Do not own an s/x but given the option I would WAY rather own an S than a 3. I like...everything about it more. The look, the room, performance etc. Whether it's worth the price difference, well how hard that is to justify depends on your financial situation. For my current lifestyle none of tesla's vehicles make sense (until 2020), I need a truck and not considering selling stock to buy a second personal vehicle.
I have a reservation for a model 3, should probably reserve a second. Why?
Hoping for details or functioning tesla network before purchase, if the car can pay for itself in a year or two (dedicated taxi) it's a no brainer.
The immediate resale value could be greater than the purchase price with the immense backlog. Tesla network could drive the value of the car above what tesla sells them for.
If this stock helps me on my way a little to the point where I no longer need a truck for work, I would buy an S or roadster v2.
The 3 would not really be for my use.
(Also if I want to build a house in 2 years I'll have to put in a roof reservation soon
)
Just offering a different perspective. The 3 has tons of value. For some it may be an outstanding, safe, efficient vehicle that lasts for decades, for others it may be a passive income generator.
I don't really look at small cars and think much of them because they serve little to no practical value to me. Still have a soft spot for some supercars and an S fits the list for sure.
