I'm curious and perhaps a bit jaded on this fact. I've always changed out my cars between 1-3 years of getting them, and I've had my Tesla for almost a year now and I have no itch of getting a new car. Obviously the only route I would go is Tesla if I did buy a new car, but I feel that my P85+ has all the features I would want for years to come.
Early on I told myself this car was like the 1st Gen iPhone that didn't have 3G, and in a year or two people would be itching to get a new model, but there are simply not enough hardware changes / improvements (maybe because they're not necessary) to justify a new Tesla purchase.
I see that after they made mine last year, they increased pricing, added sensors, power folding mirrors, and other minor (to me) things. I'm sure in time as battery tech increases the range will improve, but other than that, I don't see any new features from other cars or in the marketplace that we're missing.
Am I crazy or can this truly be a car that you can keep for 8-10 years without suffering any envy for new tech in newer cars? (battery degradation notwithstanding)
