We've had our S85 for about 2.5 years and have loved every minute of it. My wife is not a car person at all, but with the Tesla it's a different story. We live in New England and the while the rear wheel drive isn't bad in the snow, we shy away from taking it to the mountains and on occasion we find ourselves having to dig a path through the snow to get up our driveway. So, this weekend we decided to take a look at the 70D and take it for a spin. I had not driven any AWD version yet, nor had I experienced AP. AWD is a different experience....less of a push feel and more of a launch feel...if that makes sense. And, the AP and additional safety features were very cool and helped with selling the idea of trading to the wife.
While the AP and AWD was cool, what I coudn't get over is the difference in overall quality of build, "solidness" and how much quieter the car was than my VIN 19847. It's night and day. They've made some real improvement to the overall quality and feel of the interior and the overall feel of the car. Hard to explain, but it's pretty significant.
So now I am trying to decide.....do I go with a 70D and save some money (about the same performance and only about 10 miles less range at this point) or do I go for the 85/90D.
And here's a question.......why does tesla only show their RWD inventory cars on the website? They have plenty of AWD inventory cars out there.....
