SOLD TO A YOUTUBER: OUR 2014 TESLA MODEL S BECOMES A TEENAGER'S FIRST CAR!

EV Channels Review

This video documents the sale of the TFL Studios' 2014 Tesla Model S to a young YouTuber, Josh, who intends it to be his son's first car. The reviewer highlights the Model S's enduring design and practical features, such as its large cargo capacity and hatchback functionality, making it suitable for a student needing to transport items like mini-fridges. A significant draw for this older model is its grandfathered free Supercharging and premium connectivity, a feature no longer available on newer Teslas. The car is identified as an 85 kWh rear-wheel-drive variant, lacking all-wheel drive and air suspension, which the reviewer sees as simplifying maintenance. While acknowledging potential interior material wear and the older MCU1 system (which Tesla offers an upgrade for), the overall condition is deemed good for its age, with the battery health reported at a strong 92%. The reviewer emphasizes the value proposition for a first car, offering low operating costs and a premium experience.
