What to check when buying
- Before buying, try out a specific steering wheel or steering wheel, direction indicators, choice of direction and rear screen. Clarify the established functions on the car itself: the manual covers several trim levels and years.
- Check battery warnings and availability of the Battery Health Test. Tesla warns that the test is not on every car, recommends it for suspected deterioration of energy retention and indicates the duration of up to 24 hours when connecting to the AC. This is a separate agreed check, not a quick point of a normal test drive.
- Measure the parking space with open mirrors and stock for the trunk lid. Tesla points out that the open lid, depending on the configuration, can reach about 2.3 m; the height of its opening can be limited.
