Parents haven't been using their 2017 Model S so we're trying to figure out what to do with it - options are either to keep it, or trade in for a 3 or Y later this year. I was heavily in the camp of keeping it and driving it until the wheels fell off, but I've been giving the Y some more thought recently as we'll need an SUV at some point.
Some detail on the car:
2017 Model S 75
55k miles, unlimited supercharging, enhanced autopilot
After using the trial on our 2023 Model 3, I really want to have FSD. The S is my primary car and my understanding right as of now is that an FSD upgrade would be $2k (as we already have EAP). Tesla is also recommending we spend $2k on the infotainment upgrade which I'm not looking forward to. My other concern is the battery itself - 1) the range - 220 miles at full charge, and 180 miles at 80% - I have a short commute so its okay but not great. 2) its just been driven 55k miles but we purchased it at the end of 2017 and so I've got ~1.5 years of warranty remaining.
So I guess the first question is, do I really need to spend on the infotainment upgrade to be able to use FSD? From there its just a matter of whether I should spend the $4k or trade in/sell for $20k (Tesla offer of $20k, Carvana offered $19.5k) and put some more money toward a used Y
