2012 Signature Red Tesla Model S P85 Low miles, MCU2, FUSC, LTE Free Connectivity - $45K

[shrink]

Own a piece of history. Selling my 2012 Signature Red Model S P85 VIN 588. I am the second owner and purchased as a CPO in 2017. The car has been very well maintained and remains in great condition. Just had 2-year service done in 6/2022 and put in a new 12V battery. Mileage is only 37,958, which is only about 3800-4000 miles per year.

For those unfamiliar, these signature cars came fully loaded (although jump seats were optional and this car does NOT have jump seats):

Pano Roof
Adjustable Suspension
Premium Audio
Tech Package
Alcantara
Rare Signature White leather interior with alcantara accents
Carbon fiber spoiler
Homelink
21" Turbines (came with silver, but I have since powdered coated glossy black)
Free Unlimited Supercharging for life (fully transferable)
Free Premium Data Connectivity for life

During my ownership, I have added the following OEM upgrades:

LTE data
TPMS sensors that show actual tire pressure (originally only used to give low pressure warning)
MCU 2 with FM Tuner
Center console
Rubber mats
Sun shades for pano roof

Minor modifications include:

Front and Rear BlackVue Dash cams (hardwired)
Powdercoated glossy black 21" turbine wheels (one has bad curb gash; one may have minor curb gash) with Vredestine Quatrack Pro all seasons
Chrome has been blacked out with black vinyl wrap (and is fading in a few small areas)
Clear bra on full front - minor damage to driver's side fender, but to the film and not the car or paint - PPF did its job
Window tint - don't ask me me %. I have no idea. I bought it like that from Tesla and to be honest it appears a little too dark for legal limits in my state, but I've kept it with no issues

Full disclosure: Battery capacity looks low, but I think it's in much better shape than what the rated miles currently reads. I'm getting about 152-155 miles of rated range at 70%. But I've been driving EV's for over 10 years. I plug in whenever not in use, charge at night, and limit to 70%. My daily round trip commute on city streets is just over 4 miles. I honestly don't drive much father very often. So, I think the BMS needs some calibration and some cell balancing probably needs to take place.

I can share my full service history during my ownership with serious buyers.

This car still gets compliments and questions - especially because of the signature red color, which many have not previously seen. Car runs great and has been very reliable. Only selling because my R1T has been made and is sitting in Normal, IL awaiting transport.

I'm currently traveling and won't be back in town until this weekend. I'll post current pictures when I get back, but for now here are some older photos.

Okay, massive photo drop. These pictures were just taken within the hour. A few things to point out:

- Forgot to mention this car has dual chargers, so up to 80 amp charging at Level 2 is possible
- Interior has beautiful carbon fiber accents
- I also added the OEM phone Qi charger in the center console

- There is pretty bad curb gash on the front passenger side wheel. I can get this fixed or replaced. I take all my wheels to a shop locally that the local service centers use for rim repairs.
- There is minor curb damage to driver's side rear wheel. I can also get this fixed.
- The other 2 rims are damage free. If someone is interested, I can get the wheels powder coated back to OEM silver or gray, but I'd only pay for the repairs to the 2 damaged wheels. The buyer would be on the hook for the other two wheels. Like I said, the local Tesla Service Centers here use this shop for repairs. It is OEM quality.
- The pictured paint protection film damage is at the top of on the driver's side front wheel well. It's small, no dents, and the paint underneath is just fine.

Thanks for looking. Please let me know if anyone has questions.

A few final notes - if you're local, there is no sales tax on private party sales in the State of Arizona. I think that applies to a few other states as well, but don't ask me which ones.

Clean title in hand. No accidents. No liens.

For comparison, this is what the car looked like when I bought it as a CPO from Tesla in 2017. I like the blacked out look much better, but it's pretty easy to go back to the stock look if you prefer it. The "Signature" script on the sidemarker is currently covered with black vinyl as part of the black out look.

SOLD.

It was hard to let go of the car. Loved the rare color combo. However, it has a great new owner.

@shrink you have excellent car taste. Sorry to see you sell your very pristine looking Sig P85 (never selling mine). In addition to the vehicles in my signature, I have a Rivian R1S on order (and I have a gas BMW M car)
