    For Same Price: CPO Model S or New Model 3?

    My feeling is at a starting price of $35,000 by time you add a few options you will most likely be looking at $45,500 if you were to option it the same as the S70D. The 70D starts at $75,000 and I wound up with $10,500 in options so I am now up to $85,500. I have been tempted to keep my Hybrid...
