    Did a facetime with a local used car dealer about a car he had on the lot. Over 120k miles Model S with Raven update. But when I asked to focus on the bumpers and they showed me, he said they painted it and weren't going to tell me what paint they used (?). Everything else (lights, wheels...

    Used Model S Repairs/Service History

    Hi, y'all! Considering (yet again) a used 2014 model S with around 150K miles. Pretty nervous I'll be hit with some heavy upgrades, as it is pretty much out of warranty and I'd be paying for any battery/drivetrain stuff outta pocket as it comes closer to a quarter million miles. Does anyone here...

    Contemplating the purchase of a 2018 Model S 100D with about 30K miles. Basic warranty is set to expire in 1-2 months. I had a terrible experience with a 2020 MY I bought new. Car & service were horrible.

    Nine-year-old Tesla with the original battery, yes you should buy a used one

    128000 miles and the original battery. I can’t tell you how much I love this vehicle. I have convinced 14 people now to switch over to Tesla. Here’s my latest argument about why you should buy a used Tesla.

    What options does a MS have?

    If I wanted to buy a MS from a dealer or PP, how can I tell what options it has? I like the ev-cpo site as you can see all the options, but since Tesla has done away with the 4 yr warranty...it makes sense to shop around. So how do I tell if it has all the options I want online (without...
