Congrats! That’s great that you got the spec you’ve wanted. I assume we’re talking about vin 996 (and not #966). Enjoy the ride for many miles to come. Cheers!
Yes 996 thank you. I updated my signature. Bank approved loan. Got insurance yesterday, bank is requiring the car registration from seller, then all set.

Since the pandemic, it has been said that used cars have gone up 30%. We all know that the roadster is a very specialty niche car, but can't help but wonder if this has also added to the increase of prices.
Nope. The prices of used cars is up because of demand and shortages. The roadster demand is not driving the price up, although it could be argued the shortage of available roadsters is....

Interesting description indicates a range of 194 miles (not sure if this is on a standard charge or range), checked mine the other day and on a standard charge it was 182 mi and in range it was 201 mi. Mine is a re-manufactured ESS installed in 2016 by Tesla.
It's highly likely it is indeed on a Standard Mode charge. Though they were very scarce, the few replacement 1.5 packs installed between 2019 to 2021 had like-new cells in them. My 1.5 got one in 2019, and still charges to 191 in Standard Mode. It's just unbelievable.

I would agree that if this is a "new" battery installed in Feb, the range is likely 194 miles on standard. Mine likely had a "new" battery in 2016 (since all logs show 2016 as the earliest date) and currently sits at 183 miles range. Would have been nice to have a the comment read "full standard" instead of "full" or some other reference to mode so not leaving us to interpret the number....
