I found that Tesla's prices on their site were often better than private/third party.. and you get the 1 year warranty. So to me, it was a no-brainer. We picked up our model X for less than any private or 3p dealer had at the time.

Most private Model 3 sellers are on crack. They post their cars higher than the ones right from Tesla.

The only issue that I know of is the if a car goes back through Tesla, there is a possibility that they change or remove options. For example, a car may have had unlimited supercharging, but after going through tesla, it gets removed.
This wouldn't be an issue in a private/3p sale. Although, to be fair, Tesla tells you exactly what the car comes with, so its not like you're paying for something and then it gets taken away from you.
