So here's the thing — I know this is one of the most first world problems of all first world problems. I know the fact that I'm debating over this is a bit ridiculous, but please hear me out.
This will be my third Tesla in about as many years. Initially I got a RWD LR Model 3 and I absolutely loved it. It was one of the best cars I'd ever tried, and I was, as many of you can attest to, instantly hooked. It was incredibly fast, much faster than anything I've ever owned.
With that said, I got bit by the bug to go faster, and ended up upgrading to a stealth P3D. It was gut-wrenchingly fast, certainly faster than my LR RWD. I also got the seats in white instead of black.
Both cars have since been sold and I've been back to an ICE (Prius) for almost a year. I figured with COVID I wasn't going anywhere, so there was really no point of having the car. One thing I disliked about my 3s was how low they sat to the ground. It made me cringe every time I saw an older passenger get in my car. It was clearly uncomfortable to get in and out of.
Because I needed an easier car to get in and out of, and a more practical car for hauling stuff when needed, I've since decided to get a LR Model Y with the understanding that it will be nowhere near as fast as my P3D-. The reason I was able to justify the stealth P3D was that the price was only a couple of grand difference (at the time), but upgrading to the MYP is a huge gulf. I can comfortably afford a MYP, but I still like to be as reasonable as possible with finances, and it just seems like a huge price increase for minimal gain. I know it's all relative, but can anyone else relate to this?
My config is MSM/white interior with Inductions and Tow hitch. I'm worried that I might be dissatisfied with the performance of the MY LR, and that's why I'm considering cancelling the order for a MYP. However, this would require a lot more money, and perhaps a lot more time waiting for it to arrive. I prefer how the MYP looks with the calipers and wheels, but I'd have to immediately remove the wheels for snows, which would be more money up front.
Am I being unreasonable with my thought process? Despite the thread title, I'm not really asking for you to tell me what to do, I'm just trying to think this out in as reasonable manner as possible. Sometimes talking about it among others can be helpful.
