Take a ride with Dave in his “new to him” 2018 Tesla Model S 100D. Discover the good things about the car as well as the challenges he has had since buying the car. While the economics of the deal were quite acceptable to Dave, some basic things were simply not delivered in working order to Dave by the 3rd party dealer he bought the car from. Plus, when Dave asked for Tesla’s assistance to help, the diagnosis and advice he was given was misguided. Take time to watch this video so you can avoid some of the issues that Dave has gone through. Bonus 0-60 MPH “Fun Run” is at the 3:38 mark.

I just bought a 2018 Tesla Model S 100d red exterior cream interior it has basic autopilot it has the winter package and it had the upgrade 19 inch rims. What do you think? I paid $33,000 directly from the Tesla dealership I pick it up in about a week? What should I look out for thank you for a great video
Im strongly debating a 2017 Model S… any thoughts? Im looking to offset my $350 a month gas usage from my truck and specially since my job just added charging stations that are free for employees.. the purchase is a no brainer.. Would you recommend a 2017 with around 40k miles or a 2021 model 3 with about 25k miles?
Hi Dave, in retrospect how do you feel about owning one of these older model S in 2025. I’m considering a 2018-2020 to replace my model 3. Looking for space for the kids and a quiet, smooth ride
Elon want old ones to be scraped and new ones bought. They don't give 2 fucks about the environmental impact.
You could have bought it from tesla and paid thousands more.
This advice goes for any used car. Do you think a Ford dealer selling a traded in Mercedes knows the car?
They don't. They just want to get out of the lot and therefore well price it well.
I've now but 40k miles on my 2018 100D and I love it.
Cool to see Stan's and little Bar. Thanks for the awesome content
It is EU plug, however not 3 Phase but 1 Phase.
I test drove a 2016 Model X 75D this weekend. I had rented a 2023 Model 3 and liked it. I wanted to see if a Model X would fit my 6'4" frame better. It did, but the car was so antiquated. I knew there would be no CarPlay (I still can't understand this oversight.) but the lane change cameras didn't exist, there were no cars around me on the screen, and the range was only 200 miles. Lame. I'm surprised you didn't hit an alligator.
Great video. Very well spoken and informative
Traditional Auto Dealerships hate Tesla and the cars, They will take them in on trade and resell if they can make some $ but they have no interest in learning about the cars and certainly not doing any service. I have a Model Y (leased) which was my original Cybertruck placeholder vehicle that I'm returning in June. Being tall, I decided to buy a used Model X and got a 2018 100D with 49K miles from Tesla. It like all Tesla used cars came with a 1 year warranty, virtually all options including FSD and was $42K OTD. That vehicle with the same configuration sold new for $150K and it more than meets my current needs.
When I was younger (and poorer) I drove a lot and purchased mostly slightly used vehicles. It was a good strategy then and still is today. The EV market will mature with many more options but it will take something extraordinary to get me to buy anything other than a Tesla.
Love my 2014 model s 60. 130k miles on it charges to 203 still (factory was 208 in 2014). Free supercharging for life out weighs occasional door handle or window regulator, tires etc you may have to replace
how do you find the phantom braking ?
so when buying a used tesla is it better to buy from a dealer or tesla? pros and cons?
This video is more critical of the dealer and not the car.
That is one Phase Adapter. Not 3
Today, it shouldn't be difficult to find out if companies that sell cars have good reviews or not
Maybe you have to have the autopilot 2.0 to be able to upgrade it to MCU2. and it wasn't free
I bought a 2017 100D with unlimited super charging, however the dealer warned me if I register it to my account it might lose the feature. Does this make any sense to anyone?
Be sure to get your free upgrades on your security cameras, and be sure you have the MCU 2 dash and display
upgrade they offered as a recall free
Dealerships are Dinosaurs and they need to go. The middle man is no longer needed.
