Nice, thanks for the write-up of your experience here. I'm definitely worried about the battery going bad and investigating 3rd party warranty companies right now. The guy still has the car, 2013 P85 with 55k miles but man...those battery packs are so spendy!

Hey everybody, figured this would be a great forum to ask about buying an older Tesla. I used to have a 2013 85 that I loved but sold it because the battery warranty was expiring and it had a ton of miles on the original battery. The one I'm thinking about is a P85 with about 50,000 miles...
