I have a Model S built in June 2018 and am considering trading it in for the latest Model S. I honestly haven't been following Tesla news much lately so I'm hoping the experts here are able to help me understand the differences/improvements made between the two. I currently have a 75D with FSD HW3 and am considering the Long Range (not Plaid).
The ones I know off the top of my head:
For 19" tires, are the kWh/m a bit better? Currently getting average of 350 kWh/m right now and am hoping the latest S is more efficient.
When doing a self referral, are you getting both the buyer reward and the seller reward? It seemed like there is a "loyalty" reward for purchasing another product which seems like the same as the buyer rewards (aka doesn't get the 20,000 referral credits one would get as a referrer award). Credits expire within 12 months?
I assume the supercharging benefit for referrals ended as of the previous quarter, right? I thought I saw some headline about getting 3 years, then being able to extend to 6 but that may already be over.
Thanks in advance for helping me understand!
The ones I know off the top of my head:
- Faster Supercharging (up to 250 kW versus 150 kW that rarely even gets to 120 kW in reality)
- HW4
- Redesigned interior (horizontal screen, rear seat screen)
- Interior camera
- Yoke option for steering wheel
- Exterior speaker?
- 1-pedal driving
- Wireless phone charging
- Better cameras (related to HW4?)
- Ability to view live feed via app
- Phone/card entry (like the 3/Y)
- Upgraded matrix headlights
- Removal of ultrasonic sensors (uses cameras now close distance estimates?)
- HD radar? Unsure about this one but not sure if it is part of HW4
