I know, long term is relative... two years max?
Anyways, I am looking for people in our harsh environment that have had the car for a whole winter or two. The two things I am worried about in the Model S are:
1) Non-framed windows. I absolutely hate that the car is designed this way. I get it for convertibles, but not hard topped cars. Even Subaru finally ditched this stupid design. Has anyone had issues with this in the cold/snow/ice? Any rattles yet?
2) Long term durability of air suspension. I plan on keeping a Model S for as long as possible and since owning an A8L, I am not convinced that air suspension is worth the hassle. I know I have to ride in both to feel ride quality, but I am sure that long term the system will have issues. I rarely fiddle with the settings on the A8, and doubt there is significant aerodynamic improvements lowering the car in real world driving. I don't care about looks either (the car will be covered in salt half the year)! Thoughts?
I can't wait to join the club, but I may keep saving my pennies for the next iteration...
