A job opportunity has popped up to work overseas for a year, with a potential following employment opportunity in Germany for the next 3 years following that. So in short, I could either be working abroad for 1 years and then coming back to the USA, or going onwards to Germany after that. So I'm now trying to figure out what to do with my Model S (in my sig).
I have friends in Germany that have confirmed it's quite easy living with a US Spec Tesla, but before I (hopefully) get there I'll be going to another European country that has zero Tesla presence (no service centers/mobile service), and that country's safety standards WOULD require me figure out a rear fog light retrofit.
I've been battling this decision back and forth. I've only owned the car for a short time (since October 2018) but have fallen deeply infatuated, and have considered a storage company who has assured me that the car can be plugged in 24/7 and 1x per month would be unplugged to roll the tires to prevent flatspotting.
Wife's stance: Currently a family of three, but maybe four soon, and my wife absolutely adores the Model X. It makes a ton of sense to just sell the car, pocket the money, then revisit this choice in a year at which time I'd have the money probably to buy a depreciated Model X w/ the AP2 & Free Supercharging OR maybe just skip that and get in line for a Model Y.
My stance: I love the looks of my current Model S and the somewhat unique basic spec config w/ the AP2, FSD enabled, and free supercharging. I like the looks of my S>X, but I love the utility value (people carrier/we have family visit often) of the X.
What would you do in my situation?
