Great video! after comparing a used S vs 3, I bought a 2015 S85D from Tesla in April 2019, with 12,004 miles. It was a returned 3 year lease and felt like a brand new car. At that time, it came with a 4 year/50,000 mile warranty starting from my delivery date, free supercharging and free premium connectivity. 19” wheels, Technology Upgrade with Autopilot 1.0, all heated seats, premium sound system with subwoofer, and panoramic sunroof. Best part was the price, about 60% of the sticker price. I LOVE it. A few months ago I had Tesla upgrade the MCU1 to the new MCU2. Now I have all the games and video theater of a 3. Still prefer my beautiful S85D!

I am one of the lucky ones. Although I live in central Texas, I bought a second hand 2013 Model S from an individual in Sacramento, California in April, 2020 sight unseen (except in photos) with 91K miles. The seller posted over 30 photos and answered ALL of my questions regarding condition of the car before I made the purchase, but if you ask the right questions and verify the veracity of the answers, then you can come out fine. However, buying that way is still a gamble.

Excellent video; I only wish I had found it before I recently purchased my 2018 Model S P100D. I wrongfully assumed that ALL 2018s had MCU2, and of course, mine was an earlier 2018 that still had MCU1. Also, another critical point you mentioned is if the pre-owned Tesla has been back in the hands of Tesla or was purchased by the 3rd party dealer/seller from a Tesla auction, as they will strip Full-Self Driving Autopilot. Mine had it on the advert (the selling 3rd party dealer didn't advertise it), but after I picked up the car, it had for about two days, but as soon as the ownership was transferred to me, Tesla removed FSD and claimed it never had it. Customer service didn't care and told me I'm sol! Thank you for a great video; I'm commenting so that it hopefully helps others not make the mistake I've made.

Free supercharging was dropped in early 2017 and then briefly re-instated for late 2017 cars. I am pretty sure it is for the life of the car and transferable in all cars that were supplied with it unless, as you say, it has been turned off by Tesla when re-sold through an official Tesla outlet.

At last someone has nailed the changes and spec differences of the Model S time line in an easy to digest form, Ive learned stuff!. Ive got 2014/15 P85, the metal roof is fibreglass so super light and the CofG benefits, the cold weather package also included heated wipers, heated jets but Ive no evidence of either actually working and the wheel was not heated......Tesla changes, you could write a book. BTW my car had water ingress into boot for 6 years, fooled everyone including Tesla. I found it, the rear lamps (on the rear wing) have drainage channels that can channel water to above the ( 2 each side) black plastic oblong HVAC exhaust vents either side of the boot. Remove them from inside the boot stick some L section plastic on above them to divert any water flow away ( can all be done from inside the boot via the holes the vents were in ) and seal them back in with silicone sealant. Prove if yours is the problem flow water onto the rear lamps and watch inside at the vents (side carpets need to be removed)

That made a for an interesting drive until it had cooled down enough to come back online again. My vehicle a Model S 85RW late 2014 with Autopilot 1. I did get this replaced by Tesla at reduced cost even though my car was out of the standard 50k miles warranty. It turned out that Tesla themselves had seen the problem and upgraded the screen fan's to avoid a larger recall problem. My second screen was of the new version with better fans and cooling and have since worked flawlessly.

The handles (any version) can be fixed/refurbished, it's usually the paddle gear that brakes and can be replaced. Other possible thing is the relay switch will wear out and/or a broken cable. There are YT videos on the matter. I have done the repair myself and it was a broken paddle gear.

Great review! One slight correction: in the U.S. (not sure about Europe), there was actually a 40 kW version available in 2012 and 2013 so 60 kW was not the lowest configuration sold. However, only 400 of these were sold, and what was delivered was actually a 60 kW version that was software limited to 40 kW.

I have been going back and forth about buying an S. This was by far the most informative, honest, intelligent review I've seen. As another person stated, if I was in the UK I'd be buying my Model S from you straight away. Do you have any advice to find dealers like yourself? I live in Southern California and there are a ton of used car dealers, I don't even know where to start looking for someone with your knowledge and honesty. Do you have any suggestions?

Great video. I watched right the way through and took notes on things to check when I went to buy a 2017 75D with had done 60,000 miles. Thank God I did because one of the daylight running lights was faulty and the dealer was trying to get away with it. He made sure the car was switched off when I was looking around it. Only because I insisted on seeing the running lights working did I see the fault. Saved me £1200. Anyone know if Tesla are now agreeing a lower price for replacement or if the newer version of the lights is available without having to pay the outrageous Tesla price?

Great video. Looking at buying a used 16MY 90D and this video was very informative. Prices on possible repairs might be an idea, like the compressor / air suspension parts etc.

Great guide to the Model S, thanks. On the issue of the CCS adapter, I’ve been informed a hardware upgrade is also required before the adapter will work, at least in a 2017 model, costing around £280 at a Tesla Service centre. There is a system message indicating if it’s installed or not.

I wondered about the 60 that actually has the 75 battery and is only locked by software: this must be one of the best options in terms of degradation and also very nice because you can charge to 100% without worrying about wear, right?
