Buying a used Tesla P90D? 4K

[@89five3five]

Noticing used Teslas prices are going up. In some cases costing more than new models.

[@meadmaker4525]

Do you still have the P90D? If so, how's it doing? Still enjoying it? I appreciate hearing your thoughts on buying/owning a used Tesla, as I'm currently looking at a 2016 MX P90D, 17K miles (CARFAX confirmed), for $37K. Same blue as yours, but with the cream leather and ash-wood trim. Beautiful car, looks immaculate in dealer pics, but at this point it's just about out of all warranty due to age. Makes me nervous given the issues these early MXs suffered from (falcon door sensors, front suspension/control arm shake, window regulators, leaking air suspension, air compressor failure, etc.). If anything goes wrong, it would be on me, and it could be expensive. Just trying to think it through from all the angles, but the MX has been my dream car since they came out, so I'm extremely tempted.

I do still have it with about 155,000 miles on it! I can understand you being nervous due to the age. My advice is to really check the battery. Not just the full charge capacity, but also the discharge rate. Good luck with your purchase.

Great video. Straight forward, concise. Appreciate it.

Interesting the 96 month warranty. I’m getting ready to buy a used x. That warranty just sold me. Now I’m trying to decide which color. Thanks for your personal insight.

Great video, and love to see another perspective on used Teslas. You're driving what's probably my dream car (though I'm not worried about performance). Blue paint, white interior, free supercharging and connectivity...man. With the MCU upgrade, were you also able to upgrade it to the one with 16GB RAM, so it can play Steam games? That'd be a huge selling point if I can upgrade an old MX to be able to play Steam games while I'm chilling and charging. (Though I might opt for KZbin or Netflix, also.)

[@SirSosa]

My Man! Thanks for the informative video 👍🏽

[@xdjnoclux]

Did you ever get it fixed? Or did you just ended up selling the car? Im currently looking at a 16 MX also… lol 😅

[@Dougiefreshhhh]

Awesome vid - been on the fence about getting a used model S - Very helpful. Thanks!

[@152thunder]

Thanks for the feedback. Pull the trigger and get one!

[@Dougiefreshhhh]

How much was the computer chip upgrade?

[@152thunder]

@@Dougiefreshhhh $1,500.00 in my opinion worth it

[@usa-ev]

@@152thunder When was the mcu replaced and did you get to keep the free premium connectivity after the upgrade? I had heard that would not be the case and one would have to pay montly.

[@usa-ev]

@@Dougiefreshhhh Used S is the route I went. Let me know if you have any questions!

[@TheFittedRockStar]

I'm really thinking about getting a used model S

[@VegarHenriksen]

100% worth it, but definitely look at the Model 3 if you don't need the space

[@deasunodonnachadha6408]

Nice vid. like the info. Wish the prices would come down for the 2nd hand ones. :)

[@chuckwilson37]

So in any 2016 model x KZbin is included? Premium streaming free? Most cases free supercharging unless bought back by tesla

[@Pure3nrg]

You haven't sealed the seats with Malco EPIC or ceramic leather coat? Wow.

[@medawson01]

I'm looking for a used Tesla. Your video was very helpful. Thank you. LOVED the light show!

Pull the plug and get one!

[@medawson01]

@@152thunder I bought a new Tesla 3 last week: white on white. The prices for used Teslas in the Chicago area were almost the same as new. It will be here Sept./Oct. It sucks that I won’t get a charger with the car. ☹️

[@apdrones1914]

@@medawson01 Congrats on the purchase! The new models don't come with a charger?

[@medawson01]

@@apdrones1914 No. The announcement was made a few weeks ago. I'll have to pay $275 for the charger according to my sales representative. Elon said the reason was not many people were actually using them.

[@anmarams]

@@medawson01 it's $200 and you don't really need it.

[@BIGNUPE91]

Greetings. Enjoyed the video. Are you still enjoying your vehicle? I'm supposed to go pick up a P90D on Monday.

[@152thunder]

Did you pick up your P90D yet?

[@danpaul4975]

The cars are great, I have a 21 model 3 and I love it, but have driven a model s 75d and a model X p100d, they're a different league. But as for Elon I can see straight through him. He's a businessman. Money is at the forefront of his mind like every other businessman. Otherwise his cars would cost less, he wouldn't have scrapped the "$35000 Tesla" or the plans for the $25000 Tesla. The paid upgrades are more expensive than they need to be, FSD is years away and at $12000 in the states it's just robbery!!

[@James-ip5gz]

*$15,000

[@chuckwilson37]

Thank you for your time:-) have you tried the work around to get CarPlay in your Tesla ?

[@kwelitysoul]

The CPU upgrade is important, do you have details on where to get that done?

[@apdrones1914]

I got it done at Tesla service.

[@devildog832916]

Thank you for the information

[@anmarams]

Thanks for clarifying so many things. I'm trying to find a used model S with a free supercharging. How you make sure that feature is transferred to you after you buy it from dealer? I asked a couple dealers here on east coast and they don't know anything about that.

[@apdrones1914]

Great question! When I purchased my Model X the dealer had no idea what I was talking about. As a matter a fact the vehicle had a extended warranty through Tesla that they didn't know about. But back to the free supercharging. I would check some of the Tesla forums on this topic. I've been reading recently that its not only 2016. This KZbin video is helpful. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2fcYYGagpyrq80

[@anmarams]

@@apdrones1914 Thanks a lot, Sir! I appreciate the info.

[@anmarams]

So how did you find out that the car has an extended warranty? What tools did you use? Also, did you claim ownership of the car by providing documentations on the Tesla website and creating a Tesla ccount? Because that's the only way by which you can know all those facts about the car. My concern is that if you claim ownership of the car on Tesla website, is Tesla going to automatically remove the free supercharging feature? I'm afraid to do it after I purchase mine.

[@apdrones1914]

@@anmarams I did find out all the information after making my account and going to a Tesla dealership. You're going to have to make an account in order to be able to supercharge.

[@anmarams]

@@apdrones1914 oh ok got it! Thanks a lot, Sir! Can't wait to get to do it after buying my used model S 😃

[@rgraham-ncal]

Some interesting information. But why, oh why, are we watching someone drive around??? Show us video of the car interior, exterior, anything. But not someone just driving around talking.

[@CONESGRAPHIX]

Loved it 🔥

Any problems yet? I’ve seen other people have problems with the 2016 year
