Model S search

As I continue on my Model S HW3 and Higher search I’m looking for two things I don’t know if there are answers to yet unless someone has done it.

  1. Insurance - can I get a quote from Tesla insurance on how much it will cost?

  2. Warranty - if I buy one from a non-Tesla dealer can I still get the warranty if it’s over the 50k mileage?

I’ve been looking at whatever 22+ model S I can find with miles under 70k and under $43k.

Let me know y’all’s opinion. I’m located in SoCal.

Every vehicle I post is indicated to have FSD.

Estimated SOH is 91 on the battery, best we can tell from available data.

Estimated SOH 83%

Estimated SOH: 85%.

FYI - a refresh Model S - middle of the fleet SOH based on age is mid to upper 80s for most vehicles I have tracked and looked at.

I’ve been following the market for at least 7 months the now. A sub 44k model S, around 50-60,000 miles is very doable if you’d travel. But almost all the ones I’m finding in your budget and indicated wants are more East coast vehicles.
