More money than sense
Dec. 13th, 2021 08:28 pmWe bought a Tesla.
It's a used 2015 model S. We don't have it yet; we're still working on the paperwork and registration and all that rot. We had been hoping to get Tesla to do a "used vehicle pre-purchase inspection" thing, but it turns out they don't really offer that service. And, who else is going to know about them? Well, there turns out to be a garage in New Hampshire that is run by some ex-Tesla employees, but they couldn't get to us until spring. So we did the best we could of inspecting it based on information that we found on the net and stuff, and decided it was beautiful and we would buy it.
We looked at another one a few days ago, but it had obvious problems (one door handle was completely broken, and the passenger seat adjustment would not work at all) and the dealer really knew nothing about it. The dealer for the one we bought was quite knowledgeable about Teslas, and the car is immaculate. (It won't stay that way. We're going to throw bicycles in the back and drive through the muck and stuff.)
