FOMO - So easy to get caught up in missing out on some new feature with Tesla. On the 3/Y platform the pace is far more rapid than the S it seems. I almost got sucked into that with our Y. It kept seeming like the structural battery pack was right around the corner. I am so glad I didn't wait. I got a lot of enjoyment out of the car in the interim.
At the same time, I can see if you plan on holding the car for a long time, you want to get the best feature set you can. It is just so hard to gauge what is really around the corner with Tesla and what is a lot farther out than you might think. This crazy/chaotic ordering system just adds to the mess.
I really want the new headlights. This is the one thing still in the back of my mind if the S is actually delivered in the new few weeks as the chaos monkey predicts. This would be a nice upgrade that I'd appreciate. As usual you never know if this will pan out. At this point I don't want to wait any longer. Where it does impact me is I would seriously consider about upgrading the car later on if they do come out in the next 6-9 months. I had planned to go full PPF but I'd hate to invest if if I will upgrade in the next year or so. Given the past cost of lights, assuming you could even do it, I could likely sell mine and buy back in for less.
While I really think Teslas need it, you don't get really anything when you go to sell the car. Full PPF is 6k+ here, even a frontal is going to be 2k, so still sort of torn what to do. Maybe I'll be the unicorn and get the new lights but I highly doubt that. Any thoughts?
