In 2021 I bought a 2014 Model S 85 RWD with 54,003 miles on it for $28,700. Retail price was $92,100. Had to replace 2 door handles and a window regulator but my gas car window regulators had to get replaced also. With the money I save on gas and oil changes and tunes ups I've already saved a ton over my old gas Prius. I love my Tesla. There's nothing I would change and I'll never go back to a gas car. I love driving past gas stations that are $6 a gallon. Model S battery is engineered to go between 300,000 and 500,000 miles so I should still have a long way to go before I need to replace the battery.
Thanks for sharing!
If you spend the money you save on gas for fixing your Tesla.. what’s your saving?? Lol
@@pierregilbert6953 I don't need to fix anything on my Tesla. My last gas car I spent more fixing that then I ever have on my Tesla.
I'm kinda skeptical that you are saving a lot of money on gas vs Prius. I also bought model S recently and got rid of my Prius, but I realized that Prius was such an efficient car that energy cost is very comparable with EVs. Don't get me wrong, I love my model S too, but I feel that the displayed range on my Tesla is never true.
@@pierregilbert6953 I've had my Tesla for over 2 years now and have only had to replace 2 door handles and a window regulator, meanwhile each month I don't pay $6 a gallon for California gas, I don't spend $90 for an oil change every 5 months, I don't spend $300 to $400 for a tune up and spark plug change and timing belt change and all the other expenses involved with a gas car. I actually look forward to going to work because I get to drive my Tesla. My Model S is the funniest, fastest and most technologically advanced car I've ever owned and it's also the second safest car ever tested right behind the model 3, so yeah, I'm saving A TON of cash everyday but hey, if you want to stick with your gas car using the same tired old technology your grandpa used, do whatever floats your boat bud.
Nice review. Purchased my 2015 P85D 17 months ago. I have no issues with the car until the one-year warranty from Tesla expired. The rear trunk actuator went bad, it’s more common than not. It was a $300,00+ repair. This has been the only repair so far. I did update the MCU 1 to MCU2. It was well worth the $1,500. And the car came with free connectivity but not supercharging. This car is the fastest car I have ever owned or ridden in. It was not the primary reason for the purchase but it was high on the list. No regrets in my purchase and will enjoy it for quite a few years down the road.
Nice! Thanks for sharing
I am highly considering a 2015 P85D with 60,000 miles on it. Thanks for the feedback
considering similar options, is battery still doing well?
How much different is the p85d v 85d same model year?
Bought a 2015 Model S in 2020 as a CPO from Tesla. Including 4 years of full warranty. Added 30.000 km since then. Battery heating and hand brake was fixed by Tesla on warranty. As there is no automatic trunk, no sun roof and no air ride there is not much that can break.
I upgraded to CCS charging and MCU2. Now this Tesla is the car that can recharge on any recharging station in Europe 😁 including Chademo.
A police officer crashed into my car during winter. All was well fixed. The mandatory security check was passed without any issues detected.
Model S is a really nice, cool and good car.
In the meantime the price tag is higher than what I payed because of energy prices and no new Model S shipped to Europe since 2 years.
Thanks for sharing!
great thorough honest review
👍
Great detailed video dude, just picked up a 17 100d today….super pumped.
Nice! That will be a great car!
Thinking about the same! Only thing I need MCU-2, so I may see if they can come down on the price to make up for it..
Great video!
I bought my rear wheel drive 2016 facelift MS 70 a year ago. Now the value of the car is £5-6k higher than a year ago.
I spent a bit of money on two new Michelin tires and a wheel alignment and new vipers.
I put around 11k miles in it and I don’t see the tires wears out at all so if there is a tire wearing problem I suggest to take it to Tesla to align the wheels.
Thanks for sharing! These are great cars !!
Thank you for the honest review. Really looking at trading my SUV for a Model S. This helps.
I’m glad this was helpful. Thanks for watching!
Love your videos. About to buy a used model s, how did you find out that your s had free supercharging?
I bought it from the original owner, so he was able to verify that it transferred to me. You can call Tesla with the VIN and they can verify if it has free supercharging that will transfer to you.
What was the rear bumper reinforcement for? Because of the kids seat add on?
I’ve been debating a 2015 P90D with basically all the upgrades and the MCU update and your video is definitely informative.
Yeah the rear bumper reinforcement was added because I added the rear facing seats. Good luck, these are awesome cars!
Thank you so much!
I'm really excited about buying my model s!!
What year are you buying?
Hey! Great video! Would you recomend taking it to a Tesla shop to check the battery out if it's a high miles?
It wouldn't hurt to do that
I just got the same car. It’s amazing!
Nice!! They are sweet cars
@@Myksgarage do you ever worry about the battery?
I feel Tesla is slowly improving the fit and finish quality of its vehicles. I think they’re still years away from the quality of Toyota or Honda. However they’re years ahead in battery and electric motor efficiency. And a decade ahead in auto driving software. They keep improving incrementally so I don’t think any major auto company can catch them in the next 10 years.
I agree!
