I'm actually contemplating the same thing. Looking at newer Y or older X currently. Like a 2018 Model X P100D or a 2021 Model Y Performance. I'm trying to decide if I can live with the slower charging of the pre-Raven Model X or if I should hold out looking for a Raven instead. 90% of the time...

Yeah, after writing that, I'm leaning that way too. I was just thinking that leasing vs buying was having me lean toward the SR+, but I've been fine with leasing for a while now (basically since 2010, I've leased 3 vehicles, bought the first after the lease was up for my wife, and after turning...

I just read through this thread, and I'm kind of in the same boat. I'm looking at a few options - mainly there is a used 2013 Model S 60 with 95k on it for $26k near me, or looking at buying a Model 3 SR+ as cheap as it gets, or leasing a Model 3 LR AWD for 3 years and shopping then for...

I realize you sort of figured it out, but demo units are usually sold as new because they didn't get titled. If they were titled, which they would have been for the 7 day returns (if they file the paperwork like they are supposed to), they would have to be sold as used. Anyway, I see a bunch of...

Lol, that's true too. Like I said, if there was one in Alexandria, I'd feel pretty comfortable with the drive. The one in Fargo would help as well, again, to charge up for the drive back.

That's a good point. It's a toss up on how to save energy. More reason to get a 3...

A Better Routeplanner says going through Baxter (Brainerd) then cutting over would be the better route, though they do not allow you to specify weather. EV Trip Planner says the same route, and if I put in 10* F, I am just getting into Fargo (190 miles used on the last leg). So charging to 100%...

I'm not sure I believe that. Again, there are a lot of vehicles in the archive of ev-cpo that list no supercharging when they in fact should have it. Same with currently for sale CPOs. There have been plenty of stories here of people having options on their CPO that were not listed as well...

Funny, I've been thinking this lately too. My CPO experience started really well, but tailed off after week 3. After a couple weeks of no communication, I was browsing the CPO listings and found another car I was interested in (Performance model with a couple different features than the one I...

I am hoping the Fargo Supercharger gets going before the end of the year. My son plays hockey, and there is a big tournament in Fargo every year. I have a CPO Model S 60 ordered, and I would like to theoretically take it to that tournament from the Minneapolis area. Per the trip planning sites...

First, congrats, I hope the car turns out great! I know you and I have talked a little about this as I have the same issue with mine. Looking at ev-cpo, there are a ton of cars without Free Supercharging listed. In fact, I just looked right now, and there are 8 listed for sale without. Of those...

I wonder if this one was a cancellation? Someone bought it and changed their mind maybe. They did the refurb, and had it at whichever SC already, so you could see it and drive it, then they just had to detail it and it's good. That's pretty amazing timing!

Got a call from my DS today, he said the logistics have been entered to have it shipped, once it is, it should take 1-2 days for it to get here. His guess is 2 weeks, but it depends upon the drivers' schedules. He said as soon as he hears it is shipped, he'll give me another call to let me know...

Updates in red!! This is my timeline so far, as of last Thursday when I received my last email from them: 7/1 - I ordered late, got the auto-emails that night. 7/2 - I updated my license and insurance info in mytesla and added my trade's VIN, and sent a reply to the DS auto-email asking a...

Alright, sending a message to Brent about the availability of the new CPOs has got me some good information. He said my car will be done in the next week to 10 days, I said I can't make the trip to Denver for at least 3 weeks, so he said he'd get it set up for shipping to my local SC. Glad I...

I think it is still getting work done. That 2 weeks is if I go to Denver to get it. If not, it'll probably be an extra week or two to get here. In fact, he just asked if I am planning to pick up there or if we should get working on shipping it here. I had wanted to go there, but now my schedule...

Yeah, including forfeiting my deposit, it would add about $5k on top of my CPO. Still a good deal, but probably not worth it right now. The 60 I have coming has everything I wanted. I'll just use that savings to buy winter tires and any other accessories that I need. I just sent him a message...

And I got a response from Brent already. He said my car is on pace to be ready the middle of August (like 2 weeks) and that if I were to switch, I forfeit the deposit. He also said that the majority of the new cars out there have something missing, like no pano, no tech package, or things like...

