Buying a 2015 Model S in 2023: Worth it?

[StevensCadet]

I was lucky enough to grab a 2015 Model S p90d Ludicrous with under 50k mileage, clean title and Autopilot for about $37k

I bought a Model S D90 with 21K original miles, it is still my dream car ! especially at $28, 500.00. Blessed for what I have.

I have a 2015 model S purchased it four years ago when the model threes first started coming out. It was definitely was more bang for my buck back then I put over 200, 000 miles on the car doing multiple cross country road trips free super charging, unlimited mile warranty on the motor and battery. It’s been amazing! Good luck to anybody looking for a used one. It certainly worked great for me. My eight year warranty runs out in a few days. And I am considering getting another used one since it was such a good value.

My wife has a performance 2023 Tesla 3 which is a great vehicle. I recently bought a 2015 Tesla S 70D with over 100, 000 miles in excellent condition. These are 2 different cars. The performance 3 is basically a beautiful sports car - I compare it to our old Subaru WRX STi. The Tesla S is luxury car with a lot more room (more useful space than my 2021 Subaru Outback Onyx). If I was traveling a lot I would go with the S but the 70D does have less range. For pure fun driving and just getting around the performance 3 is a blast.
The enhanced autopilot on the old Tesla S (AP1) beats the autopilot on the new 3 hands down. No phantom braking, reliable performance, great lane change function and still has summon feature. Not upgradable but the best Tesla has to offer until they truly get a reliable FSD : )

My recently bought '15 used P85D looks and feels great. Free super charging makes it our road trip sunroof issues, but that wind noise will be addressed very soon. Aftermarket can bring it up to '16+ look. I may get 21inch rims from the newer models, but it will eat up range(maybe a 20inch as a compromise.) Chrome delete(chrome ages it badly imo), CF spoiler, tint and roof screens- and were good to go!

Make sure if you buy a Model S older than 2018 that you check for MCU2 is installed or spend the money to have it upgraded from MCU1 to MCU2. It's well worth it. also, if you buy from 3rd party you still get free unlimited Supercharging. Be aware that those years have had the Supercharging speeds reduced for safety... so they will not charge as fast as newer models, but who can beat free? you can drive anywhere and super charge for free. what other car allows you to go cross country for free?

Ive been seeing 2012-2016 model S between 12-25k all over kinda makes me nervous but also excited.

[shujayethossain]

What is the range now on a full charge?

Good review, Im in the process of getting a 2015 Model S 90D (First older Car purchase) with only 40K miles on it. Got it for around 30K so way under market price for used right now. Its in perfect condition and has always been garaged. For sure if the price is right and cars in good condition i would defiantly pull the trigger on a 2015 Model

[LHall-tuxp]

Thanks for the video. I'm looking at a 90D 2016 with the refresh with updated autopilot with cameras 54, 000 miles free supercharg 30k with 1 1/2 yearTesla warranty remaining.

[HoangNguyen-mcli]

Do you get free supercharging for it? Your model S is 70D right?

[KenLahne]

how long does it take to fully charge?

[jimmykelly]

The market is collapsing I’ve been watching it every week for over a year and I can’t pull the trigger on it cause it just keeps dropping. That car here in Illinois is worth about 26k now

[metallicaguy]

It’s crazy how these used to cost $85, 000+ back in those times and how I can get a NEWER 2018 one around $37500

[djy]

This was exactly what I needed to make my decision. Thanks 👍

I bought a new 2015 Model S 85D and I still love it. It still feels tight and in very good condition. Yes, I have replaced a lot of parts around the suspension and door handles and things like that but thats just to be expected after 8 years and 22.000 km. I was about to sell it and replace it with a Model Y (since I cant get hold of a Cybertruck in Europe) but I decided to keep my Model S and just service it and make sure all the parts for roadhandling is in good order. The free supercharger is also a big advantage. The only thing that I worry about is if that the battery breaks down, very expensive to get a replacement. But I have never had any problems with that and the degradation is minimal. If it happens, its now possible to fix the battery instead of replacing it. Mostly a simple error but of course not easy to open and fix, and then seal it again. But I had no problem with the battery yet, so Im keeping it :-)

I plan the exact same purchase. I can't find one thing. If I buy one with Supercharge free will that free charging work on my way from the shop since It will be not written on me yet so I can't register into the Tesla app. I called Tesla and they said that it would not work till I'm able to register with proving ownership, but the operator on the phone wasn't sure he just thought. Why im asking is because I'm planning to go buy a car to the country where they are much cheaper and is around 1000km drive back. So it would be nice if supercharge-free work on that way back.

[Larry-bmez]

to anyone thinking about buying an old model s, take a look into Sc01, free charging

[tiloalo]

Crazy price but it was 7 months ago, a model s from 2015 only cost 23 to 26k€ currently in Germany.
Only thing that would scare me is the charging time of 1h.

19k for 2015 model with 92 thousand miles a good deal? Model 70D
