My 2013 Model S was totaled in an accident recently. I'm interested in buying used this time around. I am down to two choices and would greatly appreciate any feed back from experienced Model S owners with knowledge of these configurations.
Choice One: 2016 P90 with Insane plus, some interior premiums, upgraded rims, premium audio, Autopilot 1.0. Low milles (under 25K). This must have been a late 2016 as it has the new nose front. No accidents.
Choice Two: 2018 S 100D panorama roof, no premium audio, Enhanced Autopilot. Low miles (under 25K). This car had one accident, rear end, no airbag deployed. Repair looks to have been done properly.
The price for these two cars is virtually the same, with similar miles. I was leaning toward the 2018, but one Tesla service guy told me he would probably do the P90. It might be he just appreciates the speed? He also thought a new loaded Model 3 Performance was better than either of Model S choices for the money.
I don't use the car for long distances much, but I am in LA (often bumper to bumper) and wonder if I will appreciate the enhanced autopilot, especially as future self-driving and other functionality may be accessible. I admit the insane mode, although an extravagance, seems like a fun feature to have, even if it's not ludicrous. Although I will probably keep the car for a long time, the resale on a 2018 is much better, and I think the price on this car is far less than I have seen on other 2018 100D's. Finally, I like the exterior color of the P90 a bit better, although the interior is a lighter color which I worry will get dirty.
I know this is all very subjective but I'd love to hear any input anyway. Thanks