Brent is my SA, he has been good, up to last week anyway. I sent a text too, saying I sent an email, and I'm probably just antsy... I haven't heard from the DS at all, just the automated emails from them. That P85 is nice looking, I like the pearl white with black interior, always have. If he...

Good question, I think it cannot, but don't quote me on that. I emailed my CPO SA to see first, how is my CPO doing in the process since I didn't hear from him last week, and second to see if there is anything else not listed on EV-CPO in that price range that I might be interested in. I may...

I saw that P85 for $35k, if it wasn't gone, I'd have grabbed that and figured it out later too... Edit: There is still one available for $40,400, but is missing the pano roof.

Let me know how that supercharging issue goes, that is my biggest fear with the CPO I ordered. The CPO SA said it will be, but it wasn't listed in my build. One would think that would be easy for them to check, but I don't know. Congrats on the speedy delivery!

I'd like to add that I am all aboard the EV bandwagon, I just think it'll take time for EV to catch up in some areas. Charging takes longer than refueling an ICE, that is a fact. It is taking me a while to convince my father that EV like Tesla are a great option. When I finally get my Model S...

I get what you are saying, I was talking about a race, not a track record. I guess you could race a single lap, sure. Have fun with that. I am admittedly not a huge auto racing fan (MotoGP is interesting though), but I can't think of a race that is only a single lap or otherwise short distance...

I'm with zenmaster on this. There are many hyperbolic quotes here. How many laps did the Nio do before it had to charge for a few hours? A supercar will win the race every time until charging is better as well. You can design and build a great electric supercar that will out accelerate and set a...

Interesting points about the loans, guys. Thanks for those. I just looked up NADA on the CPO I'm waiting on, and I am paying $4,350 less than NADA retail price. That makes me a little happier with my deal, and I was already pretty happy with it. To add to the thread, shipping is by zones now...

While I posted this in the other CPO buying experience thread, I thought I'd post here too since there are a couple of other Minnesotans here. This is my timeline so far, as of last Thursday when I received my last email from them: 7/1 - I ordered late, got the auto-emails that night. 7/2 - I...

I received an update today, below in red: 7/1 - I ordered late, got the auto-emails that night. 7/2 - I updated my license and insurance info in mytesla and added my trade's VIN, and sent a reply to the DS auto-email asking a clarifying question and still haven't heard back from him (holiday...

I wish I could get the free transfers. My SA said they do the fee by regions, and it is a flat fee regardless, you could be in the next state but if it is across regions, you would get charged. In my case, it's a 12-13 hour drive, 18 hours per abetterrouteplanner with charging included. I'm sure...

That sucks, my SA talked me into picking it up simply because he said it isn’t worth the $2k. I can get a flight much cheaper and ship it and save money, or like I think I am going to do, drive it back. Nice way to see some countryside and get in the driver’s seat.

Quality of the stream is another point for an app over bluetooth. I totally agree there. I think we are all on the same page, it would be nice to have either all the apps we want, or a way to use them easily such as Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Spotify, Apple Music, Google Music, Pandora...

I'm more of a bring your own music guy too. I use Google Music, mostly because I get YouTube Red with it for the same price as the other music services. If Tesla had to support all of these different services, it would likely be a pain for them to keep all of those apps updated, it is easiest...

Hi everyone, I thought I may as well post here with the beginnings of my experience as well. I've read through this, lots of good info. I ordered the cheapest Model S CPO I've seen since the big drop the beginning of June - a 2013 60 for $37,000. Pretty basic, leather, pano roof, and tech...

Thanks for the replies! I haven't had a RWD vehicle since the '90s. My last several vehicles have been either AWD or 4x4, currently driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee, which is great in the snow. Again, I appreciate the feedback!

Good point, I did a search and didn't see that one, but saw several others. Thanks for the feedback!

I am curious about how the Model S handles the snow in the upper midwest. I am in Minnesota, and while winters don't seem to see as much snow as years past, there are still a couple of good snowfalls each winter. I am a Model 3 reservation holder, and I planned on going with the D version to...
