I will be starting a new job with a round trip commute about 140 miles 3x per week at least and anticipate driving 20k+ miles per year. I will be able to deduct vehicle purchase costs making the model X and 179 deduction quite attractive. I would also enjoy the size and comfort and alternative uses of the vehicle ie going up to the snow in the winter. However even with the deduction the Model 3 is cheaper especially as it can also be depreciated, just not as rapidly. It also wouldn’t stick out as much and is more efficient, nimble, easier to park etc.
Any thoughts on whether the Model X would hold up long term with 80-100k miles over just few years vs the 3 or S with so many more moving parts and less efficiency (but also free super charging). Is it worth the extra cost as a commute long distance car?
