This is for everyone who says EV's can't last. I have an 11 year old Tesla Model S Performance that cost me $7,800 from auction with 300,000 Miles. Let's see how broken it really is!

When a prompt box comes up, type in service. Then you should be good to use it! To exit it there should be a red box somewhere (not sure where exactly so I’m mentioning it lol.)

The whole reason I buy used is because I expect a car to lose a lot of value very quickly. But instead it went up! What a crazy world. Never would happen if you buy a new car though.

  • Great video! I also have a silver P85 from 2013 and I have owned it since new, and it has more miles than yours!!! LOL 277,000 and still drives great. The HVAC and the stereo need work (neither are totally broken). Drivetrain is solid. Your car may have been top-of-the-line when it was made, I can't remember - there was a "P85+" introduced with better suspension, but not sure if it was available in March 2013 when yours was built. Overall $7800 is an incredible deal - except for me, since I only have one to sell!!! 🤣 RE: free supercharging... perhaps there is some really bad news in your future. If the car was traded into Tesla last year (and they sent it to auction, that is totally not a surprise), it's possible the prior owner was buying a new Tesla and transferring the free supercharging OFF OF your car and ON TO the new car. That was a promotion they were running last year and literally stopped it 12 days ago. It was to get customers to take delivery by December 31st. We just did it... we bought a Model Y which now has free supercharging for life!!! (but it won't transfer to any subsequent car or owner) if you end up having to pay for supercharging, well, at least it's cheaper than gasoline.

  • It does not have free supercharging any more as it was traded into Tesla. They removed it as they always do. The supercharging unavailable means you need to it up on your account and add a credit card for charging.

    • I don't think that's what's going on. I think it's grandfathered in even for owner changes, but they need the credit card to charge idle fees if you leave the car plugged in at a Supercharger and don't go back in time. If it completes charging (even when free), you get charged something like a $1/minute parking fee unless you return within 5 minutes.

  • It's possible that the old blower motor froze up so bad it blew a fuse. That means just changing the motor won't fix the problem. In late December 2023 I got a 2013 Chevy Volt with 63,000 miles on it and it has no battery problems whatsoever (it had been sitting for a while before I got it and it might still have an issue with the EVAP system but I'm going to wait until the weather warms up before I go into it).

I watched a story about a guy in Germany with a Tesla Model S with 1,200,000 miles, he’s had motor and battery replacements by Tesla all for free because of the lifetime warranty.

    • Randy my friend, Big time home run on the Tesla! Reviewing the comments on this video, a question I’ve wanted to ask you for a long while comes to mind: Why do so many KNOW-IT-ALLS feel like it’s their duty to leave nearly worthless comments on your videos? I have several theories, among them are: Their envy (and down-right jealousy) of your wonderful success. Their very obvious lack of self esteem. I’d be interested in your thoughts on this should you care to share them. I’ll just add one more thing before I put everyone asleep: I’m always thrilled to see someone’s success. The only thing I enjoy more is my own success! Peace my friend, DrRick

  • You need to have the Tesla MCU (media control unit=screen) updated. It showed 2G, no longer compatible with today's communication. Better to have Tesla replace and have latest software/firmware confidence! If it has been gently driven, drive unit should be okay. Expect to need replacement at some time. You need to have Tesla confirm that it is original drive unit. The battery replacement is not expensive if you request a remanufactured unit. Although new replacement are much much better, and worth it. Probably went to auction because the diagnosis and repair time cost of climate control, MCU upgrade (required), possible drive unit, was not economical for resale due to high mileage. Just like any manufacturer used car, no warranty possible/available. LIFETIME Supercharging is worth the price for the car! Tesla superchargers are usually located where you can walk/eat/toilet/window shop. FYI, if the retractable sunroof leaks/problems, repair/replacing it is Tesla available. Although no longer available on the new cars. Keep the exterior track slots clean. Cover/garage definitely helps. You may expect to enjoy, keep this car for a long time. The performance is tough to beat.

    • EVs are actually easier than conventional cars in a number of ways. There's much less regular maintenance. No oil changes or other such service that needs to be done, and for day to day driving you don't have to stop somewhere to refuel, instead you just charge at home, so it eliminates the need to stop at gas stations.

  • I love that you got a good deal on this. Unfortunately it does seem to have been in some form of a collision, as the nuts and bolts that secure the “frunk” to the hinges have evidently been messed with, and the plastic tabs or clips that secure the cargo liner are showing evidence of being pried off. Those clips should not be pried off even with excessive normal wear and tear of the cargo area.
