Re:Show HN: UsedTesla.io – Marketplace for used Teslas

Hi HN community,
I decided to build a marketplace for used Teslas after looking to buy a Model S myself. Most pre-owned vehicles are now sold on Facebook Groups (very noisy and aggressive) or car listings sites (incomplete information - not all packages listed, no standard format or structure to present features).
The aim is to have a list of potential buyers who receive a weekly/bi-weekly/monthly newsletter of listings.
Would love your feedback and any ideas that you’d like to see as a seller/buyer. If you want to list your Tesla, please do get in touch: [email protected] (ready to scrape the info myself).

Thanks for pointing that out, didn't see it earlier. Just to put it out here - no data/listings have been copied, I've been in touch with all owners directly, asked for permission etc.
It's my night time project, started solving my own problem that I experienced. I'm as much competition as Craigslist, Cars.com or any other site that lists electric vehicles.
