Used Model S inspection

[Sanjeevniwas]

Hi, I am planning to buy a used single owner Model S but would like to get it inspected first. Can anyone help or recommend who should I go for - Lemonsquad or Pomcar or someone else?

I think you are doing something wise. You may be one of the luckiest member on TMC. You live in Stoneham, Mass?
There's a Tesla special garage called The Electrified Garage in Seabrook NH. You could contact them and ask them if they would inspect it for purchase for you. Provided the current owner would let you take it to them, that could be an very good plan - if you ask me.http://www.electrifiedgarage.com

The owner is not allowing me to take it to the service center but is ok with a mechanic to come and look at it. So, what would be a better option, Pomcar or Lemonsquad or do you know any other mechanic who can do it?

No, I don't. Sorry.

Maybe you should locate and reach out to the local Tesla club. They might know or someone might be willing to go with you.

why would they not allow it if you are paying for it? sounds fishy to me already

Perhaps the owner is just not wanting to let someone have their car for day, so maybe ask the owner to take it to the service center for inspection, then provide you with the report from them. That way they keep possession of the car at all times, and only official Tesla service personnel drives it. Saves the buyer time too, why not.

Hi, I got this service record from the owner. I am new with Tesla so can someone here please help and let me know if there is nothing to worry or do I need to be cautious? Attaching the picture of service record.

It would be helpful if you provide more details about the car.

i.e. Year, date it was manufactured, AP1, 2 or 2.5, battery pack, mcu1 or 2 etc.

Nothing seems like a red flag. Alot of recalls and customer satisfaction repairs and standard maintenance. I'd see if the owner can get the service center to see how much life the eMMC has left to get an idea on if you'll need to replace the MCU sooner than later.

Thanks for the reply. I am new to Tesla. Can you please tell me what does eMMC and MCU mean and how much would it impact me financially if there is something wrong? Also, you mentioned a lot if recalls, is that something to worry about?

The screenshots you posted show the recalls we're were taken care of. Older models have a storage chip (eMMC) thats undersized to keep logs and may cause the main screen (MCU) to stop working and it's 2k to replace.
