That was part of my rationale for the 85. This past winter, I would use up 60% or more of my pack in a 100 mile day due to the cold and no place to plug in during the day. That's still within the range of a 60, but another concern of mine was degradation of range over time. I wanted to be able to do my driving for a number of years with no concerns over range or whether or not I could drive "normally', use my HVAC and so forth.

I've had mine 2 weeks to the day but one day it was in for Opti-coat. 1,400 miles so far so averaging 107 per day or ~39K/year. Low mileage so far but others are already at 75K and climbing plus there are limo/taxi services etc.
I like this thread!
I just got my S60 over the weekend. I do about 300 miles per day. I got dual chargers. Waiting for my HPWC to be installed. Supercharger about 15 miles out of my normal route and I can charge at a J1772 while at work,not sure what amperage yet. 19in wheels. I would gotten the S85 for warranty and buffer,wife was mainly concerned but it just wasn't in the budget. regen is very aggressive. If it saves brakes like my Prius did then we're set. I only changed them 3 times over 261k miles

I know gas comes from a "different" budget than car-payment, but @ 300 miles per day, you were likely spending close to $1000 per month on gas. Doesn't that make the Model S basically free? If I drove that much, I would have hit the "load my Tesla" button and called it a day. I only drive 5k miles per year so I ordered a 60.
Even with 261k miles my Prius was getting 42mpg. I was spending about 550 a month.only traveling 5 days per week. The Model S is obviously a much better ride. The 85 for me Would have been for warranty only really. With as much as I or we drive I think resale value drops a lot and once the Model E comes out our cars target buyers have competition
It is quite a bit extra but maybe you could have saved by not getting hpwc and dual chargers

9 months (including 99% of the winter)...20,500 miles in the Roadster. What a blast!

My wife's doing about 60 miles a day in her Roadster... I get to drive it every now and then.
My S85 does a day trip of 124 miles, 3x per week. It's an awesome car for these kind of distances. I charge to 80% daily, rarely more. 20k miles so far. The OEM tires appear to be good for 30k+ miles, I have the 19" wheels. The 21s wear faster, cost more, and are more prone to pothole damage and curb rash. With regen braking doing most of the work, the original friction brakes should outlast the car.
On the TM forum an MS owner reported 75k miles so far, with only 7% range loss.

Are you leasing the car or financing it? How many miles allowed per year on the lease?
The Active E was only available as a lease. We bought the Model S (just over 15,000 miles) and Roadster (just over 10,500 miles (about 8,300 of it ours)).
