    Not Available General interest in salvage model 3 cars for under $25K ($21K after tax credit)?

    What is the best way to see all the Tesla inventory? I'm a pilot and have the ability to fly anywhere to pick up a car and would do it, but it seem like I can only see in my local area.

    Ha! I’m fancy now! My first car was a 1992 Volvo 960! What can I say? I’m doing day trips! I gotta replace my 08 Ridgeline with something that has AC!

    Actually- you’re gonna hate this- but this is 100% a commuter car and I was SHOCKED at the model 3 rear motor- that thing is super healthy. And I found one on Autotrader for 21k! So now my head is even spinning more!

    I completely understand what you're saying; but I will say this, just like aviation (and I see this a lot) people do read and then they go out and look at cars, or airplanes, and what you've read doesn't match up with what you're thinking. So it can seem like I'm just twisting in the wind, but...

    Thank you sooo much! I hadn't had time to really look at the video as I'm between flights, but I think I'm going to let this car go... stinks... but thank you too much for pointing that out.

    Help!! New member and I don't know if this is a good idea!

    So I was able to get the dealer to take it out for a bit and followed this exact procedure- he was in Ludacris + mode (according to him) and floored it and from the video it shows about 363 watt/hr. Does that seem like it’s a little low? It shows about 226 battery with about 97% full. Here is a...

    Hi everyone- I received this from the old owner- the dealership has been outstanding trying to get as much info. I’m not sure if this good? Is it a decent idea to cycle a battery? I never talked to or knew the old owner. The car come from Dallas. I bought it certified preowned through Tesla...

    It did get an MCU2 upgrade and I'm not sure if it has a FM Radio. Would that be a big deal breaker for you personally?

    Help!! New member and I don't know if this is a good idea!

    Thank you sooo much for this thoughtful response! It’s tough since the car is in KY and I’m in AZ. I’m going to research if there is any inspection services they can do that test

    Help!! New member and I don't know if this is a good idea!

    Thank you very much for this thoughtful reply- so seeing 225 miles with a 253 that is about an 11% degradation of battery- is that a pretty good sign? Is battery degradation the best indicator of battery health?

    Can you tell me more about the 90 batteries? What make you think that? I did post the battery sticker and what the SOC charge is. What do you think of it?

    Help!! New member and I don't know if this is a good idea!

    Good point; the thing that stinks is I'll always know for a little more cash I could massively different ownership experience.... damn I hate the old car, is well... old. Or if it had a new battery and motor... shoot. The car I found for 28k that is a 2017 75D seems like it's in decent shape...

    Help!! New member and I don't know if this is a good idea!

    I actually did get the sticker off the car and I think it's a V1 battery pack... not good. I think? Also here is couple if pictures from the battery, any insight is this is a crappy car?

    Help!! New member and I don't know if this is a good idea!

    These are all super fair points and I totally understand, however my budget is around the 30k mark and that car you described just doesn't exist. And that the fundamental problem with an older car; as they age, the price comes down but I keep hearing how you can't keep them for these motor and...

    Hi, Do you guys cover the HV battery? And what the cap on milage?

    Help!! New member and I don't know if this is a good idea!

    In a quick summery; which do you prefer? I guess I should share my use case. Life has changed a little, and I currently have to drive to work 3 to 4 times a week which is 80% highway for about 15 miles one way. I know this is overkill for either car, but mannnnnn the push of that P85D I test...

    Ahh cool! Have you had any problems with it? Any major issues come up? And how much charge does your battery still hold?

    Ahh very good! It's a dealership so I don't mind paying for them to lift the car and take a peak! Thanks for the pointers!

    Help!! New member and I don't know if this is a good idea!

    Hi! Thanks for the heads up; how can you tell what battery it currently has? And is there any way to prevent the leaks from happening? I'll dig up some more info on it, but can you shed a little light on these problems? Do the P85D's have the same issues?

    Help!! New member and I don't know if this is a good idea!

    You make some fantastic points... I do live in PHX and I believe there is an independent shop that services Tesla's HV batter (Gruber Motor's? I have to do a little more digging into this). But you make excellent points. I have't seen the car as it's out in KY and I live in AZ, but I would of...

    Hi everyone! If I may ask for the help of the Tesla think tank (and please be kind- this is my first post and I promise I'll poke around and learn more- I'm a dork pilot who loves technical stuff! and time is sorta of the essence) I was wondering if this is a good idea to buy: 2015 P90D (it's...
