Hello. Looking for a used Model S. Been scouring Wikipedia, Google, TMC and CL.
What would you recommend as the best model and year for reliability and longevity?
Budget is $30K (ish)
My current order of priorities -
1) Reliability
2) Longevity
3) Range (probably no less than a 70kwh)
4) Free supercharging
5) AP
6) Long term value/minimized depreciation
The idea of a 2013 or so with recently replaced motor and battery seems like a smart buy?
Or should I go with a newer version. Seeing 2015 ish 70D and 85's still under warranty that look good too.
I've read on here the dual motors are better than single or performance?
Are there any battery sizes to avoid?
Or should I be looking at the 2016.5 and up for the MCU and AP2 and beyond? Could pull into the $40k (ish) bracket, but would rather not unless there is a really good reason to.
I see where Tesla is going with AP and FSD - this is the future. I have a Cyber on order, which will have it all, but I just don't want to spend anymore than I have to for a good MS, with or without AP right now.
Thanks. Looking forward to your replies.
