Hi,
So I’m thinking about purchasing a used Model S P85D, but have 2 main concerns (range fear or charging isn’t one of them)
So I’m thinking about purchasing a used Model S P85D, but have 2 main concerns (range fear or charging isn’t one of them)
- Build Quality: Having previously owned Porsche’s, BMWs and Mercedes, I’m currently driving a Mercedes E350. My first concern is the build quality. If I was spending £60 / £70k on a Merc or BM I now what kind of build quality I would be getting, should I expect any less with a Tesla? Or should I expect slightly less refinement for the advance technology?
- Size: I’ve read a lot of people saying about how big the car is, how difficult it is to park, going through width restrictions and multi story car parks and so on. Having driven one it didn’t feel much bigger than my E350. I live in Hampshire have a drive so no concerns there. Some parking spaces at car parks tend to be tight but mainly ok. But I drive to London every week and stay for a few days where I park my car on the street with residential parking, sometimes it’s a challenge with the E350, but no real drama and I tend to try and avoid width restrictions where possible, but will occasionally drive through some tight fast food drive throughs. Is the S really that much bigger than the E350?
Thanks in advance and sorry if these questions have been asked before.
