Better wheels? I'm not sure I equate a trade for pure aesthetics (no function) for something that clearly adds safety, performance and probably resale value.Inigo, 70 is perfect for LA & your choices sound great, instead of spending on the "D' I would rather get better wheels & definitely get XPEL paint protection & tint the windows.
I'd be very careful in purchasing a CPO. These are routinely used as loaners, and the one I had last week had a drive unit drone and a right hand mirror that wouldn't move down in reverse.Unless the autopilot is a dealbreaker for you, I would also check the CPOs. There are a ton of 85's and P85s in the high 60s low 70s that have the older tech package, pano roof, leather, etc. There are a number of threads of other people thinking about the same thing. I agree the air and the D isn't worth it in coastal California if you are looking for value.
Is there any other compelling reason to get the AWD version over the RWD? A lot of people seem to prefer the RWD feeling anyway, and without weather concerns it seems like a good way to save $5000.
The rep in our local Tesla store yesterday indicated that in his recent experience, the real world range of the dual motor versions of the S were getting much closer to their publicised range than the RWD versions.
FWIW we actually have solar panels on the roof of our house, so even if we go over production we'd only be hitting Tier 1 for charging rates (will also talk to them about the off-peak plans). It sounds like that blunts a lot of the 70D TCO advantage over time?
Actually, whether grid power or solar, the TCO difference between 70 and 70D remains about the same, since the 70D leaves more solar production available to offset household consumption.
BTW, you may be able to increase the size of your solar array to offset the extra load consumed by the car. If you have enough extra roof space, You might need a bigger inverters that can combine two strings of panels or if you have micro inverters, the new string just connects up at the emergency disconnect switch box and you install a bigger input breaker.
FWIW, I can't find a single 70S in Denver to test drive. I may be waiting awhile.
(Interesting that acceleration numbers are the same. That seems highly unlikely real world. Published figures are of course not perfect and subject to some change.) OK - I just checked. The acceleration figures are not the same.
I agonized over the same options. I too live just outside of the LA area so I think we have similar considerations. In the end I went with the 70 and coils. Delivery first week of September.
