A 2015 Tesla Model S 70D with over 470,000 miles has received a battery upgrade — a “new” 100 kWh battery. The “new” battery was actually a used one in good condition. The fact that a Tesla Model S can be driven 470,000 miles and still be functional is news … [continued]
Tesla electric vehicles have been the clear leaders in the EV space for some time now. They have the longest ranges, are loaded with technology, are safe, and have appealing designs. The only downside is the cost
Ever browsed Tesla’s used car listings? If so, you’ve surely noticed that the company wouldn’t show you the actual car — just stock photos of the models. Now, at last, Tesla has added photos of the actual car being sold to some of its used vehicle listings.
Making electric vehicles affordable (and fun!) has been one of the foundational goals of Tesla and it has officially delivered on the goal of selling a $35,000 Tesla today.
There are a few used Model S on its website that are hovering around the $35,000 mark, with one that can be had for just a hair less … as I write this.
What if you could buy a Tesla Model S for less than the price of a base Model 3? According to Auto Evolution, Tyler Hoover (a.k.a. Hoovies) did just that and “it has a great story. The car was listed on Auto Trader for $32,500. Somehow, the guy ended up paying [an extra] $1,000. Why? Well, the guy selling it had some people in California already interested, so Hoovies had to offer a small bonus.”

I recently told the story of our solar system installation with Tesla Energy. Well, this episode of our Tesla experience is how I came to find the 2016 build Model S 75D.
Having owned a Tesla Model S, and one of the lucky few to have spent time driving the Tesla Model 3, I have a unique perspective on how the two stack up in real life.
As the media never tires of reminding us, the price of a new electric vehicle is still considerably higher than that of a (supposedly) comparable gas-burner. However, one point that is seldom discussed is that a huge slice of the auto market consists of used vehicles. Millions of car owners go through their entire lives without ever considering the purchase of a new car. Now that EVs have been available for several years, a lively used market has developed, making electric driving available to an ever-growing segment of the population.
As announced a few days ago, this week’s #Electrifying webinar is about getting a used Tesla Model S vs a new Tesla Model 3. With various Model 3 details unveiled last night in Fremont, California, and then on the Tesla website, we now have quite a lot to consider in order to make this choice.
