HERE'S WHY I AM SELLING MY 2018 TESLA MODEL S 100D AFTER OWNING IT FOR ONLY TWO MONTHS!

EV Channels Review

The reviewer is selling his 2018 Tesla Model S 100D after only two months due to disappointing charging speeds, which he found to be significantly slower than expected, even on V3 Superchargers (maxing out at 161 kW). He acknowledges this was a mistake on his part for not realizing the limitations of the older model. He is actively seeking a 2021 refresh Model S, prioritizing faster charging, increased range (aiming for 405 miles), and improved interior ergonomics like the horizontal screen for better knee room. While he appreciates the Model S 100D's navigation and Supercharger network, the charging performance was not sufficient for his increased road-tripping plans. He is evaluating trade-in offers, with Carmax offering an effective $56,000 after tax savings, which is competitive with other online buyers like Vroom and KBB. He is excited about the prospect of a newer Model S, particularly the white-on-white configuration and the potential for FSD Beta, but remains open to selling his current car privately if a substantially better offer arises.
