I have one of the first Canadian red multi-coat Model S's, a 2013 P85 with 45,000km on the odometer. Other than some company recalls/upgrades, it had only been in for service to replace the 12V battery in year 4 and to fix the tire sensor system twice, all free of charge.
In my 4+ years of ownership, I have never had a major problem and I only brought it in for its first service a few days before the end of warranty, in order to look for imminent problems. It got a clean bill of health and I wish I had saved my money and not brought it in for service at all.
Oh, and the crazy thing is my husband rear-ended someone with it around 2015 and I was sideswiped by a large truck in 2016 - repair cost was $2,500 and $18,000 CAD respectively. So my classic Model S has survived two major accidents with very extensive body damage, and still runs like a dream!
