Looking at used 2021 S

[diver110]

There are a few around. One in Fort Collins, CO was delivered in Dec. 2020, but as a 2021 model. The 0-60 time is slower, 3.7 seconds, rather than 3.1 seconds listed for the 2021-2022 normally. I guess I would rather have the faster time, but I am also wondering if the car has all of the 2021 updates. If the 0-60 is slower, maybe other stuff is also different. Does anyone know when the first cars with the faster time were delivered? Any words of wisdom on buying a used 2021 generally?

Whoops, put this in the wrong place. Sorry.

I don’t know about the acceleration but the S and X produced in 2021 and after (not Model year 2021 produced in 2020) have new technology like card key, 12V Lithium battery, AMD Ryzen computer...

And this yoke thing, a new interior, double paned glass, new fascia, wider body / tires, etc.

Thanks. The yoke seems like a good marker for newer versus older, no?

Yoke and the horizontal screen are unique to 2021+ refresh (palladium).

Thanks again for the feedback. So it turns out that all of the used 2021's I could find selling for closer to 90K were the old style. The newer ones (and some of the older) tended to be in the 99K+ range. For that price, I would prefer to buy new. The wait is not a problem for me.
