Congrats! I'm getting ready to buy mine tomorrow (deal already made). 2016.5 P90DL with 44K miles and all my dream specs for 39K. Can't wait to pick it up.
@@ke0bryantI wanna take the plunge myself same model same price nearly but I’m scared cause I got two Lexus and I don’t wanna run into problems mechanically that I can’t afford to fix .
I have a 2015 model S purchased it four years ago when the model threes first started coming out. It was definitely was more bang for my buck back then I put over 200,000 miles on the car doing multiple cross country road trips free super charging, unlimited mile warranty on the motor and battery. It’s been amazing! Good luck to anybody looking for a used one. It certainly worked great for me. My eight year warranty runs out in a few days. And I am considering getting another used one since it was such a good value.
@@knpstrryea! On my 3rd Motor( under warranty), new front end parts, new screen, bunch of handles, windows and also rear cinch motor. I would say about $5k out of pocket. Plus many sets of tires
My wife has a performance 2023 Tesla 3 which is a great vehicle. I recently bought a 2015 Tesla S 70D with over 100,000 miles in excellent condition. These are 2 different cars. The performance 3 is basically a beautiful sports car - I compare it to our old Subaru WRX STi. The Tesla S is luxury car with a lot more room (more useful space than my 2021 Subaru Outback Onyx). If I was traveling a lot I would go with the S but the 70D does have less range. For pure fun driving and just getting around the performance 3 is a blast. The enhanced autopilot on the old Tesla S (AP1) beats the autopilot on the new 3 hands down. No phantom braking, reliable performance, great lane change function and still has summon feature. Not upgradable but the best Tesla has to offer until they truly get a reliable FSD : )
My recently bought '15 used P85D looks and feels great. Free super charging makes it our road trip car.....No sunroof issues, but that wind noise will be addressed very soon. Aftermarket can bring it up to '16+ look. I may get 21inch rims from the newer models, but it will eat up range(maybe a 20inch as a compromise.) Chrome delete(chrome ages it badly imo), CF spoiler, tint and roof screens- and were good to go!
Make sure if you buy a Model S older than 2018 that you check for MCU2 is installed or spend the money to have it upgraded from MCU1 to MCU2. It's well worth it. also, if you buy from 3rd party you still get free unlimited Supercharging. Be aware that those years have had the Supercharging speeds reduced for safety... so they will not charge as fast as newer models, but who can beat free? you can drive anywhere and super charge for free. what other car allows you to go cross country for free?
Thanks for the video. I'm looking at a 90D 2016 with the refresh with updated autopilot with cameras 54,000 miles free supercharg 30k with 1 1/2 yearTesla warranty remaining.
I plan the exact same purchase. I can't find one thing. If I buy one with Supercharge free will that free charging work on my way from the shop since It will be not written on me yet so I can't register into the Tesla app. I called Tesla and they said that it would not work till I'm able to register with proving ownership, but the operator on the phone wasn't sure he just thought. Why im asking is because I'm planning to go buy a car to the country where they are much cheaper and is around 1000km drive back. So it would be nice if supercharge-free work on that way back.
Good review, Im in the process of getting a 2015 Model S 90D (First older Car purchase) with only 40K miles on it. Got it for around 30K so way under market price for used right now. Its in perfect condition and has always been garaged. For sure if the price is right and cars in good condition i would defiantly pull the trigger on a 2015 Model
Great price mate I got my P90DL last year when prices were sky high. Paid £36700 so still a good price all things considered. I love launching it 😂🏎️🏎️ I raced a BMW M sport the other day he was very surprised to see me smoke him off the line 🤣
You'll love it. I bought a 2014 Model S about 2 years ago now. At the time it was the best deal in the country....times have changed. But I still love it and plan to get a new Tesla next year. Either the refreshed Model 3 LR or a used P100D. I haven't decided yet.
The market is collapsing I’ve been watching it every week for over a year and I can’t pull the trigger on it cause it just keeps dropping. That car here in Illinois is worth about 26k now
Crazy price but it was 7 months ago, a model s from 2015 only cost 23 to 26k€ currently in Germany. Only thing that would scare me is the charging time of 1h.
