    Great video! after comparing a used S vs 3, I bought a 2015 S85D from Tesla in April 2019, with 12,004 miles. It was a returned 3 year lease and felt like a brand new car. At that time, it came with a 4 year/50,000 mile warranty starting from my delivery date, free supercharging and free premium connectivity. 19” wheels, Technology Upgrade with Autopilot 1.0, all heated seats, premium sound system with subwoofer, and panoramic sunroof. Best part was the price, about 60% of the sticker price. I LOVE it.
    A few months ago I had Tesla upgrade the MCU1 to the new MCU2. Now I have all the games and video theater of a 3. Still prefer my beautiful S85D!

    I am one of the lucky ones. Although I live in central Texas, I bought a second hand 2013 Model S from an individual in Sacramento, California in April, 2020 sight unseen (except in photos) with 91K miles. The seller posted over 30 photos and answered ALL of my questions regarding condition of the car before I made the purchase, but if you ask the right questions and verify the veracity of the answers, then you can come out fine. However, buying that way is still a gamble.
