Hi everyone,
First day on this forum. I'm located in Toronto, Ontario, currently driving a 2017 Porsche Macan S, which I got over a year ago. Have been watching lots of videos/news/comments about Tesla and now seriously considering a switch. I'm battling between keeping my porsche and putting down reservation for model 3 then waiting for who knows how much time, or trading in the Macan and getting a used model s to start enjoying Tesla right away.
For the trade in, I notice that from autotrader.ca, any tesla model s that has autopilot would cost at least $79k, and that's only for the case for 2015 model, any newer model would be even more expensive. And the used Macan S is somewhere between $65k-$75k. So if I did the trade in, it would cost me some more dollars to spend on the monthly financing, but I could potentially save around $400 dollars on gas every month. Also, I'm wondering what is the retention price Macan S vs. Tesla model S? If I did the switch next year, would the gap between the two cars even bigger, i.e, Macan's value reduces faster than Tesla's? One last thing to consider is the maintenance cost, I just had my first service with Porsche last month, it cost me over $400 dollars for just oil change and tires re-balancing, and I know next time would be much more. I heard maintenance cost on Tesla would be close to none, even for the used ones, need someone to clarify on that.
Thanks in advance for any suggestion!
