S75D is an amazing car, best I’ve ever had. You’re going to love the car.
Air suspension wasn’t available as an add on when I got mine. A fried had it, it was pretty sweet. It remembered the location every time he raised the suspension so it automatically raised it the next time. Steep driveways, etc shouldn’t be a scrape risk.
I’d think about applying Xpel to the leading edges of the car and the hood. It isn’t very expensive and it will eliminate stone chips. I got my first stone chip driving 90 miles home from delivery, in the rain. The next week I had the Xpel applied, now over a year later and not a single additional stone chip.
The car isn’t perfect. Every now and again I get in and the car is “off”. It takes a minute to get it going. It gets software updates fairly often so things can be a little different after each update. I don’t mind that. The Tesla is a little more of an experience than other cars. Other cars, you get it and that’s about it, take it in for maintenance, and that’s the car you have until you get rid of it. The Tesla changes while you have it. There are new features that appear. If you get the “autopilot”, that’s fun. Usually it gets a little better with each software update, occasionally it backslides a little, but the following update often improves it. Ownership of a Tesla S is just more fun, for me anyway.
As far as complaints go, they’ve sold hundreds of thousands of the things worldwide. Anyone with a problem seems to post here, and that’s fine. I look for trends in complaints rather than worrying about each one. Trends now include slow repairs if you crash it. It is expensive to repair so insurance rates are higher usually. It seems they’ll total the car with less apparant damage than other types of cars. Otherwise the car is an absolute dream to drive and a joy to own.