I bought a new 2015 Model S 85D and I still love it. It still feels tight and in very good condition. Yes, I have replaced a lot of parts around the suspension and door handles and things like that but thats just to be expected after 8 years and 22.000 km. I was about to sell it and replace it with a Model Y (since I cant get hold of a Cybertruck in Europe) but I decided to keep my Model S and just service it and make sure all the parts for roadhandling is in good order. The free supercharger is also a big advantage. The only thing that I worry about is if that the battery breaks down, very expensive to get a replacement. But I have never had any problems with that and the degradation is minimal. If it happens, its now possible to fix the battery instead of replacing it. Mostly a simple error but of course not easy to open and fix, and then seal it again. But I had no problem with the battery yet, so Im keeping it :-)
Drop it, tint windows, change wheels, carbon duck tail, fl upgrade with carbon hood and I'm set, it's fast enough, smooth daily and almost zero maintenance besides brakes and wiper fluid
Are you sure you’re clicking the right thing to activate it? Make sure to UA-cam how to activate Autopilot. It took me a bit too There’s two knobs on mine on the left of the steering wheel. I had to pull it forward twice to activate mine
I'm looking at a 2015 Model S 70D. Its got over 80K miles. Whats your battery say for range? I'm going to be using A/C and accessories. I'm not going to be a range geek. My commute is 22 miles each way.
You'll be fine. I have a 2013 S60 and it gets about 175 miles per full charge. My commute is the same as yours and I've had no issue with range for the last 5 years. My car is at 167k now.
It’s more likely that that door has been opened up at some point to fix some thing and it just never got put back together right. I actually think the build quality in the early Teslas is better than the build quality now.
I have found plenty of model S for 25k due to it having 100k miles does anything think it’s worth it still? Only going to be used for work & home to save money on gas
I recently bought a 2013 model S 90. 33k miles for 25k. It was the best purchase ever i ever made. Its red with black interior and red trim. Great speed and milage. I also for the tesla headquarters in Austin so I get free charging. I will never go back to a normal car.
dude i’m in the process of buying one rn, like literally the same exact color, same rims, same interior, only difference is that it’s an 85D. this is the first car i’ve bought on my own and i’m 19 so i’m hoping i’m not making a mistake here. also the price of mine is 22k so idk why yours was 40k used though. i’d say market difference but also the one i’m getting has virtually no wear and tear apart from a little scuffing a little under the pillar where the seatbelt comes out of. also i’ve only watched a min and 12 seconds so hopefully i don’t look like an idiot by typing this haha. also my mileage is right above 67k. congrats on y’all’s car! hopefully you like it! (gonna finish the video now haha)
@@WhosinParis it’s cool asf. i’m actually gonna try to trade it in soon tho bc the front two door handles stopped coming in and out. so i have to jam a key into the crack to open it up bc it’s like 1.2k per door handle to fix or sum lol. so imma just trade it in for a newer one. if you can, try to get at least a refreshed 2016 model s or a 2017 fr. i think the new computer came out in 2018 tho so might wanna try for that but if it’s out of your price range try to get at least a refreshed 2016 fr
I can get a local model s85 not d with 60k miles for $16k. Car looks fine. Just not sure about the cost of maintenance and no warranty but claims to have free supercharging. But I heard sometimes the free super doesn’t move over to new owner. Do you know how to find how to test the battery ?
THANKS SPOKEN,FOR SHARING THIS STORY AND THE PROS AND CONS OF THIS VEHICLE…most of our cars have been 4-5 years old when I purchased them and they were driven a lot over 200k …and they were not a TESLA…SO addressing the issues you mentioned,I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO BUY IT 👍🤗💚💚💚
I picked a 2015 Model S P85D over a new 3 or Y. Way less of the older S on the road vs the 3s and Ys everywhere and counting. Free charging, adjustable air suspension, opening sunroof, insane plus, launch mode, the hatch back + space, and so much more.
@mhh1995 The handles x 2, an air shock, and a parking break. Also the rear motor was replaced under warranty with the latest version that fixes the major leak issue.
Bought my used Model S in November 2023 for $2k with about 90k miles on it. It’s a used car, so a few minor things like scratches and dings, but overall it’s a solid car. I’ve already put about 10k miles on it. Had into the shop to have the rear top glass replaced as it was cracked when I bought it. They loaned me a 2018 model 3 overnight and while it was a fun car with FSD, it just didn’t feel like the same quality to me. The model 3 felt like a nicer version of the Dodge Neon, whereas I feel like the model S is built with more heavyweight materials and I don’t feel unsafe taking it at higher speeds. Would recommend the 2015 model S over a newer mode 3 any day.
