Tesla Motors Club

Hello!

I'm about ready to pull the trigger and new Model 3. What's holding up my decision, is the choice between Full Self Driving vs Long Range.

I live in FL and those of you know, we drive and put on some miles. Once I buy, I'm going to drive the piss out of the car. I drive 125 round trip to and from work, with traffic and heat. Plus, I'm very active with the kids in baseball/softball. To give you an idea, I have a 2016 truck with 117,000 miles on it. Thats 34,000 miles annually and a lot gas money.

A few questions here.

Anyone else in a similar situation with mileage? What did you choose and why?
Can the 240 handle the drive with the mileage, traffic and heat?
I read the battery is only good for 1500 charges? Is this true?
Do I go 240 with self drive or go long range?

I'm concerned with the 240 mile battery. I know the car can recharge while driving, but how often will I have to charge?

If anyone has any comments please weigh in.

Thanks for your time!
