My 2-cents (worth less in this super inflation economy). Save the $$$ for the next updated Tesla - 4.2 sec (M3LR) and 4.8 sec (MYLR) is still blazing fast compared to everything else - ICE or EV wise.

When I ran the numbers less than 2 years ago it was a 20-22 year break even for me in South FL for what I needed.
Yes. The big cost was 4 power walls. I will also say this was not factoring any electric cars at the time but now waiting for model Y delivery. That would further reduce the break even time. There is some issues with insurance in FL with solar right now and that is potentially increasing yearly costs by a couple thousand for homeowners.
I have a whole home Generac generator that runs off natural gas utility now. I could go with a smaller PWRcell battery and solar that can be supplemented by the generator at night. The challenge is enough power to cool the large house with multiple AC units during the summer in outage scenarios.
yeah i was not running any power walls or anything.. just trying to offset my use some

Not! I'd be drag racing those too - just for fun!
On your 23 MYP - notice a big difference with the new "comfort" suspension? How are the 21" Uberturbines in RI?

HA! Not sure the wife would enjoy drag racing, but hey, YOLO as the kids say? LOL!
Ive owned 2 Model 3's, a 21 MYP, and a 21 MSLR Refresh. As stated, wife has a 21 MYLR. The comfort suspension is night and day in comparison is the older 3's and the Y we own, as well as the prior 21 MYP I had. I got rid of the 21s and through on some 20s with AS tires. Its an amazing ride. I have no regrets.
When looking to add a 2nd Tesla to our stable we thought we would go for a M3 instead of another MY. When we went for demo drive I had a hard time getting into the M3. Once I was in it I couldn‘t grab the door to close it without hitting my head on the car roof. I’m 6’ 1’ 250 lbs and 76 years old. So we got another MY.
The wife was looking forward to get a M3RWD for the reduced cost but now that she owns the MY she is very happy with it. We routinely travel the 250 mile round trip between our house and cabin 3-4 times a month. The MY with all the cargo and interior space is perfect for us. Yesterday with wife and me in the front seats we also had 3 dogs in the back seat. In the rear hatch area we had our parrot in his travel cage, a cooler and misc items. We also had the fronk and the below floor storage areas full. with a M3 we would have run out of space.
Just picked up our #2 - MYP with tow.
SOOO much bigger than the M3P wife already has. I didn't really realize it.
I have to admit tho - I like the M3P "compact'iveness" and feel it looks better inside lacking the exposed seat rails.

It's highly subjective. My wife got a MYLR7 for utility. I'm getting a M3P (next week!) for fun.
We don't need 2 utility vehicles and I want a track car. Everyone is different, but I consider the MYP to be a compromise between a M3P and a MYLR. However, if I needed 2 cars to have that much room (love our MY), I'd see it differently.

The ideal garage if you have/need two vehicles. Track days will be much more fun in a M3P than a MYP hands down.
Need the space as the wife likes to adventure a bit so we are usually over prepared given we have a 15 month old and a dog but otherwise I'd be getting a M3P
aaaaand - just realized EAP isn't a subscription item like FSD is if you have paid EAP - that sucks

We have two Model Ys; a blue 22 MYLR and a red ‘23 MYP. I put 18” wheels on the MYP, and it’s just about perfect for me. I put the Redwood GT suspension on the LR, and it’s really good now too. Just like someone else mentioned, we’re older and love how easy they are to get in and out of, and appreciate the extra cargo space. Our house is also solar powered, so they don’t really cost us anything to drive. I used to own a ‘22 MSLR, but liked the size of the Y better. And selling the S during the “crazy times” for a nice profit didn’t hurt either.
i couldn't find that option.
Under 'upgrades/subscribe' i only have FSD for $ 199.00/month and premium connectivity.

Previously FSD was at $199/month ($99 if you had EAP already) and EAP was $99/month. When they brought EAP back, I assumed that they also brought back the subscription option but maybe not.
