    Autopilot for a 120 miles daily commute: is it realistic?

    Ok but my question was more: can I purchase an Extended warranty and/or and extended service agreement for a preowned car, either bought with Tesla as a CPO or with a third party?

    Autopilot for a 120 miles daily commute: is it realistic?

    That's actually something I've been struggling to get a straight answer about (and I can't just phone up a Tesla rep on Easter weekend...): my understanding was that a warranty extension was only possible if ordered by the initial owner of the car, and wasn't possible if I bought it preowned...

    Autopilot for a 120 miles daily commute: is it realistic?

    Mmhh, I might better have to go for one of the 2 most recent preowned models I've found then (a 2015 S85 or a 2016 S70). Pity because I really liked that red 2014 S85 :rolleyes: (on the other hand, one would assume that if the battery, drive unit or charger were bound to fail on that one, they...

    Autopilot for a 120 miles daily commute: is it realistic?

    I'm not really worried about the battery or the drive train. I'm more concerned about all the menial repairs that will inevitably occur the older (and used) the car will get. I hear that replacing a faulty door handle can get quite pricey really quick if not under warranty (and not an uncommon...

    Autopilot for a 120 miles daily commute: is it realistic?

    I've actually considered a combination of train + Uber, if only for the sake of not leaving any stone unturned. Bottom line: I'd rather buy myself a fully specced P100D because it would have about the same monthly cost as the Uber fares. Admittedly, I wouldn't still be able to work (and that's...

    Autopilot for a 120 miles daily commute: is it realistic?

    With my hands on the wheel at all time of course ! I KNOW it's not even a semi-autonomous car already.

    Autopilot for a 120 miles daily commute: is it realistic?

    I hear you. For the past 8 years or so I've been commuting by train to Central London on and off and it actually never really bothered me as it was always a good opportunity to read, catch up on some series, do some web browsing etc, and more generally to unwind after a day at work. But train...

    Autopilot for a 120 miles daily commute: is it realistic?

    First of all, apologies if you already saw the same question on some other Tesla forums, I'm trying to gather as much feedback and opinions as possible. :oops: So, I will be starting next month a long term contract in London which will see me driving there for at least 120 miles each working...
