Model S pretty much has that same glass roof.
Not our S. It has a sunroof

Model S pretty much has that same glass roof.
This is my response from a previous posting here a while back. Same subject. A 2017 MS is running MCU1, so that applies.
My two cents. From my signature you’ll see my conclusions. Here’s why.
Model S advantages
1. Premium car. It’s Tesla’s flagship. Feels and looks fantastic. Beautiful and appreciated by all car lovers. It’s special and will always be. Becoming an iconic legend. It speaks to everyone. Nothing like it.
2. Dual displays. The single display is a bit ahead of its time as it will be better suited for Level 3 and 4 autonomous driving. Put another way, current driving experience is definitely more suited for dual displays. The S and X definitely enjoy that and is preferred by myself hands down. I really love it.
Model S disadvantages
1. All top end luxury cars suffer from cost to value exponential curve.
2. MCU1 is lacking. Maybe a retrofit option will arrive, but will probably be at a premium price. I think too much risk for the return of value. YMMV
3. Long car. Going to be more difficult to park in the garage and in public parking areas. Also won’t have a tight turning radius. Noticeable in U-turn situations.
4. Low to the ground. After ripping off my front bumper when pulling away from my parking sport, I soon realized how low my Model S truly was from the ground. Also tends to scrape the ground getting in and out of driveways. Can be managed with adjustable suspension, but not practical for every situation.
5. Low to the ground #2. I’m over 50 now and for me getting in and out several times everyday isn’t a big problem, but it definitely wasn’t enjoyable. This may not be an issue for your wife depending on her age, height and weight. My small, 4 foot 11 inch wife had no problems. . Again, YMMV
6. Pretty much software feature locked. Some small things will still happened, but sentry mode and similar features will never happen.
7. Slower charging
Model Y advantages
1. By almost all accounts, it’s more bang for the buck, at least physically for your dollar. 2. Better tech, batteries, AP, your going to enjoy the features for years to come and further improvements and enhancements with software updates that are yet to exist.
3. Will have a higher resale value, even from Model 3. The market currently dictates that a compact SUV is more desired than a sedan. Not close in this department.
4. Easier to park
5. Easier U-turns
6. Higher off the ground to avoid problems with parking curbs
7. Easier to get in and out of
8. More practical vehicle for small families
9. Fast charging rates, less wait at a super charger
10. Sentry mode, games, streaming videos (MCU1)
Hope these words inspire and enlighten your mind in a some small way.

I currently have a 2012 Model S P85 with production VIN under 2000 and 69000 miles. I have a preorder in since launch for performance Y, but now having second thoughts about giving up my S for the Y, especially given the really low trade in value I was quoted by Tesla.Hi everyone!
Hoping you don’t mind if I ask for some opinions here. I leased a 2017 model S 75D three years ago now and my lease will be up soon, and my original plan was to buy it out at the end. We’re now a family of three, about to be four in June, and I’m worried a bit about space. There are a lot of great features in both cars so I’m hoping to skim your brains for opinions and logic. (I know preferences are always different for different people but I like to research any how).
I paid for the autopilot upgrade and FSD when they were offering the free hardware upgrades for users to HW3, and I’ve confirmed with my local parts center my car does indeed qualify for the upgrade when it’s available.
I also currently have unlimited supercharging.
the Y is beautiful and has a lot of great new features and tech my current car doesn’t, but mine has a lot of luxury features I guess the Y may not?
Ive since preordered a Y thanks to the news of the earning call, I “preordered” the Performance performance edition but I’m still a little worried or on the fence and so I’d love any thoughts you’d be willing to share.
my current model S:
75D with 21” wheels and the unlock on the motors, premium interior with sound upgrades and Ap FSD.
thanks again everyone!
Such a classic. Do you have room to keep the S and get the Y?I currently have a 2012 Model S P85 with production VIN under 2000 and 69000 miles. I have a preorder in since launch for performance Y, but now having second thoughts about giving up my S for the Y, especially given the really low trade in value I was quoted by Tesla.
New S's have Free Unlimited Supercharging.2020 S Cons: no panoramic sunroof, no dual chargers, slower Supercharging than on the 3/Y, no lifetime free supercharging, no lifetime data. No trailer hitch.
