Thanks 😎

Thank you, new MCU was installed for $1500 now it's like a brand new car :) Agree green was one of the best colors.

Great to hear, since you got the refreshed front fascia your car will look like a brand new model S for many years to come. New Plaid model looks identical on the outside. The best aging cars in my view! Enjoy your Tesla and remember if you guys ever visit NY holler! :)

Electrified_ Motors thank you! I do enjoy it it’s like driving a Ferrari! (Never drove one!😅)

@@dangr3957 I drove a Lambo and I prefer to have 5 seats and 2 trunks! :)

Electrified_ Motors I wouldn’t drive again any other brand just Tesla!😎 Best car ever!😊

Yes please make sure that mcu was upgraded. Also ask how often was the car supercharged and the battery health. There are apps that can provide it. Also Tesla can determine based on the cell health. Mine has 75% battery health now. Meaning 25% is gone forever.

Thank you, appreciate your feedback. I'm still learning to make better videos.

It was leaking Allright, allover the dashboard it was sticky like glue. After replacement Tesla had to clean alm that glue out and afterwards I had to clean it even more. It was functioning Ok.

@@electrifiedmotors Sounds like the laminated layer for sure. It’s glued on top of high quality screens to help with glare/visibility and to protect.

@@chadkelley I found this many people had this problem. forums.tesla.com/discussion/55222/gel-leaking-from-touchscreen?__cf_chl_jschl_tk__=pmd_0pCzhBMU2.T4Fdw0N7.2RdqqlS7ubVl7GECw1N3Rz.o-1631493363-0-gqNtZGzNAlCjcnBszQn9

@@chadkelley I found the answer on the Tesla Forum it is a adhesive holding touchscreen panel to the LCD. It leaks after 5 years and gets separated. Until it fails completely.

@@electrifiedmotors ah yes! Forgot about the touchscreen aspect. Hopefully they’ve improved their screen manufacturing since then. 🙏

That is a great advise, I'm not sure if I will be able to do this because I park in a public garage. No power outlets in the area either just a Chargepoint charged. I really appreciate you sharing this with me. And yes this 12v battery is burried deep in the original version of the S. 🤯

Agree if you plan well and have a charger at home most people don't need more then 180 with some buffer not to degrade the battery charging 10-90%

It really is, with MCU upgrades available for $1500 and new battery upgrade coming soon this is a gem. You can get one one for under 19K.

@@electrifiedmotors do you have an estimate $ for the battery upgrade? Nice car BTW!

@@misaelortega653 I got one estimate for 12K to upgrade to used 85 kwh with low miles. However Tesla might offer upgrades soon 1-2 years for 10k flat.

@@misaelortega653 Hi Misael, I did get a quote from a old Tesla Veteran Jason Hughes a cost of about 14K to upgrade 60 to 85. At that point upgrade didn't make sense, that price included trading in the old battery for reuse. Jason is probably the best known Tesla Hacker. Great guy! In addition I believe once these old Tesla batteries start dying Tesla will offer 10K battery pack upgrades. That is what Elon promised at some point and time.

@@electrifiedmotors where can u get one for 19k??

Drive train issue happened to the previous owner. It just crapped out on him, side of the road tow truck situation. It was a known issue with the first drive units. They replaced it under the warranty for him. I was lucky enough to get it with the car. MCU upgrade was $1500.00 and it comes with 2 brand new screens. Netlfix, KZfaq etc.. on a 2013 Model S LOL

I had no idea, where can you buy those seats? :)

@@electrifiedmotors At tesla depending on the dealership you can go and ask a service center to get a next generation seats upgrade and they can hook you up with awesome seats ink installation and conection to your car so it works like it was always like that. It's great makes it a new car like the MCU2 upgrade. If you know a private service place you can make the upgrade for 3000 dollars or less if you buy the seats yourself on ebay motors but test through tesla first it worked for me and im super happy. Have heard some other people had truble with it and went private so it's really all about how kind your tesla service center is. If you go private you won't get new seats, you will have to buy used once so they have some wear on them.

@@mrcharles3061 Thanks for the info will Def look into it. Original seats suck big time

@@electrifiedmotors yeah I know so glad I upgraded

It did but it only affects driving at low speeds when you dont have your foot on the accelerator. It stops the car, like when it's rolling slowly. When you drive in these older models it doesn't make any difference apparently.

Winter makes it worse, range drops to about 145 miles while driving with the heat on. Also like any other Tesla when parked outdoors you can expect to loose up to 10 miles per day. With a smaller battery that takes even more planning given you want to keep your battery between 20-90%. This is the reason this battery after 140k miles and almost 10 years only lost about 18% of total original range. Home charger is a must.

@@electrifiedmotors what about proformence wise?

@@atomicpineapple8588 No change. Real quick, amazing traction. 0-60 about 5s fast enough, for the price ;) Just got the MCU upgraded for 1k new screen new computer car feels like new. Only seats suck you need a custom cushion set. EBay $100.

@@electrifiedmotors My 2014 is pretty bad in snow, with rear wheel drive. If I had to do it again I'd definitely spend a bit more money for the 4-wheel drive version.

@@dannyrusso8279 Real slippery snow, dual motor for sure. However regular conditions my RWD S was is doing great in the snow. Once I needed to put on snow zipties with hooks. to go up the driveway upstate. Steep and cover with snow. Check out my insta pictures. Electrified_motors.

Learning along the way. I will record a new one much better one. 10 year review 😎

Not anymore 2012-2013 were in 22k-28k range. Due to used car shortage and new redisign with that stupid yolk wheel. Prices went up to high 20's with high millage and low 30's to mid with Ok millage.

@@electrifiedmotors makes sense! I was in the market for a car early 2020 when Covid happened. Saw a Tesla for like $25k but thought it was too good to be true. Ended up getting a 15 Lexus GS 350 for $23k

@@hect0r2791 not bad Lexus is a good car. I sold my 2013 S for 25k to a friend. Still runs great with over 150k..

I'm waiting for the official battery replacement program from Tesla. Car's battery health is at 75% so far so good. Supercharging and all. Car has safety systems and computers that check cells at all times. If anything is making people replace batteries too early. 155k miles going strong. 😎👍🏼

@@electrifiedmotors having to spend $20k on a battery pack is no good. And for that reason I'm out.

@@USNEM totally! 100% agree they should have battery upgrades options for those who supported the comapny from early on. And those who actually take care of the things they own. Car is in perfect shape. I'm actually very impressed how well it aged, New mcu tho. Old one was leaking glue residue. @Electrifiedgarage offers battery rebuilds other shops do as well. @grubermotors

@@electrifiedmotors Elon said years ago that we would be able to change just a module for like $4-5k instead of a whole battery pack .......but, that was just another of Elons lies.

@@USNEM no he never lies fsd in 2 weeks 🤣
