Used MS battery pack to get?

[Jomak]

I wanted to know what battery packs are the best for a used MS (70, 75, 85, 90, 100)? To P or not to P?

I am not sure if I prefer FUSC or a longer warranty period, 8yr? It occurs to me that the warranty would be a better deal than FUSC, but FUSC is lifetime.
I would like to get a solid car and I know not all battery packs are created equal. Which ones are best?

How do I verify versions if we get specific on certain battery pack models?

I have searched, but not finding what I want.
Thank you

I would contact WK057 in North Carolina. Tell them what you drive and they'll know what you need. Be patient they get a lot of calls.

I would 100% prioritize length of battery warranty on any used tesla. Most owners charge at home on a daily basis, so you might only use supercharging a couple times a month and safe a few bucks each time with FUSC. An out of warranty battery that fails is a 10k - 25k event. I learned the hard way that driving a tesla with an out of warranty battery is a very risky proposition. I would not recommend it unless you can comfortably buy a replacement without harming your overall finances. I would stay away from the 2012 - 2014 85kw packs since those will all be out of warranty. I don't know enough to give guidance on the other packs.

Any documentation, links to threads that talk about it? I recall the early 90s were suspect, but I thought the second gen 90s were good if I recall.

I think age is more important than specific pack, the later the better. At this point I could only in good conscience recommend a ~mid-2016 or later car.

Unlimited charging is important if you drive all day often or you can't charge at home. Charging overnight at home once or twice a week is usually enough.
The newer the pack the better.
A bigger pack is most necessary if you spend a lot of time in the few places with fewer charge stations.
In my opinion finding a car that has been garage kept is key.
