You are the reason why I bought my 2017 Tesla model S I love it
Wow! Glad you love your car!!! 😀
I really enjoy your videos
Thank You!!!
I’m glad I never sold it, who cares about price. This is a beauty
It is a beautiful car!
Not sure if you remember but I asked your advice on buying a 2017 model S about 6 months ago, great advice I love this car and can’t imagine going back to a regular car anytime soon.
Wow! That's awesome, I'm so happy you love your car! 😃
i bought my model s for the exact same reasons as you and relate a lot to what you said. I enjoyed this video a lot, thank you.
Awesome! Thank you! Hope you're loving the car 😀
Hey I just bought this same car with 17k miles.... brand new almost.... FSD included and Arachnid Wheels. What an exceptional car. Way less to go wrong. 2nd motor, suspension, sunroof, all failure points
Niiiiice! That's amazing! Hope you love it!
As someone who has researched and read a lot in the past few years about the Model S I really like this channel!
Really like your detailed and calm way of presenting.
Test-drove a M3 LR '19 and a MY LR '22, for a couple hundreds of miles each, but am still wanting the S more.
Still not decided though if I should go for a 2017-2019 pre-Raven or a Raven 2019-end of 2020 LR.
Thank You! I can see why the Raven upgrades would be tempting! Will it be your first Tesla? I'm sure you'll love whatever you end up with!
@@FrugalNotCheap Thank you, I am sure since I usually take a long time to research and by my next product haha. And in the mean time the new model has come out of course. :D
Planning to by it from Tesla probably as I live in Europe, not sure if this would be the best or safest way, but we'll see.
Still have some questions about some options and upgrades of the MS and I'll be looking to ask some current owners about it.
Cheers.
Cheers! Good luck in your search!
I was finally hoping for an update on the car. I recently got a 2017 model s 75d with 61k miles about 3 months ago and I love it so far it’s at 67k miles now and still no problems yet hopefully 🙏. I was also wondering for the center console did the car come equipped with a charger or was that installed? Mine has nothing in the center console so I was thinking that I might have to install one.
Glad you're loving your car! The previous owner had bought the charger for the console, it's handy! It's from Tesla. There are other kinds out there, but they take up more room
If you had index marks in the video for Pros and Cons, or Likes and Dislikes, that would be helpful. Thanks!
Good suggestion! I'll maybe do stuff like that when I FIRE and have more time
Did you update your MCU unit to a new one because I do not have what you have and my 2017 please advise me thank you
Yes! I got the MCU2 upgrade and I think it was well worth it, albeit expensive. I didn't keep the radio 😆
comfort mode is so smooth so light so easy to drive i feel so blessed every day. i love my car so so so so much thank you God!
👍
Hi. I hope you’re well. I pulled the trigger on a 2016.5 MS P90D refresh and absolutely love it. I’m glad I watched some of your videos. M3 was too small for my family with a car seat in the back.
In regards to replacing the cabin air filters, which ones do you buy and where do you find them. I don’t see an option to buy a filter for our generation MS. I only see MS 2021+.
Have you tried or do you recommend any air filters from Amazon?
Hi! Very cool!! 😀
I couldn't find anything good on Amazon either, so I bought my cabin air filter from the Tesla Service Center, their parts costs aren't terrible.
@@FrugalNotCheap Thanks so much. Do you normally just show up and ask for the part? I think I saw in one of your videos that they sold you the wrong filter one time. Do you recall which part number it was?
Yes, I just show up :) That's right, they sold me the one for the refresh cars and I had to go back :( the one for our cars is much skinnier. I'm sorry, I don't know the part number
@@FrugalNotCheap thanks so much! Hopefully they give me the right one the first time. Will let you know how it goes. 😉
Good luck 😆🤞 I bet it'll go well 🙂
Cool, man. Glad you still have it. Thanks for the videos. I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on a 2017 S 75D myself in the next day or two. The prices are so crazy low right now, and I would get an additional $4000 off from the used EV tax credit! Anyway, your videos have been helpful in the decision!😃👋🏼
That's awesome!!! Very cool if you can get the tax credit! Hope you love it!
Hey James, you wouldn’t happen to live in the DMV region?
Well, I don’t know where that is, so I’m guessing I don’t live there😁
Did the same with the 4k. 2018 75d. Under 40k miles. It’s the best car I’ve ever had I love it. It does make some rattles (two horrible but fixed) and I have service appointment (mobile) coming up to fix the busted driver side door pins
Gotcha! It's not hard to do once you've done it a few times, but I don't blame you for saving the trouble lol
Glad you love your car!
i recently bought a Tesla Model S 75D its a awesome car. unfortunately i don't have the hardware 3 but 2.5 computer. do you think its worth it to upgrade? Also what really bugs me in the software at 16:00 at your video you bring up the backup camera, the corners are not finished good i can never unsee that anymore.
Nice! Glad you find it an awesome car, too!!
I think the AP upgrade is only worth it depending on your view on FSD, and your budget. I love FSD and I don't regret spending $5k to upgrade from Navigate on Autopilot
If you mean MCU1 to MCU2, that one is a clearer yes it's worth it, IMO
no I mean like at 16:00 you open the backup camera app and around the camera screen there is a white border and that's not correctly made up, first time I saw it on someone else it mcu I thought I had a bad software. I can't unsee it unfortunately.
Oh no! I'm going to try not to notice that 😆
How recent was yours? I am planning to pick one up today and would like to know if the 75 is good or if I should go for the 100d.
@@JorgeInRealLife mine is from 28dec 2018. I think the d is better because the rear motor of the single motor is prone to leak. But both are still great!
was that charger in the front console an option? i just have a flat spot
Shoot! It must have been, I bought the car used and the previous owner had it in the original box, with different size pieces to hold skinnier or wider phones
@@FrugalNotCheap very hard to find part now. enjoy it
Really? That's too bad. Thank you!
Do you worry about battery health warranty? Will the battery die at year 9? Have you do any research about battery health for model S? Thanks
I don't really worry :) But I will most likely sell it next year while the warranty is still in effect. It's only 85k miles and the data shows you still have 80% capacity at like 200k miles. Many 2012, 2013 cars still going strong. There is a battery health test they can do
Did you have issues with the driver or passenger door panel clips?
I think I replaced clips on 3 doors! Got them cheap on Amazon and they've held up well ever since
With my luck the battery would crap out after the warranty expires. That’s my only reservation about getting an older one
It is a scary proposition. It would be nice to see the statistics, but even then there is a chance of a costly issue
This car is hideous should have gotten a model Y or model 3.
🤣
Holy cow brother, you have to be kidding! The S stands for Sexxxxy!😁
Agreed!
