Ive run my Peal White P85 since 2014 now 135,000 uk miles. Being one of the first in the UK Tesla service was just starting, my car always had a slight patch of water under neath, Tesa said we have topped your coolant I said OK where is it leaking? By 75,000 miles on a hot day! (yes in UK!!) my car went snail mode 65mph max. Get home theres an email from Freemont 2am US time. " We have detected a battery fault, we have arranged a replacement please call this number" 2 days later new battery, no leak. It was the 4 way coolant valve under the frunk (known fault now). Little known fact the RWD S drives better than the AWD, steering is so precise....I like it. Also Tesla upgraded 0-60 to 4.0 seconds and it seems made the car drift....I like it! Had all 4 door handles upgraded to V2.5 (latest mechanism so no micro switches on old V1 back plate plus car software upgraded so all 4 have to be done) now no more failing handles. My car runs the 19" wheels powder coated black also have no sunroof just black carbon so C of G so low....I like it. What a car. I service it sometimes myself, parts are cheap go Ebay. This car will go forever and free to run Supercharging .....I really like it! 2024 update 140,000 miles. Driven a couple of the AWD Model S and its still true the RWD are nicer to drive with precise steering and quicker to turn light front end. Parts are so cheap on Ebay I wait till I can buy a pair of suspension parts with the rubber bushes and replace bot sides as a pair on the rear it renews the tight feeling just like anew car, all rubber bushes deteriorate with age/miles with parts so cheap its worth keeping these old classics sharp.
Oh man! I absolutely agreed with you! Older teslas just much better and built differently from the one for sale today. I’ll do my 2023 X soon, just to show it. Older quality S - one love!
I think there a lot of videos and data, you can do all yourself, even a main battery, but you need a lift, a lot of beer(if you need it) and bunch of friends who’s crazy as you to do so)
I have a dilemma. In my country there is a p85d from 2013 with free Supercharger, premium package, winter , autopilot 1 , new battery,motor and suspension for roughly 24000 euros and 270000 km.And there is a model 3 long range with 220000 km , 2019 ,no warranty , autopilot enhanced for 27000. I have acess to Supercharger everyweek ( only once a week) . I make 45000 km/year , maximum per day roughly 300 km (once per month). What would you choose ? The more efficient and hitec model 3 or the FSUC model S?
Just sold that car to my friend and we did transfer it no problem. So we transferred that on a same car 3 times already and no problem. What’s the history of a car, did someone buy it from tesla inc at the auction? I know places(probably you can Craigslist it) and they can unlock it if you really want it. Teslas like an iPhone, whoever got a right tools, can make a plaid from 2013 tesla S.
@@AndyLaRides thanks for your reply. I got this from the original owner a friend of mine. I drove it for a week before I bought it from him and used the supercharger about 7 times. When we did the transfer I could no longer even use the supercharger. Now they’re asking me to pay to activate supercharging. I don’t mind paying for supercharging but don’t want to pay $2500 just to have access to superchargers and still pay per kilowatt to charge. Real bummer
@@Laissez_Faire I think that’s the main target for them now. Dropping prices for new 3 & Y, used cars prices crashing, only way to compensate that, get every single tesla on a paid supercharger, and raise prices by 0.01 cents, so you not gonna feel it, but in a count wise of cars, they will fell a profit.
15% after 30k, is a lot imo. Typically you should see that much afte 120k+. However if it's keeps degrading at that rate before 120k the battery warranty should cover it.
Sold private party S and Xs with free charging does not transfer free supercharging. Tesla automatically takes this away and I don’t know why reviewers keep saying this . I own this particular model so I know first hand
I sold this car to my friend and free supercharge remains same. This month my friend sold it to someone else, still free. Most of the time I see it’s staying with a car. Maybe my case unique, or rules changed…
@@jokulhaups309 Tesla does not know when there's a transfer, Tesla knows about the transfer when they do a service to the car, that's when whoever is doing the service could remove the Free supercharging or leave it if it's not an A-hole
@@AndyLaRides I bought it 3 weeks ago and you know when you're supercharging you have nothing to do so yesterday i was just messing around and i found out how to turn it off so i did then by just stepping on the brakes it turns back on , but reading more miles, to experiment i did another supercharge and in the phone App finished at 240 , but in the car kept supercharging for 10 more minutes adding to 265 , it's like if the computer contradicts itself. I refreshed the phone App and then showed 265
