Hi guys/girls
New here, living in Hong Kong and thinking about buying a 2016 Used Model S.
There are not many available and the insurance is pretty crazy at the moment.
Models are usually 60, 60D, 70, 70D, 90D..........haven't seen any of the others 75s, 85s
A few things I've noticed when compared to USA/UK
No more free supercharger on Used car....they disable it...Confirmed by sale agent
No Premium Connectivity...disabled/cancelled
Warranty is similar...4 years/80000km from the time I pickup the car
8 year battery/drive is from the date of manufacture
No VIN number to view/check on HK website
No basic history....'Clean History' or 'Repaired'
Besides the obvious when I inspect the car before buying, what else should I do/check?
-Use the Tesla VIN search website at the showroom to check status of Repair/Recall bulletins of the car?
-Ask for history of what updates recalls etc etc have been done to the car?
-Check exterior...paint, body, wheels
-Check sunroof rubber seals??
-I need to operate ALL the electric items right? mirrors, folding, sunroof, air conditioning for smell, heat/cool seats
-Check door handle open and close with zero noise?
-Check the key/fob?
-Check main Screen, Reverse cam and other cameras?
Any other suggestions?