Just bought a 2014 loaded P85D. I missed a bubble in the tire sidewall when inspecting. Took it to Tesla to go over the car. 4 new tires, 2 bent wheels, 2 control arms, 2 suspension links, alignment, new 12v battery, new battery heater and $8400 later I was good to go lol! I thought $40k for the car was a good deal, now I know why.
Dang!!!
@@Myksgarage crazy thing is, it didn’t ride bad before the work.
Love the videos. I have a 70D Model S 2016 and it is literally the best car that I have ever owned. Have you had to replace the brake pads yet? If so was it expensive? I need to have the brake pads replaced for mine and was curious as to the cost. I can't find any info online. Thank you in advance.
I have not replace the brake pads, I am going to do a DIY video when I have to, these brembo brakes are very simple to change the pads on no need to take it to the dealer if you're not afraid to get your hands a little dirty..
@@Myksgarage ok, thank you. Keep up the good work with videos, I enjoy watching.
Good Model X brake pads are $50 per pair. 100 bucks for the whole car.
I also have a 2015 P85D. My favorite car of all time. I would suggest to get a 3rd party warranty that covers the battery and drive train! Well worth it.
Good tip, thanks for watching!
@Myks Garage just a suggestion, but it would be great to see another follow up review of your p85d! Love your videos :)
What warranty companies are offering coverage for teslas BFTV Canada?
Where did you get your tires from? I wasn’t quoted that from tesla
Onlinetires.com
I have the same backsplash in my kitchen lol
Nice!!
I've heard the older model s charge slower at the supercharging stations, just curious if you have experienced that on your road trips
Yeah they do charge slower at superchargers and that makes for longer road trips
@@Myksgarage I’m looking into a 2013 model s now, just curious how long you spend on average at the charge station on long road trips?
@@youngz13o You'll look at an easy 30-40 minutes for 20% -> 80%
I'm shocked you didn't mention the MCU, I'm having to get mine replaced in my 2015 because of the screen leaking. Have you guys bit had this issue yet?
Well I just did the MUC upgrade this week, so I had not incurred that cost at the time of this video, here's a link:
ua-cam.com/video/F1wz4naL7ls/v-deo.html
Mine was leaking. Paid a little over $1,600 to upgrade.
Seems a lot cheaper to own compared to a BMW or Mercedes.
Had to have the door lock actuator changed for my Mitsubishi Lancer and they charged me 427 for 1 door 😭.
Yeah, I've owned 3 BMWs in the past , the Tesla is must less expensive to drive and maintain/repair
How do you find out how f the car has the free superchargering
The current owner should know. You can call Tesla customer service with the VIN and ask if the free supercharging will transfer to you.
I been looking at a 2014 at a local dealership, but I just can't seem to go ahead and make the deal. The miles and price isn't bad, but for the same price, or near I can get a new vehicle that is under warranty. That's really the only real problem.
Yeah the big question mark with these Teslas is how long with the battery and drive train hold up.
So when you buy the s model... they all come with free super charging??
No not all of them. Tesla removes it if the car was ever traded back to them or ever sold through a dealer auction. So it’s becoming a rare feature. If your looking at buying g a Model S, call Tesla Customer service with the VIN number and they can confirm if it has Free Supercharging
@@Myksgarage tha ks for the game 😉
Regarding your model S, where did you bought the car?
I bought it from a family member
@@Myksgarage ok because I saw your tesla model S screen under charging & it showed no recent supercharge. Last week tesla service said their loaner car like that no recent supercharge because tesla owned the car.
Another tesla used car owners their screen is $0.00 not no recent supercharge.
Last week I called tesla & gave the vin number the car I will buy & tesla said it is transferable & the code SC01.
But that car on that screen showed $0.00 on April 2023 not no recent supercharge. I’m so confused
I told the dealer to produce carfax vehicle report so that I will know if there a auction history or not. As per car salesman said it didn’t went to auction. The car mileage was only 20k plus. Thanks 🙏 for your reply 😊
What would have spent on gas for that same period?
Probably abound $1,700 in gas
Thanks, I’m looking for one. I found a really nice one, but the mileage is a bit high at 125,000.
@@Myksgarage dang gas must be cheaper there ☠️ that would cost me anywhere from $4,000-$5,000+ for 16k miles on any of my cars here in California
where did you find tires for $790 please tell.......
Onlinetires.com
I thought the lifetime charging was not transferable.
Yes it is!!
16k miles in a year, i do that in a month driving uber.
This would be a great car for Uber!
Buy tires with mileage warranty
Yeah, the mileage warranty is cut in have if you run staggered tire sizes and can't rotate front to back
2 year review?
I'll need to make an updated video
@@Myksgarage Would be awesome, thinking about buying one but edging between yes and no :)
Cheers!
As a long time car mechanic I am highly skeptical of ever getting something I can’t fix myself. Rather get a Civic SI or maybe a Prius Prime. Not a good review for gear heads. This is a review for family men and soccer moms who make 100,000 a year.
Yeah because this car is basically like a large iPad With wheels it has a lot of tech that only Tesla can fix
This is boring. Tells you nothing other than his preferences.
