Questions about purchasing my first Tesla

[brkaus]

$34k. Dec 18 build. MCU2

Good. Mcu2 is a must in my book.

Mcu1 was the only real problem I experienced with mine. So glad to have upgraded it.

Tesla just offered me $20k for a 2017 S100d. 94k miles. Very Good condition (imho) except for a parking lot dent in the passenger rear quarter.

The price is right. If the car looks good and you like driving it buy it.

I’m a proud new owner of a model S! This car is in amazing condition. The seller was fantastic. Got an amazing deal. He even threw in a gen 3 TWC. Couldn’t be happier. Also happy to spend a day with my old man. The first half of the trip he was knocking EV’s. Second half he offered me $3k more than I paid. I told him to get lost He was Making friends at the charging stations haha. Good times!

You even got the rear facing seats - cool! Did you get the free unlimited supercharging? I would be officially jealous

I wasn’t sure. Had to look it up. Total of 13ft elevation drop from the office home in rush hour traffic over 34 miles. Not too shabby.

Kids are loving the rear facing seats! No free supercharging but our office has free charging, albeit only 18mi/hr but better than nothing. We recently got solar panels at home and are generating more power than we consume. Built up about a months worth of credits over a year. Getting a TWC installed soon.

Thanks! It was a cool 65 degree rainy day here in Chicagoland.

You’ll get over hypermile driving in no time with that car lol. Used to do the same in my Honda Insight Gen 1. Enjoy the car and congrats soon the snow will fall and all the data will go away.

Wasn't really hypermiling. Too much traffic to go any faster but it's nice to know it's so efficient when traffic sucks. Slow/bad drivers are now even more annoying. Thanks a lot Model S LOL. In the winter we will just ignore the energy stats

Funny isn't it. First rule of EVs... if you don't think you will make your destination. Slow Down!
