I specifically wanted this model and year. I live in an apartment so home charging is out the question. With free supercharging, I can easily weeks, for my commute, without charging. So thats an extra cost I dont have to worry about. 200+ miles at 85% is great for a 10 year EV. The 2013 model was a bad year and the 2014 and 15 was a bit too out my range. For under 27K, you cant beat itMay 09, 2023

To make it easy we have 3 Model S 2-2012 and one 2013. Our kids have the 13. We bought the first from you in 2019 with 45K on it. Both the 12s are the signature series that come loaded with every the extra seat in the rear on one. It is for the kids so seats 7. Great power with the 365 and the 416. Only concern is if you get the 21 inch rims you will be changing them to the 19 when you need new tires. At over 6000 lbs they are tire eaters. Especially if you drive them hard. 116k on the one we bought in 19 and came with a 100k warranty on the battery and at 98 K Tesla noted degradation. After all it is serial #120. They replaced it with a remanufactured at no charge. All 3 came with free charging, and many others extras. Good value. The last one the 13 we got off of Guru with 112K for $20.800 in March 22 a month ago. It charges still to 260 miles . Signature series are a sleeper. Saw one today with about 85 K way below market. Cant go wrong if you pick them up right.Apr 14, 2023
