I scored a P85+ with 26K original miles. Been on several long road trips car works great!! Love the air shocks and performance of the motor

[@Myksgarage]

Nice!!

[@archeotech.]

How much did you get it for?

[@moneymagnet121]

How much did you pay for it?

[@sirseriously]

Good to hear; I just signed for a 2013 with 32k miles on it.

[@ItsMackVern]

This past July (2023), I bought a 2013 Model S 60 with 125k mile for $15k from a private sale. Original HV batt. & 2nd drive unit (according to selller).This is my first EV and loving it so far. I think at the time, this vehicle was the cheapest "running" Tesla in the US...😀 So, needless to say, I'm anxious to see upcoming videos and progress you make with this vehicles. There are alot of us out here that are just getting our "EV feet" wet with older vehicle like this and videos like these are invaluable to us.

[@Myksgarage]

That's cool! Yes, I'll definitely be posting more videos as I have more experience and do more work on the car. Thanks for watching.

[@YoYo-be4ow]

Dang 125k miles. That would scare me away. No warranty and other issue will come up. I heard the door handles breaks pretty easy. Also mcu screen leaks and gets slow.

[@fatimarahim9495]

I’m in the market for this car but a little nervous of course to buy it. How has it been treating you? Have you had the window leaks that I’m hearing?

2 months ago i bought a like new red 2014 model s 85, for only $9400 cash, private dealer, had new motor and battery 50k miles ago and no issues at all, has great tires, i can tell it has the new mcu 2 as well, it was definitely garage kept

[@Myksgarage]

That's a much better deal than what I got!! Are you liking it?

[@TheMediaPlugs]

i scored a 2016 p90dl+ for 30,800 this summer 100k miles ive put 20k miles on it so far i love the car to death

[@Myksgarage]

That's a sweet car!!

[@wdbldr67]

I bought an early 2013 MS 60 for 15k last NOV. new motor, 140k miles, 12 volt, immaculate interior. MCU2 only 1 year old. Totally happy w purchase. oh also new breaks and rotors, that's calipers and all.

[@Myksgarage]

That car should last you a long time!

[@LilAbproduction]

I bought a 2012 model s 85 for $9500.00 in the us. No issues. Had sat on a Toyota lot for about 4 months through winter and everyone was afraid of it. Bought it and get 232 on a full charge. Everything works even had new tires.. Smooth cars. Only 88k on it. I did have tesla upgrade the mcu.

[@Myksgarage]

That's a deal!!

[@dennissolano1562]

I have to say love the videos I’m going to follow this journey u have with the model s u just brought because I want to buy one cheap like that and to fix up little by little hope to see more videos on the used model S god bless

[@Myksgarage]

Thanks for the encouragement, should be a interesting project!

[@alangarnham706]

Sounds like the rear drive motor bearings are bad, if so this is due to coolant leaking into the motor. If this is the case, the motor needs to be removed and bearings replaced, I suggest installing a coolant delete too.

[@Myksgarage]

I already had Tesla replace the motor with the coolant deleted version

[@jokulhaups309]

Just got my 2015 S 85D with 148k miles and a new battery (7 months old) for 10,200

[@Myksgarage]

That's a great deal!

[@jokulhaups309]

@@Myksgarage thank you. Wasn’t perfect. Needed a new damper, front sensor, and the filter was never changed 😂 but runs great

[@Toxic-hz8sl]

That is kind of weird to me that there are no driver assistance features at all. Even my 2013 Toyota has safety features like adaptive cruise control and blind spot monitoring

[@Myksgarage]

Yeah, those came out in 2015 so the early cars didn't have them

[@gerardcrabb4556]

Get paint correction and detail after new battery then replace stuff like brakes etc before worrying about updates to screens etc see if it gets full range...

[@Myksgarage]

Good idea: see my latest video on this car kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnTUe4uGmrmEqaM

[@DrKoneko]

I would get the new screen retrofit from Tesla.

[@Myksgarage]

Yeah, I think I will

[@Myksgarage]

Yes, that was a much better deal than mine. Mine is not very good shape.

[@JayVesce-e2r]

What is the stuff on the screen? Looks like the display's have something on them?