Definitely take my 2015 P85D over a model 3. Granted it is a big car… but 0-60 in 3 seconds is no joke… very roomy and fun to drive. It has air suspension which is a plus in any Tesla…
@@dopeskaterat95 depends. Tesla supercharger, if you are below 20% will charge you to about 50-60% really quickly. like 15 minutes. Once you hit over 50% you get throttled a little. Overall, 20% to 80% is about 40 minutes. At home, you will charge fully overnight with time to spare, and it is also the time that electricity is the cheapest. You will always be fully charged if you overnight charge. It also turns off once it hits the charge amount. It costs about $4 Canadian to go from 20% to 85%(200miles or 320km added)
We own two and the wind noise is not present in either or our Models. If you are in the market (even way better now), get one (like both of ours) with lifetime free Super Charging. Ask and look into it and make your purchase contingent upon successful transfer of lifetime free Super Charging to you as new owner. We purchased both of ours used and successfully had the free Super Charging transferred. Energy is only going to go up in price...
only thing i dislike about these 10 years old EVs is NONE knows how they doing internaly... batteri dies ? driveline ? we will see the next couple of years how many batteries will fail.. im most on the fence by buying one because if the batteri goes. well then the car is total.. also why i see alot of people selling there tesla´s right before the 8 years batteri gareentee runs out.
Without a warranty, they are a $25k Risk, $20k for battery $5k for drive motor. Have a large surplus of cash on hand, if you buy one out of warranty. I expect out of warranty models to get very cheap, very soon(well under $20k). Like Mercedes, great cars but very expensive to maintain out of warranty, so owners dump them cheap. Tesla warranty is 8 yrs.
Out of pure interest, are you an owner of a model S? Have you personally had to change the motor or battery in a model S? Do you know a person (not from the internet, or a friend's friend) who has had to change the battery or the motor in a model S in the past year? As a person considering to buy one, I am genuinely interested to hear are these comments you sometimes see online based on personal experience. Thank you in advance for your reply.
@@Khaled-eo9mr not true, I literally just found 2018 model S 100D with 20k miles on it for $46k lol. Just do some research online. (It won’t let me link it here for some reason)
@@xdae Depends on your budget brother, if you can afford 40k id take that due to how many improvements are made from model to model with tesla. 3 years of innovation means a lot!
I have a 2016 p90d ludicrous 60k miles with every package available MSRP was 160k+ All I can say is my god is it great. I was looking at a 3 and couldn’t get past the look. The 3 is super ugly to me and I found the build quality poor. Also no odometer yikes. The p90d has enough luxuries for me to feel comfortable and the thick steering wheel is a sport thing, it’s not for everyone but for me it’s a must. I love the space it provides and I don’t get the same wind noise, at all. I find the 3 suffers from so much outside noise especially on the highway. My tech is a little dated but not to the point that it bothers me. My biggest issue is range. My Tesla gets about 410kms per charge and for most things it’s okay but trips god no. No shade at 3 owners I hope y’all love your car but it just isn’t for me. I like luxury cars as that’s all I’ve known and the 3 wasn’t built with luxury in mind which is fine. The 3 is a damn fine car (not looks) but it’s meant to compete with a maxima, accord, sonata etc. so if people are coming from a bmw 7 series, Mercedes, Porsche, even a Lexus will definitely be disappointed. People who care only about tech will definitely be disappointed in a 2015 model S.
Not for $40k not even. Why? The battery. Unless Tesla gives it a new decent warranty, absolutely not. Anyway, right now is the absolute worst time to buy anything of this sort. Car and house prices are / will be crashing. Who knows where the bottom is.
Tesla's are a great price right now especially in the UK because of our energy crisis. Especially if you haggle down on the price 😃 people are picking up a P90DL for £30K! Super car 0-60 speeds for 30K is ludicrous 😜
I had the Models S P85D, never had a worse car in my life. Drove it so carefully and still it managed to get me to the Tesla autoservices 44 times. Changed battery at around 175.000 kilometers beacuse it stoped charging to more than 100 kilometeres range. It said range 502 km. but drove 200 km. Worst car ever.
just about when you made this video. i was in the dealership buying mt first electric vehicle . 2015 Model S with 69000 miles. The dealer really didnt know anything about it. But once i got it home i took it to a Tesla dealership and they looked everything over and gave it a clean bill. i pay less than 30k, and with my broken trade it was closer to 25k. So far i give it 8 out of 10. Simply because they have issues with some features like Summon that dont work as advertised. And from everything ive read, this par for course as updates are continuously being pushed. i do nor regret the purchase but unless battery technology comes down in price, i will likely sell it in two years.
I was lucky enough to grab a 2015 Model S p90d Ludicrous with under 50k mileage, clean title and Autopilot for about $37k
Sheesh what a steal

I’ll take the S over the 3 and Y. I like to do a lot of long distance Interstate traveling. I want more room and it has a longer wheelbase.
How many hours do you drive per day? The slower charge times might drive you crazy.
We own two and the wind noise is not present in either or our Models. If you are in the market (even way better now), get one (like both of ours) with lifetime free Super Charging. Ask and look into it and make your purchase contingent upon successful transfer of lifetime free Super Charging to you as new owner. We purchased both of ours used and successfully had the free Super Charging transferred. Energy is only going to go up in price...
only thing i dislike about these 10 years old EVs is NONE knows how they doing internaly... batteri dies ? driveline ? we will see the next couple of years how many batteries will fail.. im most on the fence by buying one because if the batteri goes. well then the car is total.. also why i see alot of people selling there tesla´s right before the 8 years batteri gareentee runs out.
