Wait a sec, a coil S is not "bumpy as hell". It is way more comfortable than a model 3.
Another thing, my 2015 charges slowly now too. So chargegate is not limited to 2012-2014.
If you don't know what chargegate is, you have no business looking for an older Tesla.
The door handles are a minor annoyance. They kept getting better through the years. I am out less than $100 for the 2 handles I fixed. But even having Tesla doing it, new is about $350 each so your total risk is just over $1000.
You can't afford MCU2 which is April 2018. Might be as low as $1250 to replace on older car - so again, relatively minor.
Don't forget, battery and DU have 8 year warranties. Mileage limited on some. So getting a 2015 means 2 more years covered. But then, a resale hit after 2 years.