[@Myksgarage]

Yeah, the adhesive that holds the LCD panels together melts and oozes out

[@stylin525]

Please let us know when you figure out what is causing that clunk. I also have the same noise coming from the rear. 2013 MS 60. Usually only when accelerating from a dead stop.

[@Myksgarage]

Yeah I will be making regular updated videos!

[@recome69]

Have the same 2013 ms 85, also instrument cluster screen died aster 1000km after Buying also as the door on left Side xD

[@weariedcleric6306]

Did you find out what the clunk is acceleration from a stop ?

[@M-TRON]

@@weariedcleric6306 Half shaft lug and washer replacement, as well as tightening to specs fixes it in most cases like mine.

[@dondrerichardson7289]

Can we get a video on the screen and how it operates in 2023 even with new updates and video display like watching a movie plz ?

[@Myksgarage]

Yeah I'll make one here shortly

[@sorka95032]

If this vehicle hasn't had the flash memory recall done you, you can still choose the MCU2 upgrade for $1500. If the memory recall has already been done, then the cost is $2250 for MCU2. If the screen in front of the steering wheel hasn't started to leak, it includes that too. If you don't do the MCU to upgrade and the instrument screen leaks, it's like a $1000 replacement, so do MCU2 is a no brainer. Should also get the battery coolant, rear DU diff fluid, and brake fluid flushed/replaced.

[@Myksgarage]

Good tips! Thanks

[@darbytan3915]

I am from China, i bought a MODEL S85 with free supercharging, but i did not transfer the ownership from the previous owner account, cause i was told by someone that if i did this, the free supercharging would be canceled, is that true in US?

[@Myksgarage]

Im the second owner on both of my Model S cars, and the supercharging transfered just fine each time

[@AllDefiAreRugs]

Go to your Tesla account vehicle page. Then click on details (below the VIN number), which will give you a pop-up screen with your car details. To find out if you have code SC01 (the only SC code with free *transferable* lifetime supercharging), you need to view the HTML source code of the page with the pop-up within your browser, etc. Do a search in the source code for the text SC0 and you will see which SC code you have, hidden between all the other options for your car. SC05 is non-transferrable lifetime supercharging, so if you see that, then you cannot transfer it, you would have to keep it the way you have it now.

[@cnobles55]

Between this S 85 with standard suspension coils and your p85 with air suspension! Can you tell a difference in ride quality after fixing some of the issues you were have with the project S 85?

[@Myksgarage]

This project car still needs some suspension work to bring it back to how it should ride, then I'll be able to tell.

[@BradKwfc]

Do you live in Utah? Ever worked in aviation? I feel like I know you? Or maybe I've just seen your videos before. 10k seems like a good deal as long as the batt and DU last. From my research the battery issues mostly stopped after Q2 2015. Tesla Motors Club website has a load of info.

[@Myksgarage]

Hi Brad, yes I live in Utah, but I don't work in aviation. Yeah hoping the battery and drive unit hold out

[@richjohnson749]

I believe this comes with lifetime free charging. Transferable

[@Myksgarage]

Yes it does!!

[@nononsenseBennett]

Wasn't there an issue with bearings in early Teslas?

[@Myksgarage]

Not sure, but I'm going to dig into it and see

[@BFTVCanada]

What is your goal with it after you fix it up?

[@Myksgarage]

Either sell it or keep it for my son to drive

[@BFTVCanada]

@@Myksgarage nice!

[@brianhackford2324]

Could be a worn drive axle.

[@Myksgarage]

Oh yeah?

[@YoYo-be4ow]

Is 20k too much for 2013 model s p85 at 81k miles which had 1 owner...Kelly blue book and Other site valued it between $16-17k, so $20k seems too much.

[@Myksgarage]

Yeah probably a little high

[@YoYo-be4ow]

@@Myksgarage lol ur right.... btw are u having an issue super charging ur car. How long does it take. A KZbinr posted his takes 45min or longer. On the comment selection people said the same thing, theirs has slowed down. Maybe done by elon musk (by software patch so they can buy the new one and to them stop free super charging )

[@ionelzegheanu2118]

Why ? 😅

[@Myksgarage]

It makes for good KZbin videos?