Without a warranty, they are a $25k Risk, $20k for battery $5k for drive motor. Have a large surplus of cash on hand, if you buy one out of warranty. I expect out of warranty models to get very cheap, very soon(well under $20k). Like Mercedes, great cars but very expensive to maintain out of warranty, so owners dump them cheap. Tesla warranty is 8 yrs.
Out of pure interest, are you an owner of a model S? Have you personally had to change the motor or battery in a model S? Do you know a person (not from the internet, or a friend's friend) who has had to change the battery or the motor in a model S in the past year?
As a person considering to buy one, I am genuinely interested to hear are these comments you sometimes see online based on personal experience. Thank you in advance for your reply.
exactly the dilemma I'm in right now, not to mention winter conditions are around the corner...
I train Jiu-Jitsu with a teammate that drives a 2015 Model S at 160k miles, still original battery !

Had to find out. There's a 2016 with around 70k miles with lud+ and autopilot for $26k. Yeah think I'm going to snatch it.
How much u think 2020 model S longe range plus going for with 25-30k miles
You can easily find a 2018-2019 used Model S for 40k bro... dont go that old for that price
Where can i find those with that price?
Yeah but it’s only the 75D trim and don’t even have 300+ miles to a charge
@@Ozzz77118 Just google it man
@@Khaled-eo9mr not true, I literally just found 2018 model S 100D with 20k miles on it for $46k lol. Just do some research online. (It won’t let me link it here for some reason)
@@xdae Depends on your budget brother, if you can afford 40k id take that due to how many improvements are made from model to model with tesla. 3 years of innovation means a lot!
I have a 2016 p90d ludicrous 60k miles with every package available MSRP was 160k+
All I can say is my god is it great. I was looking at a 3 and couldn’t get past the look. The 3 is super ugly to me and I found the build quality poor. Also no odometer yikes. The p90d has enough luxuries for me to feel comfortable and the thick steering wheel is a sport thing, it’s not for everyone but for me it’s a must. I love the space it provides and I don’t get the same wind noise, at all. I find the 3 suffers from so much outside noise especially on the highway. My tech is a little dated but not to the point that it bothers me. My biggest issue is range. My Tesla gets about 410kms per charge and for most things it’s okay but trips god no.
No shade at 3 owners I hope y’all love your car but it just isn’t for me. I like luxury cars as that’s all I’ve known and the 3 wasn’t built with luxury in mind which is fine. The 3 is a damn fine car (not looks) but it’s meant to compete with a maxima, accord, sonata etc. so if people are coming from a bmw 7 series, Mercedes, Porsche, even a Lexus will definitely be disappointed. People who care only about tech will definitely be disappointed in a 2015 model S.
No odometer? What are you talking about?
the model 3 has no screen behind the steering wheel. its just empty space.@@mattl7967
Not for $40k not even. Why? The battery. Unless Tesla gives it a new decent warranty, absolutely not. Anyway, right now is the absolute worst time to buy anything of this sort. Car and house prices are / will be crashing. Who knows where the bottom is.
Tesla's are a great price right now especially in the UK because of our energy crisis. Especially if you haggle down on the price 😃 people are picking up a P90DL for £30K! Super car 0-60 speeds for 30K is ludicrous 😜
The battery out of warranty is a huge risk. Degradation will result in failure any moment
I had the Models S P85D, never had a worse car in my life. Drove it so carefully and still it managed to get me to the Tesla autoservices 44 times.
Changed battery at around 175.000 kilometers beacuse it stoped charging to more than 100 kilometeres range.
It said range 502 km. but drove 200 km. Worst car ever.
I would
not want that small tesla 3
Only buy tesla with powertrain warranty.
just about when you made this video. i was in the dealership buying mt first electric vehicle . 2015 Model S with 69000 miles. The dealer really didnt know anything about it. But once i got it home i took it to a Tesla dealership and they looked everything over and gave it a clean bill. i pay less than 30k, and with my broken trade it was closer to 25k.
So far i give it 8 out of 10. Simply because they have issues with some features like Summon that dont work as advertised. And from everything ive read, this par for course as updates are continuously being pushed.
i do nor regret the purchase but unless battery technology comes down in price, i will likely sell it in two years.
You talk like elon himself. 😂 Is that you???
You complain that's loud, I drive a fucking Renault Clio of 2001 and I think it's more than fine
Are you chewing something while talking......lots of swallowings...
