05/16 build date P90D with 105 battery pack

I've been researching the archives about the potential issues on these early models, & under most circumstances, I wouldn't consider it. Only reason I'm considering purchasing this vehicle is because it's being offered by the original owner, who's a close friend/customer, at a very good price, & I've known the vehicle from new. He's also letting me take it for a few days in order to evaluate it. I'm charging it to 100% as I type this so that I can see what sort of range it shows.

I'd be replacing an EV6 if I decide to move forward. So I know I'm going to lose some range & charging speed. I just need to figure out if I can live with the tradeoff. I need the additional space, & a newer X isn't an option from a budget standpoint. I don't mind the little stuff that can go wrong with these cars. I own an auto repair shop. So I can fix it as long as Tesla will sell me parts. However, I need the big stuff to hold out for the next 5 years or so.

Although I've been reading the archives, I have to admit that I don't understand some of what I'm reading. Is there any sort of FAQ that will define acronyms, & tell me how to navigate the touchscreen to find the various things being referenced?

Also, I need help figuring out what battery pack I have. I've seen threads defining the various 90 kW battery pack part numbers as 106 - V1, 107 - V2, & 108 - V3. However, the part number prefix on this vehicle's battery pack is 105. What battery pack is this, & is it as problematic as the 106 packs?

A full charge shows 227 miles of range. So I guess roughly 9% battery degradation? The vehicle has 20,500 miles, & it's never been on a SC.

Point of reference, my 05/16 build 90D with the "105" battery is at 230 miles (@100%). But, I have ~73k miles. Also interesting that yours has never been on a SC, yet it should have free lifetime unlimited super charging.

you really should check with 057 Technology about a warranty for the battery. That is certainly the most expensive thing that can go wrong with it. Since you are mechanically inclined and capable you can probably fix even the falcon Wing doors, but the battery that's a whole another thing.
