Ended up getting a 3 Ton Amana 16 SEER 2 stage AC. I looked at a variable speed but our HVAC guy said since our 2y old furnace did not have a variable speed fan we would not see the full benefit. And as mentioned the variable speed one cost twice that of the 16 SEER one. The LRA on this one is 84 so is under the limit of Tesla's FAQ.

Make sure to check your crankcase heater so you don't waste money before you turn on your AC :)
