“Greetings, owner. I’m texting you to let you know that your phone GPS location indicates you’re at work. Since your average work day is 8.73 hours, I drove myself to get some bolts tightened at the local service center 1.74 hours ago while you were at work. I shall return and park myself before...

As someone potentially in the market for a Tesla, I’m not sure I buy in to that assessment. You make the service issues sound minor. The cars are awesome - awesome enough that I’m still evaluating the trade off between a great car and bad customer service. But what I’m hearing here, in this very...

May I ask which models? I’m in the market soon and considering used Model S, Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Jaguar. I’m enthralled with the Tesla tech but don’t need all of it. For example, AP would be fun but I don’t need it. I like the idea of little service theoretically needed on Tesla but I...

That's what opening a new Gmail address is for. LOL

Was the refresh 2014?

Glad you mentioned this. I've been getting the impression that high-mile Teslas are very risky.

Wait, where? I've been looking on Tesla's site and on Only Used Tesla | A Place Exclusively Dedicated To Buying And Selling Used Teslas When I look on Autotrader it's so overstocked with Caravan that are NOT local, maybe I missed local ones.

It would be my only vehicle.

THAT I was not aware of, so thank you. Wow, there sure is a lot to take in as a potential buyer.

I think we had this discussion. LOL, sorry, too much research, it's getting jumbled together.

This is super disappointing. But isn't there still an advantage over private because at least Tesla will tack on some warranty? And how can they do that without inspection?

Great feedback, thanks! Sounds like 2014 and later is key, due to build quality? What about mileage? At what level do I need to be concerned about the battery? And what about batterygate, do I have to be at a 75+ or is that whole thing overblown?

I really don’t need a new car, I just want a Tesla LOL I’ve only just started to consider one. A great deal at $35K would be a no brainer. Maybe I’d go up to 40, 42 just to get a better car or other features. It’s hard to justify more just because I have an itch for a Tesla. I love the style of...

Although I’m much more concerned about service than I am fit and finish or small things that get fixed. The service experience seems to be frequently bad. I’m hoping to see some replies about good service experiences.

That’s such a valid point. Which is why I Hope in forums like this that some owners would post about their good experiences. Some have done that in this thread, so that’s a start.
