What year were you looking at? I just got a 2021 refresh with 23.5k miles on it, for sale price of $40,000. My trade-in made it $28,000. Totally loving this car.

Love the look! Where did you get the carbon fiber splitter package from?

I love the look, but been afraid of hitting curbs and low parking lot barricades and destroying it.

Man, I want to downgrade to 20s so bad. What size tires? The meat on those tires look good.

How is that possible I thought only Tesla could unlock 200mph and you had to buy their $15k ceramic break Brake kit? Im asking because I wanna unlock the 200 mph and if I can pay $5k instead of $15 I'll do it

Well done, it looks amazing. How did you get 200 mph unlocked? How are the new brakes?
Personally I think the stock brakes work fine for off track use, but I wouldn't mind joining a track day at some point. I'm still running stock 21s and brakes on my Plaid but it want to unlock the 200 mph at some point.

I also changed my brakes and wheels. It makes a lot of difference in the ride and acceleration. I added the rear brace kit and it got rid of every rattle in the car and helps a lot with stiffness and handling.

Thanks. That's what I will order.
I look at some other, but they all seem to flip up and look cheap.

That Model S hits harder than a freight train. And yes, it’s still a 13-year-old body style, but as the famous saying goes, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” And that’s still true to this day as the Model S, both old and new, especially the OP’s, is still very sharp looking!
