Absolutely love this thing. First EV, coming from a 2011 3 series BMW. Night and day from the Beamer.
great deal, from where?
That’s a nice deal
Beautiful car
Good deal; I’m picking up my 2020 MS LR+ with 83k miles for 26k, tomorrow!!!
I’d say so. My 18’ MP3 with almost 90k just sold on trade in for 16.

What did you get?
Just curious how much does typical insurance run on these second hand yet premium vehicles.
Yes!
Get back to us when you gotta buy a $30,000 battery next year.
Did you have FSD? And do you trade in at Tesla. I assume you meant 16k
That’s a good deal. I love the black. I probably would have recommended the 100D but I drove a 75D X in many trips and it just required a few more extra stops. If you’re not in a cold climate you’ll be fine.
Are you smokin crack? A 75 kWh pack costs $9k, plus a few grand for labor. [https://greentecauto.com/comprehensive-guide-to-tesla-model-s-battery-replacement/](https://greentecauto.com/comprehensive-guide-to-tesla-model-s-battery-replacement/) Besides, that pack will last 300k mi or more.
Dumb comment adding no value to the conversation
VIA tesla insurance my M3P IS 140 with some extra built into the limit policy. It really depends what state, and what insurance. Statefarm was just as cheap but with lower limits. IMO it’s not insurance that’s the most surprising, it’s the registration
*snow in the background of his pic*
This gen of the Model S is the best imo. A true luxury experience
A truly great car that will make you smile daily. I went from a 3 series to a 2016 S
You are going to love it. I've had my 2017 model s 75D for 6 years now and get excited every time I walk up to my car
Still rocking my 15' 85D from like five years ago. That FUSC makes it hard to move on from though lol
Totally agree- I have owned every model from 2019-2023 except for the Cyber. But a 2017 model S P100 D for 30 K with only 36,000 miles in January. Husband had a 22 model S plaid and let me tell you can definitely tell a difference in the quality of craftsmanship that was being done before they went to mass production. Even my 23 model X plaid that I owned prior to that was no comparison in quality to the 2017 model. In case you’re wondering why I went from a model X back to the model S 2017, unfortunately I traded my model X in for an Audi ISQ8 ETron last year and had it bought back as a lemon. For reliability, I went back to Tesla. However, I refused to buy anything new from Tesla for my own personal reasons and because of the huge depreciation of the new models.
$379 in Texas, full coverage, $500 deductible, I forget limits but there not jaw dropping, over >30 age
I don’t think this is a great deal. For those that think so, does anyone wanna buy my ‘18 100D for this amount-ish money? 120K miles
*They're
Excellent deal the 75 batteries from that era last basically forever

Obviously he means 16k
It’s not what
Does this allow for FSD? Looking for a new car in the market right now for you
What was the last year before mass production of tbe MODEL S?
where are you located?

how should it have hw4 you muppet?
🚀🚀🚀
Texas
I bought mine with 49k black with fsd for 15 last fall
lol muppet.
How is the battery condition?
People keep saying this, but never saw proof. I had my model s 2018 75d do 550k km, and i had to changed it because service mistake lol
2018 means it has extremely high chances to not be even hw3, and you ask about hw4. Hell, maybe it's hw5
Why not buy pre-owned from Tesla? You can get a better deal
[deleted]
I have the same exact car (w/cream interior). Absolutely love mine. Other than a couple of door handle modules and headlights due to fade of drl it’s been rock solid. Still have original 12v battery. Just coming up on 135,000m.
Good deal, drive it until the battery fails and scrap it, you got your monies worth
What the hell 26k for a 2020? That’s crazy
Basic AP from 2015 is still better than 98% of the cars on the road.
Excellent choice.
Was about to say the same. Beautiful car and the most reliable of the batteries.
$18000 car with the repair bill of a 100000 car. Good luck op
How's the maintenence? I already bought my model 3 recently. But I did see a 2017 model S for like 17k at one point I was very tempted.
I have a 2017 model s 75D with 116k miles. It’s still drives like new. Just amazing.
What years are best before they went mass production?
My 2018 battery was ok - I had it from 2019 till just this past fall and trade it for a used 2024 and got 15k - had about 72k miles. Bms system blew and stranded me at the supercharger. Had to fly back as I was on a road trip to pick it up $800 later not counting airfare. But the battery was fine, under warranty till 100k miles, bms not so much
It's pretty good with the 75d. Main issue seems to be with rear wheel drive Large Drive Unit cars that need a "coolant delete", as they can get a leak that will destroy the motor. Edit - to be clear, only RWD cars had the LDU.
