No data on replacing the battery and engine
On the YouTube channel Auto Auction Rebuilds with 433 thousand subscribers published a story about the purchase of a Tesla Model S with a mileage of about 480 thousand km.
This story is interesting for at least two reasons. First, the car was purchased for $7,800 and, with the exception of the non-functioning air conditioner, is in good working order. Secondly, the new owner did not find any evidence that the car’s battery was changed, but the experience of operating such cars and the readings of the on-board computer indicate that a fresh battery was installed in the car.
At about half the battery charge, the on-board computer shows a range of 214 kilometers. This version is equipped with an 85 kWh battery, the range of which was estimated by the Environmental Protection Agency at 426 kilometers. The 2013 Tesla Model S in P85 overall looks very good considering its age and mileage.
This is a single-engine, rear-wheel drive model with 373 hp. and with 441 Nm of torque. The new owner claims that the car does not make any disturbing sounds on the road, the air suspension works as advertised, and the car accelerates very quickly.
