2022 Tesla Model S That I Love. 1200 HP. Thoughts?

Guys, I have fallen in love with this Model S. Here are the details: 2022 Tesla Model S Plaid, finished in Midnight Silver Metallic with a Cream interior.

The odometer on this Model S currently indicates approximately 13,800 miles.

The attached Carfax vehicle history report lists no accidents or mileage discrepancies in this Tesla's past. It also confirms that it has been registered to one owner in California from new.

According to the window sticker provided in the gallery, this Model S is a Plaid model, and notable factory equipment includes adaptive air suspension, full LED lighting, a Premium Interior with carbon fiber decor, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, and Full Self-Driving Capability.

Notable modifications reported by the seller include 21-inch Signature SV303S wheels, a Brembo front big brake kit, stainless steel brake lines, and a round steering wheel.

Tesla introduced the Model S, the first car it developed in-house, in 2012. It was one of the first cars that proved EVs could be more than overgrown golf carts. It has undergone numerous powertrain and software evolutions during its life cycle, including a 2016 update that added an improved charger and a new-look exterior design inspired by the Model X, as well as a 2021 refresh that introduced the Plaid model and yoke steering wheel.

Power comes from three electric motors, which draw electricity from a 100-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack to zap the four wheels with 1,020 horsepower and 1,050 lb-ft of torque, according to third-party estimates. The EPA gave the Plaid a maximum driving range of 348 miles when fitted with 21-inch wheels.

I like that car too. Bidding is at 40k with 40 days to go. A low mileage 2022 Plaid with HW3 should be about what, 60k?

1200 HP? Wow.

WTF?

I made this comment in another thread. These EVs ruin it for the supercar crowd. Family sedan that will do zero

0-60 in under 2 seconds on a drag strip and around 2.2 seconds on regular pavement. 9.23 and 155 mph in the 1/4 mile. Just crazy.

Every new car ruins it for the collector car people too.
An XKE used to be incredible. Now a Honda Odyssey will beat it on a road course.
Heck, my Silverado High Country will blow the doors off of the Trans-Am I used to think was fast.

Tell me about it. I was in a stoplight drag race in my mom's XK140MC, besides the 300SL the fastest production car you could buy in 1955. My nemesis was a 35 year old mom and her two kids in the back of a mini-van. I went through the gears hard and she still beat me to the merge.

Do one bid now to make sure it all works then swoop in eBay-style an hour before it closes on the last day and put your max in! My unsolicited advice

I have an account and have bid before but never won an auction. This car just intrigues me with the perfect stance and look and the low miles.

Snipe it at the end! Just do it!

I like the interior and full steering wheel, although I could probably get used to the yoke. This might be the nicest 22/23 Plaid I've seen in a while.

For those interested in buying a used Tesla and plan on using FSD consistently, consider looking for one that has a lifetime subscription to FSD tied with the car. Lifetime FSD is tied to the car and not the owner, so you could find a good deal out there if you planned on getting lifetime FSD anyways.

· Aug 7

The problem is that the lifetime FSD commands a big premium apples to apples. Especially with a HW4 car.

The 2022 Tesla Model S Plaid was sold for $65,000. I don't now what the auction commission is or who pays that. But strong money for a great looking S.

About right for a 2022 low mileage Plaid.
