I travelled across the country to drive the Lowest Cost Tesla for sale online that isn't wrecked. What does this old Tesla feel like? Why does it cost less than $20k? Let's review this Tesla Model S!
Here is the car I drove. When I rode in it last week it was around $17,900. Looks like the seller has since dropped the price down to $16,195 by the time I'm pushing this video Live.
Looks like he sold the car so I took down the link here

I have 2013 Tesla Model S and I’m the second owner. My battery dead around 120000 miles and thought I’d get so much more but it’s original back then. New tech is different. I deal with Tesla with my replacement and was told I could not get the 100kw over my 85kw version. Replaced my battery April 2022 and had to wait over month for the replacement. The only greatest part about waiting was the price of the battery decreased from 23k 😮 to $12.5k so I think I saved whole lot and so glade that happened. The tech also said that the casing from the original pack no longer sealed so if driving in a high flood around would have differently killed it. Bought my car back in 2018. Still have free charging after battery replacement so based on the registration

Owned a 2013 85 and there’s a lot that adds up besides the HV battery replacement. The drive units go like crazy (had three replaced under 100k miles) l, dc to dc converter is expensive and has to be bought used ($2500), mcu2 upgrade should occur as the original does leak ($2k) and last the air suspension. Amazing vehicle to drive, but there’s much more than the HV battery to think about when owning one out of warranty.

These early Model S Teslas are a great value. You get a very high end luxury vehicle for very cheap. Our 2012 Signature is holding up very well. Such a smooth ride and low maintenance. The car continues to get software updates and get better over time. Originally came with 265 miles advertised range and theoretically now will charge to 257 (charges to 181 miles range at 70%).
