I have been lurking these forums for a while and I think I've made the decision to bite the bullet and go with a MS. I crossed off the 3 and Y since we need the bigger back seat for 3 kids and my wife hates the Model X - doors mostly.
I was able to test drive both the Long Range and the Performance - in that order. My wife and I were both impressed when we drove the Long Range, but dear lord, when we took the Performance out is was unlike anything I've ever experienced. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since then.
I only drive about 10-15 miles on a work day and then probably 100 over the weekend. I can't help but think that most of that exhilirating power is going to be wasted on my mundance no-highway commute.
We take 2-3 trips a year of 150 miles in each direction so I don't think that range will be an issue with either option.
So there's a 20k gap in price with similar finishes. I don't think that I care enough about FSD in its current state and even if they add reverse summon... I'm not letting the car park itself just quite yet.
THEN there's the whole issue of whether this "refresh" is actually coming. I definitely won't be looking for a track car (plaid), but can't help thinking that there is some cosmetic change coming this year. I am in a lease up in May and it's starting to force my hand.
So how do I decide? Range/Performance? Is this the right year to be getting into a MS? I'm sure many of you have faced a similar situation. Any regrets going down either path? Please enlighten me, because I am overwhelmed with decision paralysis!
