Confirmation of our choice to go with a MS vs M3. Cargo capacity. Just got back from a 250 mile round trip to pick up 5 wheels with tires for my Sprinter van. Back seats down - plenty of room. Performance and utility!

Thanks for the clarification! Have you heard if the MCU2 upgrade be discounted now that the EMMC is a recall part?

39-64 kw. I've seen the 70's - can't remember specific conditions - maybe early in the charge cycle. Here are few sample photos from my CA - WA trip.

Thanks for the conversations (on and off this thread)! After much research, conversation and consternation, we ended up with a clean November 2015 85D AP1, fully loaded, black exterior with tan interior, included factory 19" wheels - San Jose car. Even took a trip over to the Fremont factory for...

Me in a 2015 85d wondering which months were below average (drive systems?) and hoping my November ‘15 slips into the 2016 for above average. Anyone know the drive system changes and months for 2015/2016?

I’m in the market too. Spent a ton of time researching. I’m now focused on the AP1 d cars. Test drove an early ‘16 70d recently and it had enough tech and acceleration for our needs. This is the $30k-$40k range. Having said that, there are a lot of $20-$25k 12’-14’ cars with new motors and...

Is there a drive unit chronology available? Thread here or on another site? Including data on reliability, warranty replacement frequency etc?

Not hijack the thread, but, can the 2015 MCU1 be updated to the MCU2? @ $1500? This thread has been super helpful for my used MS research, thanks.

The 70D is the direction I am leaning. The price for these is nearer to what I want to spend right now. I have not read of any serious red flags, besides potential battery or charge throttling, but this does not bother me like I am sure it does someone who bought one of these new expecting...

Thanks for the cautions on the 12’s-14’s

That was some deep reading on Batterygate. Thanks for the background. The 70d I’ve looked at has had its updates and is currently showing 223 miles range at full charge. Is it safe to assume the battery has not been throttled, considering it’s 5 years old age and still 223 miles of range at...

Thanks for the replies. The 3 felt too small for my family. The S has more room for us and gear. Any feedback on the nose cone 15’/16’ 70d? I’ve been devouring search results for the 70d here, and one person posted that it has been an extremely reliable MS and has had the fewest reported...

Hello. Looking for a used Model S. Been scouring Wikipedia, Google, TMC and CL. What would you recommend as the best model and year for reliability and longevity? Budget is $30K (ish) My current order of priorities - 1) Reliability 2) Longevity 3) Range (probably no less than a 70kwh) 4)...
