I am slowly working up to getting my first Tesla, researching and test driving over the last few months. After the first couple of test drives I was convinced that I wanted an MS 100D so my family of 4 (average size height / weight, 2 kids ages 13 and 10) had more room for longer road trips. However, as I have been hunting for the right MS I have gotten more and more anxious about big changes such as interior and exterior refresh to the MS coming sometime in the near future (next few years). The M3 is already updated with the latest design elements, hardware and batteries so it seems like a safer bet to keep for a few years whilst staying closer to the latest and greatest. I am a tech geek, so having the latest and greatest tech is really important to me.
So now I am considering saving a bunch of money and getting a really nice M3P instead of a 100D. I know the cargo space is a lot less in the M3, but for the few times a year we would go on a multi-hour road trip I can get a Thule cargo carrier which solves that problem. So my main worry now is size and comfort of the interior for us humans and that everyone will be comfortable on multi-hour road trips.
Would love to hear from anyone that has an M3 and a family (especially if you also own(ed) an MS) if the M3 isn't big enough to enjoy it comfortably.
