Should You Buy A Used Tesla? | 5 Years Of Model S Maintenance Costs Plus My Current Experiment

It's hard to believe, but we've now owned our 2015 Tesla Model S 85D for 5 years! It's been a fantastic 5 years and I've loved driving our Model S around, both around town and on road trips. In this video I catch you up on what maintenance costs there have been in this last year and give additional details on battery degradation and how I'm currently charging it.
