Bought a used Tesla, still hasn't got it after....
Jan 22^nd, 2019 at 2:47pm

More than two months!

The following are a series of videos by a used Tesla buyer, who purchased his vehicle in early November 2018. Ironically, he decided to purchase the vehicle to see if the claims from other irate used Tesla buyers were exaggerated.

Even if you're a fan of Tesla, you have to admit that the way Tesla has set up its used vehicle buying system in the USA requires an overhaul.

I'd also be concerned how Tesla communicates information in other parts of the company.

A person would need help from above if they decided to buy a USED Tesla!!!!

A deteriorating battery that costs about $15,000 to replace.

But the far more sinister risk is how long before the suspension collapses and a wheel falls off ? A very common occurrence with Teslas.

And if it is OUT OF WARRANTY then a massive bank loan to pay for the very expensive repairs.

Karnal, what sort of battery does it use ?

In some of the cities there are Lime battery bikes littering the streets. You have to use an Iphone to access and pay to use which unlocks the bike.

Electric bike share from LimeBike. Say hello to Lime-E, the next step in smart mobility. With Lime-E, the new electric-assist bike from LimeBike, your trip across town just got easier. Lime-E's lithium Ion battery helps you ride up to 14.8 mph without breaking a sweat, even uphill!

Unlike previous Australian bike shares, Lime’s bikes are electric, which makes riding them easier and quicker. The company claims they can reach speeds of 24km/h, even with hilly terrain.

Each bike uses a lithium Ion battery that will be recharged every two days. Lime has hired a team of 50 people to monitor the bikes and recharge them.
