The 2014 Model S 60 did and does 0-60 in 5.0 seconds, not 6.5. There WAS a 40kw car and it was slower. The 0-60 was quoted as 5.2 on the 60kw car I believe. I own one.

Please be careful with the 2012-2014 models having bad batteries. I'd opt for a 2015 and later.

Just a heads up, you can fit 3 smaller car seats in the s

I bought one and love it! Great decision for many of the reasons you stated but until it turned into my daily driver because it was soooo much fun to drive and I feel so much safer in it did I fully realize the difference between the future in the car world. Updates are great, the thought put into the design futures, etc. the list continues to grow. Congrats to Elon and his team! First time EV owner and very happy with my purchase 🎉

As a Tesla service technician I would Never pick a old model s over a new model 3 even though Tesla vision not fully supported still better than dealing with a old model S problems good info though
-
The presenting door handles are a cute but poor design for cold climates. They ice up . Same with the windows . The windows are supposed to go down a half inch to open the door . The work around is ; turn on cabin heat for 10 minutes before you plan to drive . I keep a bottle of isopropyl and a toothbrush in the frunk.

remember to upgrade the hardware in the infotainment system if you want to be able to have the same modern features as newer Teslas. It's cost is probably still around $2500. What do you want the fastest possible charge maybe you have to upgrade that part also do you want autopilot check so The Tesla S you buy supports it
-
Apple Music and Tidal are now also available in Tesla. But then it may be required that the hardware is newer
-
As a previous owner of a 2013 Model S, dont listen to this advice. Door handles, windows, issues with bubbling on display and computer sunroof seal,, chargeport issues, and two drive units. I had 150,000 miles on it, but had to get rid of it because it was turning into a money pit. The Model S may look nicer, but there are less repairs and cheaper parts for the Model 3.

There are those who think that the Tesla 3 is more fun to drive. It is also available with a towbar, if you want a Tesla S with a towbar, you have to buy a model manufactured after 2022, I think. In other words, a towbar that is approved for towing, for example, a trailer or caravan
-
I prefer the size of the model 3 especially if you only have 1-2 occupants most of the time.
-
I see that the Infotainment system on your Tesla S is slow, it probably needs to be upgraded to MCU2. Someone claimed that Tesla also replaced the screen itself. Then you get support for Netflix, for example
-
I bought a used 2013 in 2016 and it is awesome. P85 will still charge to 230 mi and everyone that gets in that has never been in a Tesla thinks the big screen and acceleration are Amazing. Have 111k on it. Awesome car!
-
So what kind of repairs/parts swaps are expected for 10 years old Tesla?
-
if you're buying used pay the premium and buy a model s within the 8 year unlimited mile full powertrain and battery warranty it would cost you just a bit more but would save you a tremendous amount of headache
-
The infotainment system is perhaps what makes the car perceived as modern or not. so an old Tesla that hasn't had its hardware upgraded might not be perceived as particularly modern today? at least maybe not for those who have followed the development
-
So you think full electric cars are a better buy than a hybrid or a fuel efficient gas car? Do you think the risk of replacing a battery makes buying used electric cars less attractive?
-
They ended up with a sunroof on the Tesla S 2017 or 2018 ?. the claim was that there was a problem with the sunroof
-
“why you should buy a used 10 year old iphone with its original battery”😂
-
Tesla S with the new design I think it came in 2016 or 2017. Then maybe the computer in the car will be faster too, especially if you buy one that was manufactured after 2018. Or who have had their hardware upgraded
