrician — and what not to do.

Learn the car

Owner's manuals by year, official service docs, and curated touchscreen tutorials. The stuff Tesla doesn't make easy to find.

Why this site exists

Tesla sells the car. The dealership handoff is one hour. By the end of it, you're driving home with a $40,000+ machine you don't really know how to use, and a 90% chance that your house can't charge it at full speed.

That's the gap. Tesla's documentation is good but scattered across a dozen subdomains. Charging guides are written for electricians or written by people selling chargers. Used-Tesla hunting is fragmented across six different inventory sites.

FindMyTesla is the consolidated brief for the rest of us — especially the crucial pre-delivery weeks when there's actually time to get your home ready.

The pre-delivery checklist

If your Tesla is ordered but not yet delivered, work through these in order:

  1. Assess your home's electrical capacity — 5 minutes, no electrician needed yet.
  2. Run the calculators — charging cost, EV vs gas savings, what circuit you actually need, road trip planner.
  3. Get electrician quotes — using a checklist that tells you who knows EVs and who's guessing.
  4. Install the circuit and Wall Connector — ideally before delivery day so you can plug in immediately.
  5. Watch the official Meet Your Tesla videos — covers shifting, charging, and the touchscreen.

For used-Tesla buyers

If you're shopping rather than waiting on delivery, the Find side has dedicated tools:

  1. Year-by-year guide — every Tesla model year reviewed. What changed, what broke, verdicts on which years to buy.
  2. Pre-purchase inspection checklist — interactive 65-point list. Save progress, print, bring to the seller.
  3. Find one — pre-built searches across Tesla, eBay, Carvana, AutoTrader, Hertz, and more. VIN decoder.
  4. Battery degradation estimator — what should the range actually be on a used car at this age/mileage?
