How can someone save $30K in fuel with just 97K miles. A typical ICE 25 MPG fuel cost for 97K miles is $11,640 assuming gas price at $3. Your tesla has to generate fuel money to reach $30K saving. Maybe you mean $3K. But it also sounds too low over 97K miles.

is this a plaid? A brand new MX is 74K after tax credit. As far as those issues, your only luck is to ask them if they will fix it under warranty. Should do a thorough inspection before finalizing the purchase.

Huh, a filthy 2021 with 25K miles still cost $33K. There was an inventory sale last month with $5K off. Combine with tax credit. A new MYLR can be had around $38K.

If you got too much money in the pocket. You can always share them with me you know.

How does a guy go from a 02 honda odyssey to a MXP. Man, that jump is not just a little. Only thing I want to point out is that, MXP is just a quicker 0-60 family hauling daily. You probably will get tired of the launch after a while. If you want something special, fun and value holding. I would...

I think most of these 11 year old model S buyers are only looking for the "show". Want to be viewed as someone driving a $100K car. Whether the motor inside is as small as bicycle probably does not matter as much. This 2013 Model S does bring back memories. There was one dude I know that bought...

Free SC is definitely attractive if you use it a lot. I think that transfer was a good opportunity to upgrade. Anyway, for me, it is more about moving on to a new toy rather than saving $$. I don't stick to same cars. I know some people keep leasing the same model every 3 years. Which is just...

the seller told OP the motor was swapped with the "standard motor". Just unfortunate that OP did not really understand what it meant. I probably wouldn't either. But my point is, this car is an 11 year old beater. not the $120K MSRP Model S it once was. Well, maybe the repair bill will reflect...

He just replaced the battery for $23K and it only lasted 33K miles. I would be very pissed. But then again, I never drive my car past 100K miles. I sell it and move on to a new toy. So can't really relate. I don't think it is wrong to keep repairing old cars, just a choice I would not make. But...

You are going to sink more money into that money pit? How much have you spent so far? You are becoming the prime example of the Anti EV people's laughing stock excuse. Replace battery after another battery past warranty. What if the front motor goes next? Or other old components? I would just...

it is a 2013. 11 year old car. Who cares if the motor is not as powerful. If it works just drive it until it breaks. The car is worth what? $10K? You may run into a major repair soon and scrap it.

I vote for charging to 90%. Problem solved.

if vibration/rattle noise warrants a warranty buyback, I think tesla will go bankrupt. You will have better luck trying to fix it yourself than their lazy employers. if you can't handle the noise anymore, just take a financial hit and trade in for a different brand.

Nothing beats the cash as always. Tesla probably want to keep a low profile. Especially with FSD on wide open free trial recently. I wonder how much is the settlement amount.

The repair has to be done at tesla certified shop. You can file the claim directly with third party insurance or with your own insurance. The police report will have their insurance code number that you can identify. With the footage it should be an open and shut case. Remember to ask for...
