At ScrapEV, we recently purchased this 2016 Tesla Model S 85D with an intermittent charging fault. We buy Tesla vehicles with charging problems, battery faults, drive unit failures and other electrical issues from owners across the UK.
This particular vehicle was a 2016 Tesla Model S 85D (380kW / 500bhp) showing 81,000 miles.
It was sold to us as spares or repairs due to an intermittent charging issue. Despite the fault, the car was otherwise a well-presented example and included two keys, a V5 logbook, HPI clear status, an MOT until 20 January 2027 and free Tesla Supercharging for Life.