It seems to be random things that pop up that need service which has been consistent since I've owned the car. No signs of getting more costly to maintain like an ICE vehicle. Bought in sept 2019, currently has 138k miles. Service record details below. Spent a total of $2414 on non-elective work with Tesla over 6 years. Plus tires about every 3 years. 2020 12V battery replaced (car notification). Under warranty, mobile service $0 2021 Jan: Left Scroll wheel dislodged, replaced. Mobile service. $272 Aug: left tail light out, replaced, service center $344, 2022: Feb: service center. Free HW 3.0 upgrade plus infotainment upgrade (mcu2) $1500 (elective) Apr: mcu2 touchscreen adjustment, service center $0 July: rear passenger window not operational, regulator replaced. Mobile service, $330 2023: Apr: service center. car notification low coolant, schedule service. radiator coolant leak, radiator replaced, $650 2024 Nov: all mobile service 12v battery (based on car notification) replaced, $234 Rear passenger Door handle would not present. Handle system replaced. $383 Colored Cap of side mirror had paint chip. Replaced cap, $202 2025 Profuse replacement needed based on car notification, service center, $0
BMW dealership around Philly
Mines $181 per month full coverage. More than doubled from my 2011 3 series.
Hope to find the same when my lease is up, even if you have to replace the battery it's still a great deal for a car these days, let alone one of the fastest on the road!
Yeah I'm around Philly but think I'll never go over 100 miles in a day, as long as the wife keeps her Mazda. So far 120v charging (lvl 1?) gets me back to 80% every morning after my driving so I'm not too worried about battery size or range. We'll see how it goes though.
41k more miles is a big difference. Probably around the $15k range from private seller.
You think replacing the battery at ~130k wouldn't be worth it if the car is in good shape?
I'm rarely driving more than 50 miles in a day so range is the last thing on my mind.
seems crazy cheap. wonder why
Yes. Now replace the .medallion with a Borg one.
75D Doesn't have this - only performance variants did.
Holy crap original 12v!? Awesome :)
KBB trade in on it is around $15k. Clean car fax.
With that kind of predictive power, your crystal ball should tell you stock market positions to take xD
The 75 does - I have it. RWD only cars got the LDU.
Exactly - NOT the 75D.
OP, buy a third party battery & motor warranty. Beautiful car.
Yes? That was my original point in saying the 75d was good?
That thing will last you longer than a brand new $50k car I can assure you that
I didn’t have that experience in my 2017 75D. It would barely make 130 miles highway on a full charge. Wish I did have a battery that lasted because I loved that car… one of the very last ones to still have the sunroof, and I had that thing open almost every day over the summer.
If you like it then don’t worry what other people think! Especially on here lol
That's interesting, I'll look into it. I'm seeing the prices of new motors could be 8-15 grand. So good thought.
Does that include free supercharging
Mayne i wish i had that kind of deal. Bought mine 2 years ago with 50k miles and fsd for 27k. Now i feel ripped off
This is wrong. All “P” variants have it as well. The “D” variants without being performance “P” do not have it. All versions not being either P or D do have it.
I’ve owned over 10 teslas. I’ve been in this and every other group since the beginning. The #1 thing I hate to see with new owners who start off with an out of warranty car is the when the battery or motor goes out they come and post how much they hate tesla when it was completely avoidable from the beginning if they bought third party warranty. Safe driving & enjoy!
It’s not obvious when you say you sold on trade. The wording is weird. People would say I got a trade in value , I traded it for, or I got X as a trade in.
Pre-owned 2020 performance with 90k miles is all tesla has in preowned inventory and it’s listed at 33k. Tesla imo prices higher and strips FSD. The one positive to getting it from them is the added free warranty
? What do you expect the cost to be?
Depends on the market. Are you from the US? I believe in Europe, a similar example (Raven) sell around 30.
So you think it’s possible he meant $16.00? Cmon dog. What else could it mean
What range are you getting?
Wow! Congratulations and welcome to Tesla family! Where did you start looking for such deal?
Yes that’s a good deal. Teslas last a long time. Only thing to change ages the tires.
It has another 200,000 miles on it, so, yes!
2016
Look at the context of his comment and what OP said
Same! Just got the air suspension adjusted and it just rides like new now. Probably go another 10 years.
About 210 miles on a full charge
Ouch I'm still getting 210 on my 2016 MS.
