This car looks awesome but I want/need a D model. I,live in Boise and we get snow so I would feel safer with amD.
Also it has autopilot which is a must for me

That seems like a pretty good deal. Is the car local --- can you take it to Tesla to get a pre-purchase inspection? I bought my P85D with 12k miles earlier this year for $85k (private sale, not CPO). With 40k miles, I'd suggest looking into the extended service agreement (warranty). For about $70k out the door (well, plus tax), you'd get a P85D with a 8 year, 100k mile warranty.
For a "P" model? The lowest price Inventory "P" model right now is $117k and in Hawaii!
I have read a lot of people want or high;y suggesting the warranty.. are there a lot of high cost maintenance issues with the D?
Also what is a better “deal”... a late 2015 Same optioned S with 32k miles less miles or a late 2014 42k miles same optioned S?

You mentioned looking into an Extended Service Agreement.....I think this is the main problem w/ buying a used Tesla from a 3rd party. My understanding (correct me if I'm wrong), is that Tesla won't sell you Extended Service unless you are the original owner (or purchased CPO through Tesla). In theory, you would have to work w/ the selling party to purchase this extension before the car is sold to the new owner. These are fully transferrable, but this sounds like a very painful mess (unless you are friends/family w/ the seller).
Again, this is just my understanding. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. To me, this is the sole reason to go CPO vs 3rd party.

I live in an area where we get some weather so I know I need the “D” model. And really want the “P” power!
BUT... 90Ds could have AP1,
Last thing... if it is between the 2014 and 2015 P85D and the older one has the + suspension... that is the ultimate no brainer....
Hope that helps
This hasn't been true for over a year now.. now anyone can buy the ESA as long as it hasn't passed through a dealer.
That would make at least two of us. Agree on the plenty of "oomph" even with the non-P versions.However, I'm one of those wackos that does NOT want a P model. At least, I don't want to pay for it. Every MS out there has plenty of power off the line for me (and at 80 MPH, for that matter). Anything spent on a P is virtually wasted money. Sure, I'll take it for free or a hundred bucks, but there's no way I'm paying thousands for it. I'll just never find the value.
The added range doesn’t isn’t just under “IDEAL” conditions, it’s rated under the same conditions as the range on a 75, it would always be 30 additional miles under the same conditions, you would never run the 75 to zero! The 30 extra miles don’t seem like much on paper (actually they kinda do) but in everyday use the comfort of not having to worry about "just making it there" or having to go out of your way to charge is worth a great deal when you roll in with plenty to spare compared to watching the range all the time. Plus the 90’s can still have excellent range without taking all the extra time for that very slow last 15-20 percent charge. You can fast charge quickly to 85 percent and hit the road. Most 90’s still have the technology advantage of having AP1 that works all the time and does it smoothly. The 90’s always have a good size performance advantage unless compared to a new build 75D, and only at that point the 90 still has a small speed advantage but still a pretty good distance advantage. People with EV experience always say get the most range you can afford. The best find would be a stragler inventory S90D still popping up for sale at a discount, a lot more car for the money. The P cars are more fun but they cost range and old ones no doubt were purchased by guys looking to go fast and therefore have been used harder so I agree a new or slightly used 16-17 is the best value.i feel the same way when it comes to a 90 vs. a 75.... If the range on a 60 can make it around the country then a 75D is more than enough in almost every application. a 75D is just shy of what an P85 does in range. I also consider that estimated mileage and reality depends on so many variables... to me the range on a 90 is not different enough to warrant another 21K in price... everything else including performance is the same.... Makes zero sense to me... If I am taking a 300 mile one way trip (LV to LA) No matter what car i am in I am stopping somewhere along the way unless you have a 100D and you really like to gamble on either desert winds or LA traffic. 9 times out of 10 it will just mean you have a 5-10 minute sorter stop...MY VERY LIMITED experience with longer drives says that most supercharger stations are about 100-120 miles apart in outlying areas which means that unless the range is significantly different no one is skipping the second charging station 200+ miles into their trip. The LA area is a different story and I suppose that as charging station increase this might be different in the future.
that being said i do think that the 100D is significant enough of a range difference to warrant consideration over the 75D in some circumstances like living in a fairly remote area o if a significant amount of your travel is long trips (which i don't think is the case for the vast majority of us). But the point above was a used 90D vs. a new 75D my vote is still for the 75D. which would likely be the same or less money... so as others have said technology trumps the "P"... I say technology also trumps 30 IDEAL miles in range.
Hey,Super helpful advice. I think I have gotten over my vanity and will go with a 90D... I live in Boise so there are few charging stations and the extra range will,probably come in handy.
Thanks guys... hopefully I can lock one in this weekend!
