Tech package with Autopilot is the same as Autopilot 1.0 Hardware.

Tesla doesn't tint windows, at least they didn't at that time. The previous owner tinted your windows. Can't tell from the pictures if the front and rear side windows are the same or not. It they aren't it is a dead giveaway that the windows are tinted, but yours are clearly tinted already.

I would assume it is just someone with too many toys, especially in LA. A loaner would have a lot more miles on it. Odds are it has been in a garage for most of it's life. That being said I wouldn't spend $74k on a car without AP1.

Depends on how good of a deal it is and how many similar cars there are. For example cars with 4 year warranties and Autopilot under $60K don't stick around very long. It feels like the price of these has actually gone up several thousand in the last couple weeks (very happy with my $58.5K AP1...

Currently 3-10 weeks depending on location of the car, status of the car and how busy your local SC is right now.

On a one year old car you are going to take a bath, assuming you bought it new. I would be surprised if it isn't 20% out more less than what you paid and that doesn't include tax. Not sure about Canada, but here you don't have to pay tax on the value of the trade, which makes trading a car in...

Just finished fully charging my car to check where the max range is and currently showing 260 for a 2014 85, so 5 miles (or less than 2% in 2.5 years). Super happy to see that!

Here the HOV Lane is almost always the fast lane, but particularly during Rush Hour where it is just an issue of there being fewer cars in the lane. One of the big perks of having an EV is you can drive in the HOV Lane by yourself.

It actually goes away. It is only present under low power while accelerating at low speed. This seems pretty typical of the milling issue in '14's and the reason for the 8 year warranty. If it ends up being an issue I am sure they will swap it out and I will get a loaner for a few days. The...

Nope, they know how it works, CPO's don't count for them, so they aren't motivated to help. That is why they will try to sell you on a base/base/base MS70 with the tax rebate. The SA I was working with out of Santana Row was great until it became clear I was going CPO and then I never heard from...

Picked up my car this morning, only got to drive it in traffic back to the office. Car looks great, there are a few marks on the headliner, but other than that it looks pristine. On the other hand, there is a definite milling noise when accelerating slowly at low speed, so I may be getting a new...

The 2 year cars are generally much higher mileage than the 4 year cars, so the increase in cost is a combination of significantly lower mileage on the car and the longer warranty. Generally you are looking at $0.25 (maybe a little more on a Tesla), so every 10K miles is $2500, so a car with 20K...

Update on my timeline. Reserved on 5/15, listed in LA but may have actually already been in Fremont (same market, no transfer fee). Originally told 8-11 weeks (Derek was my SA as well and he has been great). Lots of updated including pictures. However he was still saying the same timeline...

Other option would be to get a non-P with lower miles. I pulled the trigger about a month ago on a 2014 S85 with Autopilot and 22K miles for $58.5K. In terms of helping with resale, I imagine Autopilot is going to really help but also increased the price. I understand the appeal of the P, but...

It was what I was told after I put the deposit down. I assume it is probably related to the new higher mileage program, where they were running those through (my pickup location is Fremont). However, I got an email tonight that it might be ready sooner, so we will see. While, I am looking...
