Looks like a nice deal at 71k esp with FSD. I'd be PMing you if the timing was right at my end. Regardless, here are some typical questions for a used Plaid: What # set of tires is it on, how are the tires, and any lowering/links/cams, and any noticeable shimmy/vibrations?

@Deaf Paul, thank you for the comment. I am the 2nd owner for this Tesla, and I have owned it for the last 20,000 miles. The tires were brand-new when I bought the car from a dealership, but they were not the "EV" tires with acoustic foam. I replaced the tires after with EV tires after ~10,000 miles. Current tires have about 10,000 highway miles on them. There have been no customizations to the suspension or wheel components (no lowering/links/cams), and I have never had an issue with shimmy/vibrations. When I clean up the car this weekend to take better photos, I'll take tread measurements and provide tire condition checks.

For anyone interested, I just purchased a CARFAX report for your convenience. It is attached to this comment.

Sweet ride, And shout-out for the awesome round steering wheel!
This is a sweet deal, I just bought a near identical LR without FSD in September for about the same money. (I'd be at your door right now if I hadn't!)
GLWS!

Rain finally cleared, and the car has been cleaned up. I added some photos to the original listing, but due to 6 file limitation here are some more.

For interested buyers, I paid off the loan on Thursday, 2/8. Based on past experience, I should have the title in hand within 2 weeks.

Price reduced to $69,900. This is the lowest-priced Model S Plaid with refreshed lights and FSD in the country!

Do you know if the rear bumper cover was repainted at some point?

No paint or body work whatsoever that I'm aware of other than the paint correction, ceramic coat, and PPF. Carfax vehicle history report is also clean.

For Tesla, it is common for the white panels to have slightly different shades due to how paint reflects on plastic vs metal panels (I've owned 3 white Tesla), but it's not as noticeable in person in my opinion.

That is normal for white pearl paint when there is a transition between painted plastic and metal. It all depends on the lighting condition.

is the paint peeling/chipping off on the upper front bumper?

I could be wrong here but OP said there is PPF on front bumper, this could be dirt forming underneath the film.

This is dirt that has gotten under the edge of the PPF. The PPF can be trimmed and cleaned, or replaced, and there is no permanent damage to the paint itself.

is this vehicle still eligible to purchase the extended service agreement? Also, have you had any issues with internal noises, squeaks or rattles?

 

[USMCAviator]

The vehicle is still eligible for ESA, priced at $3100 in the app. No concern with noises in the cabin.
