2013 TESLA S P85 | Is that kind of EV what is still good after 10 years | Deep Review, Pros and Cons

The 2013 Tesla Model S P85 was an all-electric luxury sedan produced by Tesla, Inc. It was part of the Model S lineup, which was Tesla's flagship vehicle at the time. The "P85" designation referred to the performance variant of the Model S, with "P" standing for Performance and "85" indicating the battery pack capacity in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
Here are some key features and specifications of the 2013 Tesla Model S P85:
Electric Powertrain: The Model S P85 was powered by a rear-mounted electric motor, which delivered instant torque and provided a smooth, quiet driving experience. It was a rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
Performance: The P85 variant of the Model S offered impressive performance capabilities. It had a power output of 310 kW (416 horsepower) and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) of torque, allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) in around 4.2 seconds. This was quite remarkable for an electric sedan at the time.
Battery Range: The 2013 Model S P85 came with an 85 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. It had an estimated EPA-rated range of around 265 miles (426 kilometers) on a full charge, although the range could vary depending on driving conditions, speed, and other factors.
Supercharging Capabilities: The Model S P85 was compatible with Tesla's Supercharger network, which enabled high-speed charging for long-distance travel. Superchargers could replenish the battery to about 80% capacity in approximately 30 minutes, providing a significant convenience for Tesla owners on road trips.
Interior and Technology: The Model S had a sleek and minimalist interior design with a large touchscreen display positioned in the center console. The touchscreen served as the main interface for controlling various vehicle functions, including navigation, media, and climate control. The P85 also featured premium materials, spacious seating for up to five adults, and ample cargo space.
Autopilot Features: The 2013 Model S did not come with Tesla's Autopilot features, as they were introduced in later model years. However, it did include some advanced safety features like traction control, stability control, and regenerative braking.
Market Impact: The 2013 Tesla Model S P85 was an important vehicle in the early adoption of electric cars. It received widespread acclaim for its performance, long electric range, and innovative features. The Model S helped establish Tesla as a prominent player in the electric vehicle market and set the stage for the company's subsequent successes.
It's worth noting that Tesla has introduced several updates and advancements to its Model S lineup since 2013. Therefore, the specifications and features mentioned here may not be applicable to newer Model S versions.

Ive run my Peal White P85 since 2014 now 135,000 uk miles. Being one of the first in the UK Tesla service was just starting, my car always had a slight patch of water under neath, Tesa said we have topped your coolant I said OK where is it leaking? By 75,000 miles on a hot day! (yes in UK!!) my car went snail mode 65mph max. Get home theres an email from Freemont 2am US time. " We have detected a battery fault, we have arranged a replacement please call this number" 2 days later new battery, no leak. It was the 4 way coolant valve under the frunk (known fault now). Little known fact the RWD S drives better than the AWD, steering is so precise....I like it. Also Tesla upgraded 0-60 to 4.0 seconds and it seems made the car drift....I like it! Had all 4 door handles upgraded to V2.5 (latest mechanism so no micro switches on old V1 back plate plus car software upgraded so all 4 have to be done) now no more failing handles. My car runs the 19" wheels powder coated black also have no sunroof just black carbon so C of G so low....I like it. What a car. I service it sometimes myself, parts are cheap go Ebay. This car will go forever and free to run Supercharging .....I really like it! 2024 update 140,000 miles. Driven a couple of the AWD Model S and its still true the RWD are nicer to drive with precise steering and quicker to turn light front end. Parts are so cheap on Ebay I wait till I can buy a pair of suspension parts with the rubber bushes and replace bot sides as a pair on the rear it renews the tight feeling just like anew car, all rubber bushes deteriorate with age/miles with parts so cheap its worth keeping these old classics sharp.

Oh man! I absolutely agreed with you! Older teslas just much better and built differently from the one for sale today. I’ll do my 2023 X soon, just to show it. Older quality S - one love!

[@ded32]

I'm actively looking for p85+, your video helped a lot.

[@AndyLaRides]

Since I sold mine to my friend, I’m looking for same car again! Older Tesla much better

[@danbelainsky1650]

Great review!

[@AndyLaRides]

Thank you! More is on the way! I love it :)

[@horizonworlds6937]

Beautiful car!

[@johnrolavs6794]

Great review! Thanks for the info. Be a little careful with the Chinese tires though. The Model S is super heavy, and the tires may not be rated for the weight, also check to see what the speed rating is on them if you drive fast. Two friends have had issues with Chinese tires before and their cars were lighter and less powerful than yours. Enjoy your beautiful car and be safe brother 👍

Best info for used Tesla DIY repairs

[@AndyLaRides]

I think there a lot of videos and data, you can do all yourself, even a main battery, but you need a lift, a lot of beer(if you need it) and bunch of friends who’s crazy as you to do so)

[@Ralhinni]

I have a dilemma. In my country there is a p85d from 2013 with free Supercharger, premium package, winter , autopilot 1 , new battery,motor and suspension for roughly 24000 euros and 270000 km.And there is a model 3 long range with 220000 km , 2019 ,no warranty , autopilot enhanced for 27000. I have acess to Supercharger everyweek ( only once a week) . I make 45000 km/year , maximum per day roughly 300 km (once per month). What would you choose ? The more efficient and hitec model 3 or the FSUC model S?

[@universalcityrider9242]

Why do you have only old cars? Any options for the new ones?

[@AndyLaRides]

Have a lot of new cars. But 80% of cars market are used…

[@Laissez_Faire]

Tesla removed my supercharging and when I requested a service they told me that supercharging it’s not transferable. How did you transfers it?

[@AndyLaRides]

Just sold that car to my friend and we did transfer it no problem. So we transferred that on a same car 3 times already and no problem. What’s the history of a car, did someone buy it from tesla inc at the auction? I know places(probably you can Craigslist it) and they can unlock it if you really want it. Teslas like an iPhone, whoever got a right tools, can make a plaid from 2013 tesla S.

[@Laissez_Faire]

@@AndyLaRides thanks for your reply. I got this from the original owner a friend of mine. I drove it for a week before I bought it from him and used the supercharger about 7 times. When we did the transfer I could no longer even use the supercharger. Now they’re asking me to pay to activate supercharging. I don’t mind paying for supercharging but don’t want to pay $2500 just to have access to superchargers and still pay per kilowatt to charge. Real bummer

[@AndyLaRides]

@@Laissez_Faire I think that’s the main target for them now. Dropping prices for new 3 & Y, used cars prices crashing, only way to compensate that, get every single tesla on a paid supercharger, and raise prices by 0.01 cents, so you not gonna feel it, but in a count wise of cars, they will fell a profit.

[@jokulhaups309]

Sold private party S and Xs with free charging does not transfer free supercharging. Tesla automatically takes this away and I don’t know why reviewers keep saying this . I own this particular model so I know first hand

[@AndyLaRides]

I sold this car to my friend and free supercharge remains same. This month my friend sold it to someone else, still free. Most of the time I see it’s staying with a car. Maybe my case unique, or rules changed…

[@dropbox271]

After 30k some of Teslas losing 15% battery capacity. Is it a good sign?

[@AndyLaRides]

We are all getting older my friend…

[@Kareem-cx4fi]

15% after 30k, is a lot imo. Typically you should see that much afte 120k+. However if it's keeps degrading at that rate before 120k the battery warranty should cover it.

[@zydecbro]

I know nothing about Teslas and I'm probably speaking for 85% the people out there your 2013 looks like a 2024 to me