Ahh yes US. 30k is what im seeing many at now, everything priced under 27k sold in days. I asked for this one to be put on hold; I had 5x black model S in my watch list they all sold before the listings aged 1 month
As much as I love the Model S, I don’t think I could talk myself into paying $18k for an 8 year old car.
Pretty :)
Bigger battery than the 75D, almost certainly more range at 100%. 88% battery health.
Thanks grammar police
No 2018 didn’t come with free supercharging. I purchased a 2016 model S 75, with 71,000 miles and free supercharging for $19,500 in California 4 months ago.
Wow! That’s incredible. I had to switch to a 2021 MS because I was tired of constantly thinking about the battery on the old car.
Make sure you go to your mechanic to check car suspension and replace all liquids.
2018 was a good year for the Model S. I owned a few and they were all rock solid.
No. Probably not. A buddy just bought a 17 in the same ballpark. Within a week the air suspension went out (+4k). Within 3 months the HV battery went out. (+14k). The car was about 2 months outside the warranty period for any help on the HV.
Door handles air suspension and lot going south on model s
Nice. What range are you getting?
"My 2018 Model 3 Performance with almost 90,000 just sold on trade in for 2016" ? Holy mother of reading comprehension.
I paid 20 for my M3P 2021 with 85k
M3 LR 21 plate 33kmiles around £17/£18k
So that means the same thing is guaranteed to happen to me and because of that, it's a bad deal?
I owned this exact car, but it with 33k miles and sold it with 104k miles, no major issues. Very well built car, still miss it. My lease is a 25 M3 which I like, but I miss the hatchback and extra space of the MS.
Not a bad deal, but that is before the Raven drivetrain and adaptive suspension which are both really nice improvements. Also, 75D is a small pack, especially if you live in a cold climate.
I hear ya. I ended up with this cause I couldn't talk myself into a 2020 with ~30k miles for $33k, so here I am. It's still such a massive improvement to my day to day driving, ok with the year. Guess I'm going to learn cost of ownership of a high mileage model s though.
My 2016 Model 75 S with Enhanced Auto Pilot has Coil Suspension and Solid Roof purposely to avoid potential reliability issues. Coming up on 112k miles. I still get 212 miles on a full charge. Over the years I’ve upgraded to MCU2 which included HW3 computer. I’ve replaced the 12v battery twice along with tires and wiper blades. I’m finally changing the cabin air filter, lol. One issue that has recently come up is a faulty charge port door sensor but that’s been the extent of mechanical failure with the car. I went ahead and purchased FSD for $2K. Watch me drive this thing for at least another ten years 😇😍👍
Great to hear! Seems random what things will break. Just need to avoid the motors or battery failing to avoid the big costs.
Bummer. Hope you're enjoying the newer model.
Just picked up my 2021 model Y performance 86k miles for 24 out the door. I absolutely love this car. Coming from a 350z. So much speed, so much room, thing’s a dream.
If the car is in good shape, I might spend $10-12k on another battery, it depends on what replacing the car with something similar might cost. IMHO
Good question
I have the same exact car, same exact color... I LOVE IT!!!
Thanks for run down
You could have gotten an Ioniq 6 2024 SEL AWD with 0 miles for 26k…
Even if it does happen there are independent service centers that can help repair for a fraction. Carolina EV is a good one
No way id get an ioniq 🤣 too ugly for my taste. It’s also more comparable to a model 3, in which case I’d get a model 3. For my 2nd car I wanted more of an executive luxury cruising feel vs a strong daily commuter, albeit I will drive it daily short distances.
I think I know some of those reasons, and if my guess is true then you're absolutely doing the right thing. Tesla Model S and X before the 2021 Palladium generations were, like we both said an agreed, an actual, luxury EV experience that's second to none, especially the Model S (the 2016-2020 gen is my favorite car of all time) It sucks Tessy decided to cheapen out in favor of more hp and a design even more minimalistic than Apple, and not in a good way. Even reviewers noted they managed to turn the GOAT of EVs (Model S) from the best to the worst EV. Also no stalks is asinine and an instant deal breaker. I currently have an EQB in my home country (we don't have official Tesla presence yet), and I regret getting it instead of importing a used Model S from the US for less. Everytime I go back to the US I rent Teslas, including the aforementioned, beloved Model S🌹 Note: my EQB is a double lemon (7, yes, SEVEN defects) yet my country doesn't have lemon law, so stuck with my lemon till 2029🥲 Germans should stick to ICE vehicles ngl Enjoy yours😁
Not good deal. I seen it for 15k
Thank you
