Hi all,
Excited to be planning to order my first Tesla in the coming days! I was hoping for the community's advice as we decide between a Model S or a Model Y-
All things considered I would rather go for the extra height and cargo capacity of the Y. But a primary use for the car would be making trips between Boston and NY, at ~215 miles each way. I'd prefer to avoid having to charge along the way if possible.
In real-world conditions of highway speeds, chilly weather, 2 or 3 years of battery capacity degradation, another passenger, etc. - will even the S require a mid-trip charge if we're keeping the battery in the ~10-90% charge range? If that's the case, I'm inclined to just opt for the Y (which I assume will definitely have to be charged along the way).
Thanks for your help!
