What are some common problems with the Tesla Model S?
I’ve always wanted to own a Tesla, but up until I won a bit of cash at the casino, it was just a pipe dream. I’m in the market for a used Model S, but I don’t want to buy one if it’s going to cause a ton of issues. Does the Tesla Model S have any common problems?
