This question is in regards to an upcoming Model 3 purchase, but would likely require knowledge of a current Model S owner or just zealous Telsa fans.
I initially passed on putting in a reservation in for a Model 3 at reveal due to my assumption that my wife wouldn't even entertain the idea. Well when I brought it up the next day she said she was interested. Deposit put down within minutes - ~210K in queue.
Got an email from Tesla about possibly getting a Model S and setting up a test drive in Pittsburgh. Again, didn't think my wife would want to drive hours for a test drive. Wrong again. She wants to drive one to see if she wants the Model 3.
And finally my question, in order to convince/persuade her to option out the Model 3 and get Autopilot I'd like to have her test drive a Model S when it's outfitted with the newer Autopilot hardware refresh coming eventually. If we go to the showroom for a test drive say in early spring are the chances high that the Model S we test drive would have the new hardware? Do the test drive cars hang around for a long time or do they sell them fairly often?
Should I try to get her to test drive one before the winter weather comes just to get her in a Tesla, or should I wait until the more impressive Autopilot hardware is available?
