The title says it all. I am going to reserve in November, so I won't get the car until this time next year at best. I am okay with that.
What plagues me is what range I will get. I am wondering if anyone else is trying to decide or if there are people who have decided between these two options. I would like to know what your pros and cons list were and what lead to your decision.
Mainly I am having a hard time reconciling 160 miles, which I am feeling like after degradation trough the years and minus the marketing it will end up being 130 miles. I don't drive more then 20 miles round trip to work and back. I don't think I will ever use over 160 miles in one sitting.....
....but, its very appealing to have a car that goes a bit faster and one I can drive to Austin and back without a worry. The extended warranty is appealing. The supercharger is appealing, though I don't think I will utilize it as I don't drive more then 60 miles one way. I heard the argument that I should get the 230 and supercharger to make my car "future proof", but I feel like I won't need it in the future. Also, I would like to tell people my car gets 230 and not 160 strictly for the wow factor, I think a lot of people around me have the stigma towards EV's that they don't do beyond 100 miles... maybe this one is just me.
Anyone else having these issues?
P.S. The main reason this is an issue for me, is that not that I can't afford to get the 300 or 230, its more of me not wanting to wait to save up. I guess I will just have to put on my big boy pants and wait if I REALLY want the 60kWh, but I do want to hear other peoples rational as I can't talk to anyone else about this who understand. lol
