Hey Everyone!
I'm so happy that I can finally say that I'm getting a Tesla.
Originally, I had a deposit down on the new de-bundled Performance Model 3, but saner heads prevailed... aka my wife. We've got a 2 year old and have plans for more in the future so we decided to go for a used Model S for the space and rear facing seats when in a pinch.
I'm familiar with Tesla as my father owns a P3D and I've been lucky enough to have around 1,000 miles behind the wheel of it.
I'm not familiar with purchasing a used one and what to look for when I take delivery. Beyond the obvious body work, curbed wheels, and general wear and tear of the interior, I'm interested in finding out from the community what I should look for when it comes to battery degradation, current available range, etc.
I asked Tesla if they could provide me a service history on the vehicle so that I could see if any of the major components had been replaced already and they haven't provide that to me.
Delivery is in 2-3 weeks as the vehicle is being transported from San Diego to San Antonio. In San Antonio they will be going over the vehicle, detailing it, and doing all of the inspection work, which I presume means fixing anything they find that isn't up to their standards.
The specs of my incoming car are as follows:
Model S 75 - Build date 06/16 - 45,000 miles
Exterior
Solid White Paint
All Glass Panoramic Roof
19" Wheels
Interior
Black Next Generation Seats
Dark Ash Wood
Integrated Center Console
Black Alcantara Headliner
Options
Autopilot 1 with Convenience Features
Premium Upgrades Package
Standard Suspension
Rear Facing Seats
Thanks in advance, y'all!
