I was hoping to solicit some thoughts from the Tesla faithful on my next vehicle purchase...
I've been driving a MS 75 since 2016. It's only at 35k miles and paired up with the unlimited supercharging and MCU2 upgrade. (No cameras, just the computer), but struggling to fit the growing family. Both toddlers look squished in their car seats behind and I'm not helping (6'5) when pushing the driver's seat back for myself.

- Choice A: Swap it out for a Model Y. I gain about 100 miles in range, go a bit quicker and add some newer tech, but really think I'd only be gaining 4-5 inches of legroom in the back for the effort.
- Choice B: Swap it out for a Model X. Some more range, a lot more space (probably keeping up as the kids grow) and can tow up the trailer. Honestly feels a lot better for our needs, although at twice the price.
- Quality: I've had the MS in the shop more times than I can count, but their service always made up for it. Back in '16, the service center in Fremont tore apart the entire dash just to resolve a slight rattle in the cabin. (Turned out to be a brake light activation switch). Headlights, taillights, windows, MCU - all had service within days of an issue. Today, it's almost six weeks to remedy a single part.
- Pricing: Cars have jumped up in price over the past year. Worth waiting to see if things settle down? Or is the relentless demand just proof that the market will accept the higher price point anyways?
- Trade-In: Tesla is offering $45k on the MS 75 - up from $38k last year. Better elsewhere?
