I feel like free supercharging is one of those “nice to haves” but has little monetary value. At most I’ll supercharge the car 1-2 times a year. Even if you’re supercharging often, the cost to do
so is minimal.

Is 48k a good price for a ‘16 75D with ext warr?
- Thread starter flynnstone
- Start date
so is minimal.
It is a decent price. I paid $54k a few months back for a '16 90D, with pretty much the same features other than mine was pre-nose-cone refresh. I go back and forth all the time on whether I should have held out for an AP2 or spent a bit more to get a standard range 2019.
No matter what you can't go wrong with an S, but coming from Lexus, the one thing I really wish I held out for was the air suspension - the coil suspension is just harsh imo.

Air suspension is a wash to me with the roads I traverse. The Raven suspension, I hear, is amazing and smooth.
What would be a good list of questions to ask the advisor before i have them ship the car out to me? Also curious how long it generally takes them to coordinate shipment of a vehicle from coast to coast and actually finalize/deliver the car?
Have them confirm AP1 or 2?
Can i push for month end/quarter end deals/upgrades since this is a used/inventory car?
Ask if free supercharging is included?
Damage history?
The pictures show it badges as a 70D, but listed as a 75D... which means it must’ve been uncorked, or do they sometimes swap the entire battery?

Agree with this. I made a big deal out of free supercharging until I took my wife's 3 on a recent road trip. The cost of supercharging was ridiculously low....don't be swept up with the free supercharging!

If the badge says 70D then that's what it is. This is a reason to get them to drop $5k immediately. I would also question everything else based on this error.

The photo is of a mid ‘16 AP1 car. Refresh nose, no side cameras. One of the few builds you can identify to within a few months at a glance.
Might have better chance with private sale. Tesla seems to be stripping it from their used inventory. I purchased mine from a Mercedes dealer and UFSC transferred with the car. But I have seen post saying that's good for second owner only.

I can't think of a reason why somebody would replace a 75D badge with a 70D badge, but then I don't understand faking badges in the first place.
Is it possible that this was a 75 battery restricted to 70? Or is it more likely tesla mislabeled this as a 75D?

If it's labeled a 70D, it's a 70D, regardless of what other people might think about badging. You don't change a badge from 75D to 70D.
I guess my question is.... tesla sells a number of 60 cars that are uncorked. Isn’t it possible this car was born as a 70D, and after being traded in, they uncorked it to a 75D without upgrading the badges?
When I got mine (June 2016 build) 3 months ago, the pictures showed it was a 70D, but the sales guy said as part of the sale it would updated at no cost to a 75D (a software unlock update) from 70 to 75. I also requested it be uncorked and they did that too (but I have no way of proving that other than "testing" it myself which is open to debate as I've never done a test like that and I don't know how accurate that would be.
I paid USD$56K for mine and it had 16K miles (with an additional 4 years and 50K miles bumper to bumper warranty and Free SC for life). Fully loaded with every single option other than Ultra High Fidelity stereo and 21 inch rims. I live in Canada and prices are generally higher for everything compared to the US

Keep in mind that second owners of AP2.0 cars are not eligible for FSD upgrade - it's been reported here that Tesla refused to sell FSD to AP2.0 cars after they have changed owners.

I've driven from St Louis to Florida multiple times. I get on interstate 64 and activate NOA. The car pretty much drives itself. Passes and changes lanes, merges from interstate 64 to 57, and exits at first supercharger without my intervention. I of course pay attention and maintain a slight pressure on the wheel, often with one finger. Arrive at destination much less fatigued. That's my experience YMMV.
