Eh, I am not a low maintenance person. My center console on my current car holds my charging network cards, a emergency glass-breaker, extra sunglasses, Kleenex, etc. I plan on springing for Teslas console if I end up with a CPO without one.

If you'd have never owned a Tesla, would you buy a CPO MS today?

Yeah, since I'm a girl with a purse I have less need for storage in the car i guess!
Maybe you need a bigger purse...lolLOL, so am I! Sigh, I guess I really AM high maintenance.
I added the console because it wasn't standard last December and I don't regret it. However, I admit that not having it would provide a nice place for my purse.
Me too. I have a lot of things in the console that I can't always carry in a purse. It also ensures that my car stays tidy.LOL, so am I! Sigh, I guess I really AM high maintenance.
Sunglasses, Kleenex, wheel nut key, charging cables, ibuprofen, extra pair of earrings (in case I run out and forget to put on some) hand lotion, headsets, money, concealed weapon (Texan here). The glove box just isn't large enough.
I am also an Model 3 reservation holder, like everyone else in the world. My girlfriend and I considered the crazy lease deal, lsot a car while in the showroom on Friday. We are waiting for the release of the Model 3 design next year and then going to decide. If I had someone paying my monthly payment I would have likely jumped on the lease.
We are very likely to try and jump into someone's CPO P85D, I know a small amount of these, or pick up a CPO P90D, Ludicrous is something I guess I can live without. We certainly do not need a big car, thus the reason for us looking at the Model 3, but I worry about how the options will appear. I also know I am not going to buy the base Model 3, but I will buy the top performance one likely.

I think that fall 2014 production was a big inflection point, as that's when both AWD and Autopilot hardware were introduced. And a car from that date forward is going to have a higher probability of being reliable than earlier cars. For me the AWD was a big selling point, and the marketplace has spoken loud and clear that it values Autopilot highly for resale purposes. I'm retired so perhaps the Autopilot is less critical to me than most users. I would be using it a lot if I were still commuting on SoCal freeways.
I live in socal and was in the exact same situation (left that job though, RIP reimbursement). I bought a non-cpo used Tesla, and I drove the *sugar* out of it. Bought it with 52K miles in July of 2015 and I have 88K miles today. My only regret was not waiting for the CPO site to reach maturity, there were better deals on the CPO site in terms of features and addons. 2013 you will probably have DU issues, noises/milling/etc. I had 3 swaps all under warranty, last one has worked for 15K miles with no issue.
I would make sure you have the right revision on the motor ahead of time to prevent those issues. Other than that, if you can get a good deal, go for it!
as of 2 PM CST (drum roll please)--- I bought it!

Would you mind elaborating a bit on "DU issues, noises/milling/etc" and "the right revision on the motor" as I have my eye on a CPO 2013... Thanks.
I forget which revision it is, someone else on here can probably communicate that better than I. I just had the DU "clunk" twice, and a weird power failure for like .25 seconds once a day when changing from park to R or D. So three replacements, all recommended by Tesla after I described the issue.

I've put almost 8k miles on in 2 months. Truly a dream...No issues whatsoever with the car. Just learning the issues that come up with cold temperatures and 40mph headwinds we deal with here in the flatlandsSo..... how is it?
