It's a bit more expensive than I would like and higher mileage than most. Is that anything to be worried about? To keep price lower it's either lower mileage 70D or higher mile 85D/90D. I have bought plenty of Audis with high mileage and it has never put me off if the price is right but for Tesla it's uncharted territory for me. Does not mention free supercharging but it is general car dealer, not Tesla or EV specialist so maybe does not know or forgot to mention it. Getting it down to £30k is probably unrealistic, maybe £33k.
Have sent message asking for VIN so I can check with Tesla about free supercharging and any warranty work done for drivetrain or MCU or ift it has any extended warranty. |
Firstly - and most importantly - don't be put off by the mileage. A 100k Tesla is equivalent to a 40k ICE competitor in terms of lifecycle, and should be able to easily reach 250k without much trouble, if properly looked after.
This particular example looks very well cared for (I'm envious of the condition of the driver's seat!), looks pretty well build for a Tesla (no obvious panel gaps from the video walk round..
), and has an almost identical spec to mine, although it's a FL ("sharknose") rather than PF ("nosecone) one.
If I were looking, then a 90D would probably be my preferred one - better range than a '75D, and almost as much as a 100D, in practical terms, and it's always worth trying to haggle, though I'm not sure you'll get far, given the complete unavailability of new MS cars till next year.
If you want to know any more, then I'd be happy to help - my closing comment (and I know I'm biased...
) is that this is an awful a lot or car for around £35k, particularly when you factor in potentially another 150,000 miles of "free" travel - and that would have cost me the sticker price just in petrol bills in my S8!
