Hi guys,
I bought my 2014 Model S 60 non tech pkg FUSC and free premium connectivity from Tesla (was a service loaner with 12k kms on it) back in Jan 2015.....fast fwd to today, car has 295,000kms on it. I'm getting concerned about the battery pack and drive unit, hearing more and more about $20k pack replacements, which would crush me. I'm not wealthy, and I usually own cars for 12 to 14 years.
My car has been pretty good, drive unit under warranty early on, few door handles, charge port once, fuse in battery pack recently, some suspension work, and I upgraded it to mcu2 a couple years ago.
I could sell it now and probably get 20k for it and put that towards a Model Y, or keep rolling the dice and try and get another 3 or 4 years out of it.
Thoughts?
