Hello, first post here by a possibly soon to be Tesla owner. I'm in the market for a used Tesla and after some research, it seems that getting the biggest battery possible I can afford is the way to go (definitely open to suggestions if this is not the case). My search has been mostly focused on 100D or P100D Model Ss.
I just put down a deposit with a dealer for a 2017 Model S 100D with a bit less than 130k miles for 33K out the door. The car has Autopilot (but not FSD), standard connectivity and HW 2.0. The dealer claimed that the car has 301mi range when fully charged, which would be around a 10% degradation from the original EPA range of 335mi. To me, this is acceptable. The car seems to be in good condition from the pictures.
From what I can see, similar 100D models tend to go for over 40K, so this almost seems too good to be true. Am I missing anything? Tesla's battery and drivetrain warranty is a bit ambiguous to me, and I couldn't figure out whether the warranty has a cap of 150K miles or not. In the worst case, it seems like I'd still have around 2 years and at least 20K miles left.
Is my understanding of the warranty correct and is this a good deal? I'm going for a test drive this weekend before committing. What do you guys think?
