I'm considering the purchase of a Tesla model S. I have my first test drive this afternoon. My current lease vehicle is BMW 535d. A car I thoroughly enjoy due to the comfort, torque and "efficiency" (a term I use loosely in light of the audience) of the diesel platform. I do have a few thoughts to pose:
1. I'm looking at the purchase of new vs. used Model 3. The CPO P85D would be the vehicle of choice in the used market. If I were to by new, I would only afford the 75D. I really don't want to spend more than $70K
2. I've considered the Model 3 as well. It seems the board is relatively excited about the model 3. I can honestly say, I've not spent a great deal of time investigating the differences in the models, however 5% of the time, I would need room for my wife and 3 kids, which is why I've only considered the S; 95% of the time the vehicle would simply be a commuter car. If I were to get the 3, I would opt for the P version.
3. From a family perspective, I would consider an X. It would be perfect. But, damn they are expensive!
Any thoughts or comments that I should consider?
