Here’s the situation: my S was 5 years old and had 70k miles on it; it was a dual motor p100, so I reckon that they’ll give me maybe 50k$. So I’d really rather not pay more than 60, especially as I was planning on buying a new S plaid in another five years

Greetings everyone. My beloved Model S recently was involved in a significant Motor crash and I fear is totaled. I’ll be considering a used model S soon. Any suggestions on where is the best place to find one, balancing choice, reliability and convenience?

Police forces, particularly city ones may very well have BEV in the future, but given how heavily modified they are, I doubt it will be soon, and I highly doubt it would be Tesla. They'll get them when GM or Ford move into BEV, perhaps. I do believe that if Tesla thought it could add to...

I'll believe it when I see it -Chet

None of these cars have the range of my Tesla 'S', none have the cachet of coolness and I failed to note anything resembling a supercharger network and as they generally have less range, they are less than useful for long trips. So no, I wouldn't even consider changing my Tesla for anything...

If someone really has it in their heart to sell at 355, then can write covered calls in the meantime

I remember reading somewhere that Apple and Tesla are like the super cool boy and the most glamorous girl at the senior prom: It is inevitable that the two of them get together somehow. I think there is some truth in that observation

Actually, there is a part two to this anecdote; When I did stop and park my S, the frunk had opened as well, but not being on a lift stayed down. Guess I better get out of the habit of carrying my keys in my pocket when I am driving! Come to dwell on it, there are two other (humorous, maybe)...

So I am driving my S in to my work garage, and for no discernable reason, my back trunk Opens! Clunked the bar too. Now this was a mystery to me, but I think I solved it - I think, since the key fob was in my front pocket, the trunk opener got pressed. Has this happened to anyone else, or are...

I sure hope it would be free to people who paid for FSD. I didn't by the way; it sounded like vaporware then and it still does today, although don't get me wrong , I love my S I guess I remain skeptical about FSD. In theory, yeah, it could happen, but I am firmly in the "I'll believe it when...

This is the sort of thing that Mr Musk should be doing, in my opinion. Being positive, getting the cars to people, getting the cars made, and leaving to IR dealing with all the A******s out there who pride themselves on being so clever in shorting a company with accelerating revenue.

agree; that is why they have to be engaged and rebutted

That is what need to be said in the next CC

I only hope you are correct. As I hope i made clear I am both long the stock and a very happy Tesla S owner AND go to bed every night dreaming of watching the TSLA shorts burn (figuratively speaking). We are running real close to the margins is all...

'Course after the CC on the second I am feeling considerably less robust then I did when I posted my 'burn' comment. Ah life.....
