2015 with 26k miles. But given everything I've read about the reconditioning process and the warranty, I wasn't worried about the mileage.
Public sites. Although my CPO Advisor did end up sending 3-4 unlisted cars my way.
Oh man. A 90D with less than 1k miles has popped up for only $80,500:

Choices, choices...

So you lose SAS, Subzero, and $10,500 from your checking account and gain 25,000 miles and a bit of range. And the car is a bit closer, but still $2000 delivery.
MSRP on that build was $100,000 so even with no tax credit it's a nice discount. It's been available for 2 months but price was reduced $1700 so it might generate some interest.
You will likely make up a good part of the price difference when you sell it.
So I guess I would take it over your 85D. Probably will have fewer problems too.

Maybe? Part of me wonders why it has so few miles on it. I'm going to get the paperwork and see if it's been in a wreck or something.
I think it's a May build. It could have been sold as an inventory car 3rd quarter and traded in for AP2. I don't think you will have anything to worry about. Of course, see what Tesla says.
@carter_seattle Another 85D. $2500 more than yours but 15,000 fewer miles and no SAS. Chicago vs New York, not that it will save you any money.

Yup, saw it when it came in. Barring an issue with the vehicle that would cause me to refuse delivery, I think I'm set with the car I've ordered. But it's fun to look
A few factors drove my decision:
* Wanted a bigger battery
* Didn't mind CPO due to reports of reconditioning process and warranty.
* Factored in lower % depreciation.
* Didn't mind mileage due to electric drivetrain and lack of moving parts.

I should be set with my car for a while but if they offer $40,000 off on a P100D I'll be all over it.
So I keep looking.I can now say that the All-Season Goodyear Touring is a marginal tire for snow and cold. You probably have a different tire but with similar tread. Wish I had the Nokian WRG3. Winter-rated but works well at 80°.
Be happy you have the 85D. The last couple days I've gotten 0.6 miles actual per mile of estimated range. Cold sucks.
The second car in my signature - S 90D. Since it was a September build I have the new Goodyear Eagle Touring all season with sound insulation.

Just getting some experience with this today.
This week I had a long commute, one in which I would show up to work with 20% SOC (battery state of charge) in my 60D (charged to 100% the night before), and right now I have a loaner while it's in for service, and this P85D loaner at 100% SOC leaving home left me with 50% SOC at work. I then decided to drive it for a huge distance to a very far away place, and back again, and I realized that the whole time, I had WAY more battery level left than in my 60. 85 / 60 = 1.41, so 41% more than the 60. That works out to a huge amount, though, in terms of distance: it literally breaks through most of the problems I have with running out of charge during trips or commutes that exceed the capacity of the 60. I think the reason it does this is that it breaks through the maximum amount of time any person can sit in a car without getting cramped up, thus most commutes and long distance drives as well as SuperCharger spacings are designed to fall under those cramping up time periods, whereas the 60 battery will run out of charge before you even cramp up, meaning it will often run out of battery within normal traveling distances.
If anyone does have the money to get at least an 85 as opposed to a 60 and like me goes on a lot of long distance drives and commutes, trying to save money by getting a cheaper battery is most likely a horrible idea. I get home hours later often when faced with empty battery conditions. Of course, in my case, that wasn't a consideration, as I simply didn't have the money at the time. (That's why I'd rather have a healthier battery changing marketplace, unlike what Tesla wants (who would rather you trade your car in); I asked them the trade in value of my car, and it was already $20,000 less than the purchase price, so that's a ridiculous notion from Tesla.)

I wonder who picked this one?
Anyone know if new owner on this board?
The back passenger seats only used 4 times to give friends initial test ride.
Always in the garage except on trips.
