We're a two car family, so we have an ICE backup. Were I single, it'd be my only car.

Nope. We'll have an SLK roadster for our second car. Unless we have to haul crap, it'll work for long distance touristing. If we have to haul crap and it's too far for the S, then we'll swap cars with a friend for that trip.
I'm hoping to be able to replace the SLK with the Tesla Roadster 3.0.

Nope. I'm keeping the Suburban to tow the Airstream and for ski weekends (it's hard on the paint and the snow can get deep enough that 4wd is a must).

ICE backup - wife's Mini Cooper Clubman S; she says she'd not be able to drive the Model S anyway - too big for her...

MODEL X #1770
We're keeping the 2008 Honda Odyssey for my wife. It does horrible on the fuel economy, but hauls 4 kids, two adults, and a costco trip with ease.
Now the Model X.... Hmmm....

My Model S will be my new daily driver. First time we've ever had more than 2 cars.
Keeping my '08 Odyssey for long-haul trips, Home Depot runs, etc. It will most likely be the car my (now 14-year-old) son eventually learns to drive.
Keeping the wife's '00 Lexus RX-300 until she finally figures out what she wants to replace it with. Given she's spent the past couple of years working on the IEEE P2030 smart grid standard, I'd like to see her choose an EV, but she's looking at Mercedes coupes right now.

My wife's car is a Toyota Corolla which we'll keep...but she has a work car so we won't drive it much...only to keep it from getting rusty and if the occasional road trip is too inconvenient for the Model S (which I expect to be very rare).
Holy crap, that's an expensive backup! The Model S will cost more than my wife and I have spent combined on all cars in our 25 year driving histories.
Sorry, I accidentally posted two threads. Mods please tack this one onto the other one:
Will Model S be your only car?
Will Model S be your only car?
To reply to my own thread:
We currently have a Roadster and a Prius.
I would get rid of the Prius except that we need a 2nd car that can carry 4 people on very rare occasions, I plan to do all family and long distance driving with the Model S, and the Prius may only be driven a few times per year.

Model X 2019
I have a '04 Chevy Classic I'll keep as a second car. I'll only use it when my wife and I both want to use a car at the same time, when I have to do "dirty" hauling, or on longer round trips that only last a week or two. I don't want to leave the Model S "home alone" for longer periods of time. For road trips where we'll be away for a month or more, we'll use the Model S.
