Hi folks, looking for opinions on selecting between three cars w/FSD - buying all cash have money set aside for a car purchase (this would be a second car for my household):
- 2021 Model S 45K miles ~$63k all in with taxes + $3.1K for the extended limited warranty
- Vehicle report - link
- I know the $$ value is reported lower here but the options on this car + accessories coming with it make me okay with the extra few thousand
- Arachnid wheels (don't care for the looks to be honest)
- 1 owner, no accidents reported, clean title
- Manufactured in Dec 2021
- Driven about 20k miles per year
- The interior and exterior (PPFed) condition are basically immaculate I can tell that it was kept well and there's no squeaks or rattles in particular
- This high milage concerns me slightly this is the main opinion I'm looking for
- Am I missing something?
- Is it okay to buy a "high" milage refreshed Model S?
- I didn't check the battery degradation from the service menu
- 100% charge = ~370miles
- I feel like if it lasts mechanically I could definitely keep this car for 5-10years
- Expecting to drive ~8000miles/year
- Vehicle report - link
- 2022 Model S 35K miles ~$67k all in with taxes
- Vehicle report - link
- The condition of the car made me consider buying in the mid range
- Stock wheels (prefer these for milage)
- The interior and exterior (PPFed) condition are basically immaculate I can tell that it was kept well and there's no squeaks or rattles in particular
- 1 owner, no accidents reported, clean title
- Manufactured in ? 2022
- Am I missing something?
- Is it okay to buy a "high" milage refreshed Model S?
- Driven about 23k miles per year?
- 100% charge = ?

- 2024 Model 3 ~$61.5K all in with options and taxes
- I test drove the 2023 Model S & 2024 Model 3 back to back on local roads
- I feel like the suspension for the new model 3 is ~80% of the model s
- I feel like the noise suppression is also comparable I can't pin point it
- It just feels way too basic to spend this kind of money on this car
- I would feel good about it around $40-$45k
- I like the looks but the interior is really basic feeling even with the upgraded white
- I don't NEED the additional trunk space so the Model 3 would be fine
- I feel like I would buy this car and want to change it within 3-5years just because I may feel the grass is greener on the other side
- I test drove the 2023 Model S & 2024 Model 3 back to back on local roads
