Since the AP downgrades, mine often jerks in the direction of the semi trucks. I don't trust my AP at all when passing trucks on the interstate.

No. I never plan to own a Tesla that is out of warranty. The future tech repair is just way out of line.

I am also on a lease with two years left. I know I will definitely NOT buy my car at the end of the lease. Beyond that, all options are open. I still really like my 70, but I parked it after returning home from a long road trip over the holidays and have not touched in almost two months - I...

I think of it this way. What is the market for a 2013 Model S in 2016? I wouldn't want one. Tesla's are all about technology - who knows what will be available 3 years from now. I lease technology, I don't buy it.

I am going to take a contrarian view here. I love my Model S and have had no problems with it at all. That said, the car is all about technology and I wouldn't consider owning one outside of the factory warranty. Were I in your shoes, I would look at leasing a new one or buying an S60 if you...

SC's are for road trips away from home and are being clogged in some areas by daily chargers. When I take a road trip, it is often 2-3k miles so the roughly 1k of charging credit does little for me. In my opinion, Tesla should have restricted supercharging within say 100-150 miles from home...

Well - finally updated and took a 200 mi trip. Aesthetically pleasing to me but functionality took a couple of steps back. Running AP I had 3 occasions where AP swerved another direction. I am confident that had I not been holding the wheel there was great potential for an accident. Several...

Haven't installed yet as I have been out of town. Pretty disappointed that 8.0 does not include nav improvements.

Well, my MS is only 4 months old with 5,000 troublefree miles. That said, these cars are all about technology in my opinion (which is why I lease). I have zero interest in owning one outside of the warranty or even owning a model more than a couple of years old.

Lots of good locations. The worst standout for me has been Macon, GA. Wouldn't even consider stopping there late night as I believe it's a dangerous location.

Living in FL, we have the 70. No need for the dual motor. Answering your question, yes, I would downgrade to the 60 and save the $$. A 60@100% vs my 70@90% are the same. If I had not bought our 70 a few months back, I would order the 60.

The car wash I run it through has a blower... ;)

I run the Tesla navigation with wayz voice prompts on my phone. When there is a divergence, I go with waze.

It's not the money factor that will get you, it's the reduced residuals. When I leased mine there was a lease promotion and the residual is ste at a ridiculous 66%. Good for the lease payment and all but guarantees I won't purchase at the end.

Still makes absolutly no sense at all....yet, here I am.
