2014 Tesla Model S 85 NON-DRIVING, Battery pack needed, $11,000 - Ebay [View all]

Green?

Cost new in 2014: $83,900

Now: $11,000 + New battery ($15,000 - $22,000)



Vehicle Details
Perfect for someone who has a love for Tesla and willing to put in the time to get it back to being one of the best vehicles on the streets. Brakes need to be replaced soon. Battery pack recently went on it so its currently inoperable.

How long till a new Drive Unit is needed ($10,000+) or a new MCU?

In 2024, around 2/3rds of the electric cars in the US actually are fueled by natural gas or coal.
