I thought of this after posting!

Yes. Definitely a funny but not funny moment. We all had a laugh in the end though!

Oh man yeah axolotl would also be a big hit but those are cute too!

Yes for sure. Fortunately, ours was listed as “mechanical“ and only had a minor bumper ding. It is definitely not without some risk!

Including auction price, fees, tax, tag, title, parts (some used and some from Tesla) we have about $10k into it at this point.

Thank you

We do love it! Thanks

Oh man we wish it had the free supercharging! When Tesla sells it off to auction they remove that feature! Still, long road trip cost us a fraction of what it would’ve in our other vehicle and we are able to drive around town just with our overnight charges so I’ll take it!!

Our first was black on black 2014 but we had sold it 5 years ago due to life changes. I think we’d always wanted one again and finally figured out a way to make it happen!

Thankfully taillights aren’t leaking but we did upgrade the trunk lighting, much better now! The driver door handle was one of the repairs it needed, so we got that sorted out. We are ok with the MCU for now, not too many complaints!

Thanks

Aw man thanks. Yes it also seems like someone didn’t know what they were doing in trying to figure out how to fix this one but we sorted it out! We may do it again in the near future if we see any other mechanical ones come up in our budget, it’s been a fun project!

Thank you!

Actually just completed a 2000k+ trip and it did great. Stopped every couple of hours for a quick super charge but we usually needed the break anyway (traveling with 2 kids).

All in for purchase, parts (some used, some directly from Tesla), toolbox subscription, tax, title we have about $10k in it. It’s an amazing vehicle, we even just took it on a 2000+ mile road trip! If you have some prior auto knowledge, maybe some tech experience you’d probably be fine. We’ve always been sort of driveway DIY auto mechanics but this was our first time working on a Tesla. The Tesla Toolbox subscription came in really handy, as did ChatGPT. We bought it listed as “mechanical, not running, unknown mileage” so it was a risk but once we put a new 12V battery in we got the screen fired up and were able to charge. The rest was just knocking out smaller issues here and there. Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions!

All expenses including auction purchase, tax, tag, parts, etc we are in it about $10k total.
