Dear Tesla HiveMind who are smarter and wiser than me, I need guidance
So in Dec of 2018, I was t-boned by a distracted driver and my non-MX car was totaled - I had promised myself that that was the last ICE car I was going to buy and so decided to jump into a Used MX - prob should have researched it a bit better but in the end, found myself in a 2016 MX P90D, 6 seater with 16K on the odometer, MCU1 AP1 for a bit shy of 80K (don't judge me)
Though my purchase experience was iffy - but in the end, Tesla fixed all the issues (incl the shudder), I got it wrapped with the hope that I would drive it for atleast 3-4 years or until the warranty ran out.
BUT over the last 15 months, I have really been frustrated at a few things like the range - driving like a normal person in winter, my range is actually about 150 miles, prob 180-190 in summer and the terrible ride/shocks.
And frankly, the build quality pales in comparison to my previous car so I don't think I will be in it long term,
Now I owe about 50K on the car currently; I reckon I will be through the warranty in about 2.5 years more - owing about 20K at the time; and I think the car would be worth about the same by then (it will be a 6 yr old car by then )
So i'm contemplating selling this car now - either break even/small profit - and turning around and leasing a new LR+ instead for the same monthly payment. But I get a newer car with better range and ride (and newer bells and whistles)
Am I being stupid or missing something?
