Apparently, Tesla are clearing out their inventory stock of Model S and X cars (potentially a refresh might be on the way if you believe the rumour)

I wonder if they will drop the prices further this month of unsold stock?

£32,200 for a facelift 2016 Model S 75D with 1 year Tesla warranty and unlimited mileage warranty on battery and drivetrain until Dec 2024 too.

Ok so it's done 83k miles (probably mostly motorway I would assume?)

Would you consider something like this as opposed to spending the same money on a brand new EV that is smaller and cheaper, like e-niro or ID3?

I think that Model S is good value but it's very hard to tell what sort of condition its in as Tesla have this weird compulsion to post rendered images on their site rather than detailed hi res photos like everyone else. It'd pay to have the CCS mod done and it'll be a fine car.

Bizarrely, a few months ago, all of the used Teslas did have detailed photos of the actual car when I was browsing used S and X models, but now they have reverted to the rendered images. Those actual images seemed to show a fair amount of scratches, dents etc even on the lower mileage cars when I was perusing them.

Anyway, each of the used Model S cars on their site have a disclaimer saying there may be some visible damage to the cars.

This is what's allowed according to their site;
Cosmetic wear and tear is typical of a used car and does not affect the functionality of the car. Your car will exhibit cosmetic wear and tear that includes, but is not limited to, the following:

Painted Panels
Scratches up to 2.5 cm
Dents up to 1 cm
Stone chips

Unpainted Panels or Exterior Trim
Scratches up to 7.5 cm

Glass
Stone chips (passes local roadworthiness inspection guidelines)
Scratches

Wheels
Rash up to 1 cm

Interior
Signs of usage on upholstery and interior panels such as markings,
discolouration, small tears or stains up to 2.5 cm
Signs of usage on entry and exit points

Rubber Seals and Trim
