We were early adopters and received our MS in February 2013 (after ordering in June 2012). So we are at the 7.5 year mark in our ownership (Vin 43XX.) We bought just about everything available on the car when we bought it, which means we have the backward facing seats for our grandkids, the 85 battery and free supercharging for life. We have about 60K miles on the car and it gets about 245 miles on a full charge, 220 on a regular charge. It's the old dolphin grey and still looks pretty nice on the outside. We thought (now in our mid 70's) that is would be our last car. However, with all the new features, like FSD, we are thinking about getting a new MS or maybe Y or 3.
Here is the question. Is it better to trade or sell our MS? Does the third seat add much value to the trade in or resale value and if we sell it privately, does the new owner get free Supercharging for the life of the car. The battery warranty ends in 6 months, but we haven't had any problems. Any sense of what we might expect to sell or trade it for? We even have a charity that we support that will take it as a donation. But, I would like to have the next owner to be able to have free supercharging if they can use it. BTW, we are in the SF Bay Area, about 35 miles from Fremont.
Thanks.
