Last call, let me know if you are interested.

I wonder why no one is picking it up. Mileage? Tesla is going to try and resell this for well above $50k. It makes me wonder what the resale value of these MS's is really going to be.

I think people are avoiding the earlier model S' due to a lot of issues they had. Poor(er) fit and finish issues, some huge oversights that lead to corrosion of the body, center touchscreen issues, etc... I think a lot of people are just nervous about buying a car from the 2012 and 2013 era because of that.

Tesla can sell them for more, because they're selling to people that are new to Tesla entirely. Those of us on these forums, however, know both the good and the bad about Tesla.

^ Just my two cents.

People were frustrated that they made offers and OP handled it as a bidding war, and refused to sell to out of state buyers. Plain and simple!

What body corrosion are you referring too? The front carrier mounting locations?

I'm assuming it's gone? Otherwise I would buy it asap.

At what price? Is the bidding still open?

Are you buying from Tesla as a CPO? If so, you'll be getting a warranty. Whereas, this car would only have the battery/drivetrain warranty and anything else would be out of pocket repair expense. People will pay more for piece of mind.

True that. I've been all over the map trying to figure out if I should have paid more for AWD and Autopilot. Worried that lack of AP will hurt resale. We'll see!

Thanks everyone, sold to Tesla on Saturday. Loving the Model X. The differences between the original Model S and current generation are almost too many to count. Yet the original Model S was such a great car. Amazing, any way you go.
