Hello All,
I'm about to take the plunge into the electric car mark and realistically don't wan't to go down any route that isn't a Tesla as the alternative i was just about to purchase was a Lotus Evora which i've had to punt as we just got a big puppy and an EV makes more sense given my council's decisions to make any fun petrol astronomical to own.
I've found a car that seems pretty reasonable, its a 85D MY15 with supercharging and AP1 which are really my only requirements. However, it has a few things that concern me slightly but i'm just not sure who these stack-up in an EV vs. an ICE car and more specifically a Tesla. If i saw these on my current car or the Lotus i'd probably not think much of it.
The car is a MY18 85D with 59K Miles on the clock. The guy selling is is selling for genuine reasons and a lovely chap to talk to.
Concerns.
For reference it comes without any extended warranty.
Is there anything here I should be too concerned about?
Thanks

Concerns.
- No service history. When asked he suggested that in the period he has had it he's not serviced it and he was unable to retrieve any service info from the previous 3 owners.
- Discs and Pads were replaced at 45K miles. Reading a few things online these felt a bit odd as it seems like shelf life for Tesla brakes is pretty strong. The issue of warping came up a lot online but given the lack of info on the change this feels odd.
For reference it comes without any extended warranty.
