Took delivery of a Model X CPO today from Tesla

We thought that with the pandemic, we'd just stick to our Model 3 until the Cybertruck comes when we sold our last ICE in the summer (it got a whopping 300km of driving from March to June)

However, we miscalculated as ever since the restart of kids' school, we have run into several occasions that we came in really tight (arriving barely in time to pick up the kids, or had to change our schedule altogether to make it work) or had to rent a car for a day. With another year or two until our Cybertruck, it just wasn't working too well.

We also vowed that we'd stick with EV (except for exotic toy car... if ever) ever since we took delivery of our Model 3 as our lil personal effort for the environment... however little that is.

Then a very good deal popped up on the Tesla site on a clean (no accident) 75D and we took it. A tad high on the mileage (just past 90k), but nothing to pick really. And the price (low 60s) was lower than anything I could find online for similar car.

When we finally saw the car today, we were pleasantly surprised that it got a brand new set of tires as the previous owner (it was a lease according to Carfax/Tesla record) returned it with winters. (it was noted in the inspection sheet).

The battery looked good too with barely 6% of degradation at full charge. Not sure if it had anything to do with the fact that it might have been originally a 60D (soft-locked 75D), even though the only clue to that fact was the little bag they used to hold the keyfobs said 60D on the model.

Overall, quite happy with the purchase and kids were super psyched about finally having THE falcon wing door. When they first saw our model 3, which we just told them we were getting a Tesla, they kept asking where were the falcon wings doors.
