Huh? I don't know of any manufacturer that doesn't sell their good condition trade-ins on their own lot. Hell, lots even buy from auction and re-sell on their own lot.

I had the same thing happen last year - went on a 2 week trip and when I came back the rear left was very low, like tire tucked in the wheel well low. I didn't notice any sagging when leaving the car for shorter periods (a day or 2). The SC replaced an air line junction and the rear left strut...

Sounds like I’ve had the same experience as most of the P85D owners on this post. I bought my ‘14 used a year ago as my first EV, and bought it because I love acceleration performance and the used P85Ds were a great value. Today, they are an even better value. I have had very minimal battery...

I went through a similar decision process last summer and came to the same conclusion. My priorities were: 1) condition, 2) options (including model / battery size). I value performance and knew I needed a PsomethingD model. There was no way I could afford a new P100D, so started looking at...

Exactly what I was thinking when I read the graph, with the exception of it highlighting that charging to 100% will degrade your battery's capacity more quickly. the 100%-40% and the 85%-25% both use 50% of the battery's capacity, but charging to 100% definitely degrades it more quickly. I set...

It's been so long since I've driven on FK510's that I can't really offer a comparison. So far the 610's have not disappointed. They're a much better value than the Michelins though, with probably 90+ % of the performance at half the price.

2 days in to my Falken FK610’s and they’re about what I expected. Slightly less sharpness on turn-in compared to the Michelin Pilot Super Sport, but overall grip is similar with a little less road noise. Bump compliance and comfort are similar. If they wear at least as good (bad?) as the...

Option 1 seems like a no-brainer to me assuming similar mileage and condition? If you hate the black interior, why not wait for an interior option that you want though? I waited about a year for the perfect car for me; you don’t want to rush in to a purchase and end up regretting it.

The problem with an 8 foot bed is that it makes the truck extremely long in a crew or even extended cab configuration. In 4 years with a Ram 1500 crew cab 5'7" bed, I hauled many sheets of drywall, plywood, dimensional lumber etc. and while I wish it could have hauled more for the occasions that...

Are you looking for a performance tire? If so, the Falken FK510 has good reviews and is available in the stock staggered sizes for around half the price of the Michelin PSS. I'm getting a set installed on Monday.

I have dual chargers on mine but wasn't specifically looking for the option when I was car shopping. I only charge at 32a at home from a NEMA 14-50 and it's never been a problem for me. The only time so far that I've used the 80a potential is this past weekend when I took a trip where...

Just about any performance dual motor S you find will have air suspension. The + is apparently upgraded dampers, sway bars, and bushings and it really does transform these cars. Think of going from a 5 series to an M5. Not quite as cushy, but still comfortable and much better feel and driving...

2013 P85+ and 2014-2015 P85D built prior to March 2015 ride completely different than other Model S' thanks to the + suspension. Drive one and see if you like it. I was really surprised how well they handle and went in to it with the same fear as you.

I just went through the same decision process and ended up with a '14 P85D. Prior to this I had a BMW M2, Audi RS5, and a BMW M3 before that. Performance and handling are important to me so I knew I needed a performance dual motor to keep me happy. For me it came down to interior, styling, and...

Yup. She doesn't enjoy driving for the most part and gets stressed out, but seems to enjoy the trunk in the S. I put my old back seat cover from my last car in the trunk, and then put her dog bed on it.
