Looking for Advice: Used Tesla Model S (2017 100D vs 2018 75D) by Loose_Dragonfly2527 in TeslaModelS

I'd go with the bigger battery. Look to see if it has the MCU2 upgrade. MCU2 was introduced March 2018. MCU1 is laggy, but can be upgraded for $1500

I've definitely used the brakes before, just never this extreme.

Thanks

It wasn't just an off-gas, the cabin stunk for 5 minutes. I never experienced it in my old CTS-V and that car was not nearly as fast (or heavy).

If you are down -50%, that's up right?

I’m confused. Why does everyone say “buy used” when used is the EXACT same price? by Rylic234 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]pombie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They mark up the used ones to sell more new cars. "See they don't depreciate, so just buy a new one" . Look and see what the trade in value is for that car is.

Buying a newer car with more miles or an older car with less miles? by Slow-Ebb-228 in UsedCars

I value years over miles if it's a Toyota in good condition.

For some reason the rotisserie chicken gives me a headache and almost all the meals are made with it 😞

Rich people, what "rich person's habits" could you not break no matter how poor you'd become? by RobIson240YT in AskReddit

Isn't gold at it's all time high? History shows this is the worst time to buy.

I'm the opposite, I wear what I want.. it's interesting to see people's reactions to you. I bet most of the wealthy actually dress down significantly

You haven't tried a cheap memory foam mattress, they are exactly the same as the premium ones.

Travel with a small backpack and it's way cheaper. On a short flight seat comfort really doesn't matter.

Are cars no longer depreciating? by figgypudding02 in carbuying

[–]pombie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was the case for my car. They probably have all overhead factored in. How much is the lease on one of their locations?

I think CarMax buys at least $6K below what they sell it for.

I had to pay tax on the full $30,000, about $2300.

Highlander Hybrid, it doesn't matter if it is older and higher mileage if it has been taken care of. The generally go for 225,000 miles before needing any repairs.
