Tesla Model S

No the modules have fallen off a cliff on them. When I bought the entire pack of a Model S back maybe about 3 years ago, the modules went for $600-800 on eBay still. The guy had them advertised for €400 each (14 of them) on FB marketplace and had his phone red hot. I managed to get them all in a trade deal involving me helping him out in getting cheap parts, advising on his solar and battery setup and that of a friend of his

But now the Model S / Model X slabs simply seem a lot less in demand and prices are down. But hard to tell, there is almost no market for them here in Ireland. Very few enthusiasts around who play with this sort of stuff for home batteries or EV conversions. Maybe a few hundred people in Ireland. Out of 5 million

Beautiful looking Model S Raven in Beshoffs, did anyone here own that?

Seems to be the going rate lately, originally a nearly 100k car, battery and drivetrain warranty for another 2.5 yrs, it’s a lot of car all the same no?

it’s sold 😮

€10k would be a realistic value. I sold a 2016 90D with 210k km for €12k

Even still, 290,000km will put most people off. Its practically impossible to sell a car with such mileage unless it's dirt cheap

Talk about old Model S. Millennium Falcon is back with Valdemar for some work. 413k km on the clock and 13 years old. I got a new battery after a year, so most of that age and mileage is on the new battery

Degradation 23%, which I guess is par for the course

The "extra good trade ins" are only ever on cars that Tesla will sell on as CPO. So typically only nearly new pristine low mileage Tesla cars. All other cars submitted for trade in, are just offered to the trade. Who will of course bid as little as possible and seem to get away with it. Tesla buyers seem to be mostly lazy / cash rich / time poor if they accept low trade in offers for their cars rather than try sell them privately. Which of course is a major hassle in fairness.

Age too. I know it's odd but for what ever strange reason it's cheaper to insure a brand new car.

Same quote of €420 as last year, but I added a lot of extras like driving other cars with comp insurance - something that I have never seen before on offer and is very useful to me - total €500

It would be great to have such expertise in an independent workshop like that in Ireland. Would John Earls be the closest we have to a facility like this ?

There's a new one in Dublin 12 called EV Repair Centre. I was there the other day. It's a big operation already. They had about 20 broken EV's on site
