500BHP AND FREE FUEL FOREVER FOR £5K - WHY I BOUGHT THE UK'S CHEAPEST TESLA

EV Channels Review

Jonny Smith's acquisition of a 2016 Tesla Model S P90D for under £5,000 is a compelling narrative of finding value in the used EV market. Despite its high mileage (266,000 miles) and a few initial faults, including a critical pyro fuse warning and worn suspension components, the car proved to be a surprisingly solid purchase. The reviewer highlights the P90D's impressive performance, with 0-60 mph in 3 seconds and nearly 500 horsepower, a stark contrast to its bargain price. Key repairs focused on suspension arms, a headlight bulb, and the main fuse, all addressed economically by Cleevely EV. The battery health check revealed a respectable 76% state of health, indicating good longevity. Smith emphasizes that high-mileage EVs are not to be feared, especially when specialist support is available, and the continued benefit of free Supercharging for life adds significant long-term value.
