<div dir="ltr">Yeah, no such thing as a "P70D", so yes, it is just a "70D". Being a dual motor, non-performance model, it won't have the Large Drive Unit or the issues that come along with it (coolant intrusion being chief among them). On the note of checking battery state of health, if you can download the ScanMyTesla app, you'll also be able to see the brick voltages to determine if there are any significant imbalances (doesn't tell the whole story, but is useful nonetheless). With the beta version of the app, it's even possible to view the Ah of the bricks, though that feature tends to be a bit buggy...<br><br>Obviously the charge port issue will need to be taken care of at some point, but that is certainly doable DIY, or if you're not that mechanically inclined, someone with a shop (like myself) could do that work for you. On the hatch, I'm guessing the actuators are having some sort of issue? If you look at the car in person, you can view the faults yourself by putting the car into service mode. Simply go to the Software tab, then press and hold on the screen where it says "Model S" for ~5-10sec, and when you release, a text box will pop up. Simply type in "service" and hit enter, and that will bring up service mode. There should be a menu in there for "service alerts". <br><br>My personal daily driver is actually a 2015 70D, which has 456k miles on it (purchased from the original owner 3 1/2 years ago with 408k on it). It's certainly had some work done to keep it on the road, but overall it has held up exceedingly well. For the price, I think the car sounds like a pretty good deal if you are specifically looking to get an S. Personally if I were in the market these days, in the $15-20k range I would probably be looking at a SR Model 3, which has much faster charging and more range than a 70D, but the older Model S certainly has other advantages over a 3 depending on your use case. <br><br>Alex Bessinger<br>QC Charge #2<br>8750 NE Emerson St. <br>Portland OR, 97220<br>Call: 971-444-5064<br>Text: 503-847-9345<br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Mar 10, 2024 at 10:26 PM Otmar Lists Account <<a href="mailto:forum@evcl.com">forum@evcl.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">2016 is not a bad year.

If it routes you to superchargers then it’s available. If it has a red bar that says “not enough energy to get to destination” then supercharging is disabled and a possibly expensive inspection would be needed to reenable it.

One way to do that is the plug the car in and in the app slide the slider to full charge while range is set to display in miles. As you slide it the miles should be shown. Or you can use miles remaining and percent to figure out what 100% would be. You can then compare the predicted miles with the original miles rated for the car. </div><div><br></div><div>I’d also sit down with the service screen (many videos online on how to activate service mode) and review dignostic codes myself, and check the HV battery page to look for any possible issues.</div><div><br></div><div>It does sound like a good deal! </div><div><br><div>
