    High Mileage Rental 3

    You guys think same trim M3 but like a 2021 or a 2019 at 80K miles (ish) for the same price would be a safer bet to get into? Or should we avoid something like that as well?

    High Mileage (previous rental) Used Model 3

    Would it be worth checking out a 2019 for the same trim and price but with only around 80K miles on it? It's gotta be 25K or less. The only way I can make it work is with the used tax credit unfortunately :/ Really appreciate the help. Thanks!

    High Mileage Rental 3

    Sorry, left that out haha. I think the 110k mile one after the tax credit would be like $18,500 and the 114k mile one would be like $17,500. I'm seeing some other 2022s or 2019s that are also LR AWD and are only in the 80Ks of miles for similar prices..... and given what @afadeev has advised...

    High Mileage Rental 3

    That's it. The interior was in good condition. Especially considering it was a rental with over 100k miles on it. It didn't look "beat to hell".......... drove and handled absolutely fine. Accelerated and braked just great. Everything worked nicely when my wife and I took them out to test. Also...

    High Mileage Rental 3

    I know there's a lot of talk about this these days, so I apologize if this is redundant, but long story short: Rental Agencies are selling a lot of their M3 inventory. A lot of that inventory has landed at a really friendly and transparent used dealer near us that we trust and like. We're...

    2012-2015 Refurbished Battery Experience

    Hi, everyone. Any 'vintage' model S owners out there that needed a HV battery replacement? I know that the dreaded $20K price tag is always affiliated with such an issue, but I've heard Tesla offers refurbished battery replacements. Anyone who's got refurbished ones, are they any good? What was...

    Used Model S Repairs/Service History

    Well everyone I can’t begin to thank you enough. This has been quite the journey and I appreciate all the support, advice, and shared experiences. That said, my wife shut this down pretty hard 😂 I don’t think it’s all bad though. It’s probably wise to stay away from a potential time bomb even if...

    Used Model S Repairs/Service History

    Alrighty, folks I just got back from the test drive and have some interesting insights. It has premium connectivity and free supercharging for life which was probably a given. Confirmed 230ish miles of range on a full charge. Overall condition of the vehicle itself was pretty great considering...

    Thanks! How do I put it into service mode? What would I look for? (I’ve never seen service mode’s interface before)

    Might be going to test drive it later today. Besides the stuff that @blodg1 mentioned is there anything else you guys think I should look out for or inquire?
