Hi all, I have been doing a good amount of research and should be pulling the trigger within a month.
I am somewhat torn between 2 main Model S options; a 2016 P100D or a demo/new 2020 Long Range Plus. I am not interested in a Model 3 or Y mainly because of looks and single screen.
Budget: <75k
Daily use/range: <10 miles
Occasional use: 40 mile (each way) and 96 mile (each way) trips, a few times a month.
I know about the main differences between the 2 cars I highlighted. I made a little chart of positives each car has over the other, if I missed anything major please let me know.
I know that ultimately we all make our choices and no one is able to choose for you, but I just wanted some real life feedback from those who either went through this recently or currently has one of the 2 cars I'm considering.
P100D:
- Performance
- Sunroof
- FSD (probably wont get FSD in LR+ within my budget)
- Already took a big depreciation hit
Long Range Plus:
- Range
- MCU2 (attainable in P100D with retrofit)
- Sentry/dash cam (attainable in P100D with retrofit)
- AP HW3 (attainable in P100D with retrofit)
- Raven Suspension
- New car
- New battery
- New design front motor
- Fast charging
If you were in my position right now, which way would you go? Am I overlooking anything major?
P.S. I read all the batterygate, chargegate, horror story threads. I haven't seen anything big on the 100 battery cars, but I can see the P100D being susceptible at some point (sooner than the LR+)
Thanks in advance.
