Well, I wasn't planning on making this post so soon (my current Mercedes EV lease goes through October), but The Unicorn for me came along and I couldn't resist. Fully loaded P85D, but with a fair amount of mileage. Appears to be in pretty good shape though, aside from deep marks/indentations on the back headrests (which will probably be covered up by my own kids’ large carseats). I grabbed it for $44,100. What do you think?
2014 Tesla Model S 5YJSA1H20EFP63727 | False, Fa | Tesla
2014 P85D (original delivery date 1/1/2015)
- 75,000 miles
- Pearl White, cosmetically looks pretty good with only minor chips/dings
- Black Next gen seats, front and rear
- 19" Cyclone wheels (I would have traded 21s in for these for ride quality and pothole-proofing anyway)
- AP1, obviously
- Rear-facing seats (the only mandatory option for my general searches. The following features bumped it up to my Unicorn)
- Panoramic sunroof (I asked if V1 or V2 and they didn't know; I'm assuming V1 based on late 2014 build date)
- Premium upgrade package
- Subzero Package
- UHFS
- Smart Air Suspension
- Dual chargers
The obvious reservation is that there are a lot of miles. They told me that nothing has been replaced on the car - drive unit, battery, MCU, door handles all original and reportedly working normally. So I will just have to hope that any expensive stuff goes bad in the next 2 years or not at all.
Big thanks to @EV-CPO subscription. I had several email alerts set up just for research and planning purposes, but this was the first one for "The Unicorn" (the actual name of my configuration - I know it's not a true Unicorn in the sense of e.g. P85+ with AP, but now it's My Unicorn). This car was a little outside my budget, so I brought it to my wife to have her talk me out of it, and the opposite happened!
Car is at the Boston area Manheim right now. I don't want to pay to have it shipped since I'm in the East anyway, but you have to be a MA resident to take delivery in Boston. So, they're shipping it for free to Paramus, NJ, and I'll just fly there and drive it home (10.5 hour drive not counting Supercharging stops). Almost all of my configuration matches were out West, so the fact that this one is in the East and I don't have to deal with shipping is another Unicorn feature, really.
I'm in the unusual position of not minding a long, drawn-out process to get my car since I can't get out of my Mercedes B-Class EV lease until October anyway. Good thing it's only $300/mo, not a dealbreaker to have that overlap with my Tesla for a few months.
Pretty excited!
