Model S owners - do you recommend it?
Looking to buy used Model S - 2015 or 2016. Love the car overall. It’s not as sporty as other sports sedans - the likes of BMW m3 or Mercedes C43, but very comfortable and really fast acceleration for all practical use cases. The complains I have been hearing are on service and maintenance department - specially around delays in service. This will be my only car, so a little worried about reliability issues. Current Tesla model S owners - do you recommend it? Also, recommend your choice on getting dual motor vs single motor. PS The used model S comes with 4 years 50k warrantee.
People recommend against, would be helpful if you can also post your reasons
Horrible reliability https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/1748024002
Everyone I know who has a Tesla has it in the shop often. Their warranty is great however used means less warranty
Can the old ones even use enhanced autopilot?
itt: people who don’t own a Tesla
I just saw someone post their used s on the internal message boards and I was shocked at the number of things that were replaced recently including drive unit, all door handles, charge port, HVAC, main screen, instrument panel etc.
Interesting, although I am betting on the fact that most issues has been fixed by original owner.
I think he got it cpo as he mentioned extended CPO warranty. These are all repairs since December 2017. This is a 2013 model s
I think you got your mind set because people try to talk you out of it and you just don’t listen. Those cars breaks down, especially the ones that are going out of warranty. Replacing ANY part is expansive as hell overall not worth it is what we are all saying. But you keep talk back on people who said don’t buy it so just buy it already and delete the post.
Thanks for judging me, but that’s not what I am thinking. Tesla is a revolutionary technology, there are early adapters and then there are naysayers. I am neither of those, just trying to collect some feedback from owners. Do you own a Tesla? If not, just GTFO, the post is for current owners
I do and that model s cost me 10k to fix right out of warranty shit head, go buy one and deal with it.
Buy Honda invest the rest on stocks
Yes, please be part of guinea pig so we have more data on electric cars
Dont own one myself but I know 5 people that do. Three S, one X, one 3 All highly recommended it
Surprisingly so many people are saying no to Tesla... as a side note... if you read owner experiences on Quora... you will see that all highly recommend it... two of my friends also like their S and Model X. Go for it!
But most Teslas have delivered 2014 and after. That doesnt say much about long term reliability
That is true too but then by that logic you won’t able to trust any new brand. I guess it depends on the individual...
Get a 3D instead.
