I am considering downgrading to the 70D. I currently have 33K on my 15 month old S85. I paid about $99K for my S85 total. Minus the $7500 and $2500 tax rebate. Brings my total to $89K. Gas savings compared to driving my Jeep was about 9K. Total cost is now $80K. Car trade in value is $60K. I can get a new 70D for $80K with same options plus AWD. I would be able to get another $10K tax rebate. Net cost $70K plus tax. So for approximately $10K, I get the new car smell and reset the odometer to zero. I would also get the auto pilot hardware but hold off on the option until it is actually available and working. Makes no sense to finance options you can not use.
I do not think I will notice any performance difference other than having AWD for my snowboarding trips. The 30 mile range should not be an issue now that there are more superchargers. I haven't really used the superchargers too much because there are only a couple in florida. I wish I could get a refund for the $2500 I pre-paid for them. I only had a few close calls running below 30 electrons.
Anyways, please let me know if anyone has downgraded and if it makes sense.
Thanks!
