I have a four year old P85D, which I still love. I would like its ultimate replacement to be another MS. However I am much less inclined to replace my current car unless what is offered is at least somewhat restyled, inside or out. Without that, I would feel I was paying a great deal of money to get nothing new. Yes, there have been many little improvements since I bought my car, but there are also what I consider to be downgrades from what I now own, ranging from no leather to no yacht floor to poorer headlights (than my HID) to no sunroof to no alcantara on the dash to - most important of all - 48 amp charging vs. 80 in my car. And since I have done all the charging for the car's 50k miles at home, this is a big deal, particularly since I sometimes charge between trips in the middle of the day. So with nearly four years left on the extended warranty I have no reason to purchase a new MS unless the current car degrades into an unfixable lemon, which it has not done yet. I am perfectly willing to wait the company out for multiple years. Yet with all this said, I would seriously consider plunking down $100k+ on a new performance MS if there was an interesting restyling of the car. Call this irrational psychology, but then most human psychology is irrational. But the point is that I don't think my psychology is unique, which is something that is well understood by all the other car companies that actually refresh and restyle their cars. Unfortunately, I don't think this is understood by the brilliant engineer who runs Tesla, which is a loss for me, since I don't get to buy a new car, and a little loss for him, because he doesn't get more revenue from me, or from all the other owners who feel the same way that I do.
