Used Tesla with high mileage - is it worth buying? [FORUM] What breaks in the Tesla Model S?

An interesting question appeared on the Reddit forum, namely: is it worth buying a Tesla with high mileage (approximately 129+ thousand kilometers). Users not only tried to answer the main question, but also described their experience with a used Tesla.

Internet users responded that there is nothing to be afraid of when it comes to batteries and the engine. These are components with a long warranty that rarely fail. One electric bike battery repairer said she would not be entirely concerned about the health of used Tesla batteries because the company places a lot of emphasis on proper design.

If something breaks, these are the little things:

the first version of the glass roof was leaking, but this is easy to fix,
there are problems with the touchscreen, Tesla will repair it under warranty, if it still exists - the cost of a new one is $ 1;
on older versions of cars, door handles fail regularly, especially microstats and cables inside them, which do not allow opening the door; a guide to fix the problem has appeared on Youtube.

During the discussion, it turned out that the user who launched the thread was inspired by the used Tesla car for sale. Another admitted to him that ... he had already bought it. 🙂 You can check the whole chain here. It is also worth reviewing the questions asked on the Tesla Model S official forum.
