I have some time to think this through. I’ll need to see the stock at $1,200.00 before I can consider the S anyway.
I don’t think it’s a matter of if but when we’ll see that price so I’m hoping to be prepared when it happens.
Wasn’t sure where to post, so I’ll start here. Besides, this thread is what started me really thinking of the S again.
I tried "Launch Mode" for the first time today.
A bit of background. Over two years ago we were the proud owners of a Model S 75 RWD. It was our first induction to Tesla ownership and I was in love. Less than a year, my wife Karen was really in hopes to get a Model X. Well, we know how that goes. So, I’ve been eyeing the chance to get back into an S but this time do it in all its glory.
When the Model 3 came out I was like, “na, not my cup of tea, one screen, ect.” It’s hard to ignore all the great stuff you hear about the car along with previous owners of the S really enjoy the 3. I thought it was about time to see what this was all about. So, I’ve been looking at the Model Y’s for business venture and decided to take a test drive in the 3 to see how the UI felt along with how it car felt on the road (considering the Y will be on a similar platform). Uh, well, I enjoyed how it drove and how fun it felt on the road. No this was not the performance version but that’s not what the drive was meant to consider. I kind of liked it. So here we are. I can only obtain one, so I have to choose. At first glance, I’m all in on the model 3 performance & I understand that’s now down to 2.9sec 0-60? The fun driving, easy to see out of. Simplicity ect. Owning the Model X for over the year, you get use to big windshield compared to the Model S. Driving a loaner one day when they were changing out to HW3 I felt, well, it’s not as easy to see out of the front as I remember. I feel this is where the 3 really shines. It easy to see out of with the lower dash. So, this is what I need to figure out. I feel if I go for the 3, I will get a nice enjoyable fun to drive car that’s fast. If I go for the S, I may not have that sport feel but I would be all in on that ludicrous performance. I’ve read a few post where 3 owners mention how quick the performance is only to be followed by a mention of the model S performance. .. and yes, I can go back and forth on free supercharging and no side pockets and lack of arm rest storage, (which really does get to me). Not a big racer but I did take the S75 to NOLA Motorsport during a track day lite and had a blast. I would consider some local SCCA events with the 3. I know, 3rd world problems right?
