83k miles, Dec. 2014 build, perf plus suspension, seemingly strong battery pack (I got 148kW at the super charging station last week).
My situation is somewhat unique. I love my current p85d but the warranty expired last week. It’s been a pretty darn reliable car since I bot used 4 years ago and the battery seems strong. But will it continue to be reliable, for the next 4 to 5yrs?
I put a deposit on a brand new 2023 demo performance model 3 that I could have picked up yesterday (total off msrp was 10k, price was $55,450), but I backed out because my longer term goal is to save money to buy a house. I make enough money now that I won’t qualify for the $7500 off next year. I just felt that given my situation, I shouldn’t be buying a new car and saddling myself with $1000 car payments for 5 years. On the other hand!…, if the p85d starts to break down, it won’t take much before buying the new car makes better sense financially! Like if the battery goes for example, or the drivetrain and a couple other things.
At this point I think I still have time to take it off “final hold” and buy the new car, and sell the old
Thoughts? Thank you
