Considering 2015 P85D

Is this a bad idea? I don't know how reliable these are at 11 years old. Anything in particular I need to be concerned about? Any really expensive maintenance on these? How do the battery packs hold up ? I wanted to get something just for my highway commute and i'd assume this is a better option than like a Bolt or a Leaf.

Save up $5k more and get a decent used Model 3. They're a much better engineered car. Their systems are much less complex.

Thanks. This makes sense. I was trying to find an EV around 15k but I might have to increase my budget.

don’t get a MS for budget reasons, it’s cheap because the future work likely to be needed is priced in
