I also did not get the tech package. None of my cars have ever had those features, so I don't feel I'm missing out. I got twin chargers instead.

I would like to hear what other say on Pano, as I would imagine for resale, most want that.
I'm glad I went the standard route -- raising and lowering the car multiple times per day would have gotten very old very fast.
Active Air due to steep driveway. Not practical If i have to manually activate lift each time i pull into driveway. Thoughts?
I got it for the improved efficiency due to better highway aerodynamics, not for driveways.
98% of the time, efficiency is unimportant. You pay $0.042 in electricity per mile rather than $0.04. big whoop.
On the 2% of the days when you're taking a road trip, you need to wait at the supercharger for 42 minutes instead of 40 minutes.
yeah, I know a lot of people on this forum are into efficiency because they hated burning gasoline, but I don't really get why it's a big deal in this car.
If you're doing that, I'd consider using an ICE, regardless of whether you're getting 200 miles per charge or 190 miles per charge. The difference between charging for 4 hours and charging for 4.2 hours isn't all that significant to me: either way it's bad.If you're going somewhere where there is no supercharger service - which is almost everywhere outside of California - it matters.

You're in California which is covered with Superchargers and has mild weather. This will probably work for you as long as you stay in California. A lot of us got 85s because in "no supercharger" areas, particularly ones with cold weather, we need the range to make any reasonable road trip.Not wanting to spend 100k I'm playing with the design studio to build a Low budget S. I have not pulled th trigger, just playing for now.
My budget friendly config is:
60kwh
Matter of taste. I saved money by getting white!Grey exterior
Almost everyone seems to agree that this is worth it, if only for the seat memory. If only one person will drive the car, you don't mind lifting the liftgate manually, and you don't care about the nav system, you might be able to skip this. I do believe the tech package will be important for resale value, though.Tech package
Matters of taste.Pano Roof - splurged on this, love the view
Parking sensors
Yes.Super Charger enabled
Matter of taste.19 cyclone wheels, splurged on this, love the look
Active air if you drive on grass lots, dirt roads, etc.What options might I regret not getting?

You are correct about the dirt. The white is, in fact, dirty *all* the time, inc. Including one mile after driving away from the car wash. I love it anyway. :wink: It stays cool in the summer.Paint - It's personsal up to you, I would suggest a Metalic color at least (unless you want Black) Never white, get dirty way to easy. [Note, my view only, don't flame me if you like/love the white]
