2016 Tesla Model S 60, first EV, a few questions
I finally got my “dream” car. I’ve wanted a Tesla since middle school. Got this on a banging deal and it’s got more than I even thought it did at first. It’s only ever had one owner, a Texan who bought it new and had it since day 1. They took incredible care of it.
As the title says, it’s a 2016 Tesla Model S 60. Here are some of the important specs:
142,000 miles
MCU2
Free Unlimited Supercharging
Battery holds roughly 180 miles
Premium upgrades package (?)
Standard suspension
This thing has been FUN, more fun than I’ve ever had driving any car. Of course I’m not pumping it during every drive since I’d really like it to last me a while. 3-5 years preferably.
Here are my questions:
- what should I look out for with its age and usage? I do not know any of the repair history, so I have no idea if any motors have been replaced, if the suspension has been worked on, etc.
*something to note, my tires are wearing more on the inside than on the outside. Getting some new tires tomorrow.
- what are general maintenance things that I occasionally need to check to extend the life of it? I know about the HEPA filter, radiator
- anything else I should be made aware of?
I feel very lucky that I got this with an MCU2, the newer body style, and still got free supercharging. Feel like I scored the jackpot.
As of right now, the car drives very smooth. I don’t notice anything major with the suspension. No popping, vibrations, anything immediately.
