Looking at buying a used S 100D, there are two 2018s (one is 65k, the other 69k) I'm considering. The first is red w/black interior, carbon fiber, sunroof and "updated" 2018 interior trim i.e. dark graphite trim w/updated vanity mirrors (9/18 build), and they also wrapped the exterior trim in black. It has 58k miles, AP FSD computer and CF spoiler, sharp looking. The second is metallic silver (!), glass roof w/tan interior and dark oak trim, but silver trim and reg. vanity mirrors ((2/18 build), but only 39k and AP "2.5 computer". On paper, the red model has the newer MCU (Atom vs. Tegra) but a sunroof, which caused enough issues that they removed them entirely. And I was told the silver one cost more because of the lower mileage, which at this point really doesn't matter tbh as it's out of warranty anyways, and many here feel mileage isn't as much of a concern for EVs in general. And even though I'm as perplexed as many as to why they got rid of silver as an option, as a Tesla aficionado it kinda screams "old" since they stopped offering it 4 years ago yet there have been very few cosmetic changes to the S, although some would argue it is rarer simply because they no longer offer it. What I mean is, unless you know everything about an S, it's very hard to tell the difference between a 2016+ and a 2021 but silver to many indicates "older S".
But here's where I'm torn/concerned. Both are out of warranty, and it seems based on the opinions/experiences here that one of two things happens: little if any issues beyond battery, MCU or drive unit. The second and that worries me more is the known quality issues that you can either live with, try to fix yourself or pay out the nose for. Does anyone know the costs to have mobile ranger service out of warranty come to your home? I know it sounds cheap but it's gonna pain me to see $70k come out of my account, then keep spending more and more money just to keep it running. Or worse, be forced to live with a bunch of small quality issues on a 4 y.o. vehicle esp. because I keep my cars in excellent shape cosmetically.
