Since April, Model Y makes up 33 of Alba’s 51 Tesla listings and Model S 11, nine of them Plaid. If you want a used Plaid in Dubai, Alba is one of the few showrooms that has one most weeks.
The cross-posting matters for price. The same 2023 Model S Plaid with 68,000 km was listed at AED 224,999 on one site and AED 219,999 on two others. A 2022 Model Y Long Range with 76,000 km showed at AED 112,999 and AED 114,999. Find the lowest ad for the car and start from that.

Alba’s one-year warranty covers the car; Tesla’s warranty covers the battery
Alba’s site (checked 8 Oct 2026) offers a free one-year warranty on every car, which its FAQ says covers “major mechanical and electrical components for 1 year or 20,000 km, whichever comes first.” It also advertises a 150+ point inspection and 0% down payment with bank finance or lease-to-own.
On a Tesla, the warranty that matters is Tesla’s own: the 8-year battery and drive unit cover that follows the VIN. Most of Alba’s Teslas are 2022 to 2025 cars, so most should still have it. Ask Alba to show the warranty screen on the car itself, then ask in writing whether their one-year cover includes the high-voltage battery, drive unit and screen. If it excludes them, it covers little a Tesla is likely to need.
The 150-point inspection is a general one. It does not include battery state of health. Get that from Service Mode, our Service Mode guide walks you through it, or from a Tesla-aware workshop.
Alba is at Showrooms 17, 18 and 20, Al Asayel Street, Al Quoz Industrial 1, open 9:30 am to 10 pm every day.
Deposits: get the refund terms in writing first
When we first reviewed Alba in April, the clearest pattern in public buyer reports from 2023 to 2025 was deposit disputes: buyers paid to reserve a car, the car went to someone else, and the refund was slow or refused. Other reports described damage repairs found after the sale. Alba also has many satisfied buyers. We have not re-checked review sites since April.
The fix costs nothing. Before any deposit, get one page in writing that names:
- the VIN and agreed price,
- how long the car is held for you,
- a full refund if the car is sold to someone else, if finance is declined, or if an independent inspection finds a fault,
- how fast the refund is paid.
Get bank pre-approval before you visit, so you are not asked to “hold” a car with cash while finance is pending. If the sales team will not write those terms down, walk.
Four Tesla checks before you sign at Alba
- VIN and spec. Get the VIN and decode it with our VIN guide. Confirm factory, build date and that it is a GCC car. Our GCC vs import guide shows the paperwork check.
- Model Y build window. Three of Alba’s six Model Ys on 8 Oct were 2022 Long Range cars. Check whether yours was built before or after October 2022, when the suspension changed. Our used Model Y guide explains why that moves the price.
- Software. Check Controls, then Software, for what is on the car. A listing that says “Autopilot” may mean basic Autopilot. Our FSD guide explains the tiers.
- Accident history. Ask for it in writing and get an independent body check on anything above AED 150,000.
What I would do at Alba Cars
I would shortlist a 2023 Model Y or a Plaid at Alba, find the cheapest ad for that car across sites, and price it against the live cohort on our price index. Then the VIN, the warranty screen and Service Mode. No deposit without the written refund terms above.

Alba Cars questions, answered straight
Does Alba Cars sell Teslas?
Yes. On 8 Oct 2026 we counted 9 Teslas for sale there, mostly 2022 and 2023 Model Y, plus a Model S Plaid, a Model 3 Performance and a Cybertruck. Median ask AED 112,999.
What warranty does Alba Cars give?
A free one-year warranty, 1 year or 20,000 km, on major mechanical and electrical parts, per its site. On a Tesla, confirm the Tesla battery and drive unit warranty on the car itself, and ask in writing whether Alba’s cover includes EV parts.
Can I get my deposit back from Alba Cars?
Public buyer reports from 2023 to 2025 describe deposit disputes. Get the hold period and the refund conditions in writing before you pay anything.
Is Alba Cars an official Tesla dealer?
No. It is an independent luxury used-car showroom. Tesla does not sell through third-party dealers in the UAE.
Why does the same Tesla show different prices on different sites?
Alba posts each car on several sites and the asks do not always match. We saw gaps of AED 2,000 to 5,000 on the same car. Start from the lowest one.
