It has been very insightful to read all the comments, I have yet to place my order. So confused. Lots of you mentioned only charing to 80% why would I not charge to 100% every time?
I live in Orlando, FL mostly drive in the city, my furthest road trip is usually to drive to Atlanta, which is like a 7 hour drive about 475 miles. Or to Miami which is about a 200 mile ride. But that is not often. For the most part I like to rent when I travel out of state, mostly due to space and not putting tons of miles on my own cars.
A few of you mentioned potential resale value. I would have the full tax credit available now, does anyone know the battery size on LR? The unknown of what Tesla may due in the future drives me nuts! I do not know if maybe later they may make the 0-60 times faster or add more range even.
I just did not think I would have been spending close to 60k on a 35k car thats all. I saw a lot of you mention how weather makes a difference as well.
I have bought and sold about 6 MS P85 in the last one year (I own a used car business). I cannot say I have learned a lot about the car in terms of true range, charging times, speeds, etc and all the data detail everyone talks of, perhaps because I would just either supercharge and go. Or once installed at the office charge on a daily basis. So it did not matter to me I suppose. I am not one to keep cars more then a few years.
All the thoughts and details are appreciated. I would love some detailed feedback from those who can understand my situation.
