43,355 miles on the odometer, checked just moments ago. Currently runs great, but sings like a turbocharger and the speed sensor is quite dribbled. The OBC has issues. It has become intermittent and will charge after connecting and disconnecting the J1772 between 1 and 8 times. The 8 is the highest count we've monitored and it usually runs five to six times, but it does charge. Thanks to Vlad for his time in troubleshooting, narrowing it down from all the other possibilities. With the sale comes a replacement OBC from a Tesla.
No dings or scratches other than a minor chip here and there. When I collected the odometer reading, I was unable to locate any but I didn't spend much time in the hot sun either. New tires with fewer than a thousand miles, I believe. This vehicle has been driven about 60 miles a week since purchased in 2017 and has now been relegated to secondary status, at about 100 miles a month, to extend its life as much as possible. It also has a new 12v battery installed at the beginning of the year.
Driven only on surface streets, maximum speed no higher than 50 mph gives us warm weather range up to about 120 miles, but never driven to any level of alerts for range.
This vehicle can be made available immediately and might be traded into the dealer when we replace it with a contemporary EV-SUV. Of course, if I can get a better price here than at the dealer, that's what I'd prefer.
I let the salesman know the motor bearings are on the way out and forgot to mention the charger, which I'll bring up during the next visit, as we've not test driven the selected vehicle. He was not disturbed by the news.
Even if you don't care to purchase this wonderful, albeit troubled EV, I'm happy to answer questions.
Also, I'd like to compare projected value to our community with the projected value assigned by the dealer. Please make offers and estimations as you like.
Located in East Central Florida, never been driven on the beach, washed at Mister on a weekly basis.
