I have a 2017 Model S 90D model that I bought brand new in early 2017. I got the free upgraded self driving computer and also upgraded the center screen/computer. I also have black TSport 19" wheels and full glass tint. So far it's a great car (I bought it new) and don't have any issues with it. I have about $30k left in payments.
My 90% battery is typically about 251-ish miles, down from the initial 274-ish when I first got it.
However, I do like the Model Y because it sits a bit higher, has more headroom (especially in the back) and it's a bit smaller in terms of overall outer dimensions; I don't really have a need for a large car. The long range Y I spec'd out is about $60k with full self driving (I like it in my S and am fully aware of faults and future benefits and am VERY well versed in self-driving car technology).
I know what the physical and interior differences are between the S and the Y. I have friends who have and S or a Y and they love them.

Questions:
- How's the ride in a Y? Noisy? Stiff?
- 19" or 20" wheels? I'd go aftermarket on the wheels regardless of what I get from Tesla. High speed handling doesn't matter to me. High performance doesn't matter. I'm am neither fast nor furious. I need all season tires that will last and a profile that is not prone to curb rash...not from me...family members driving I like the look of 20's but am wondering what the profile is like.
- What's the average 90% battery range on the long range version?
- Any reason not to get a Y that's not purely subjective?
- Am I nuts for selling an S and getting a Y?
- Any new stuff for the Y planned this year that's worth waiting on?
