100% correct. Had a loaner m3P very nice car, but in no way did it compare to model S overall.Man, seems like you've never driven a Model S right after test driving a Model 3.
Driver screen, the wider body, the interior space and rear trunk space, as well as premium ownership and driving experience alone make the Model S worth way more than Model 3. I don't see how anyone would cross-shop the Model 3 along with the Model S, unless it was for budget reasons. The Model S is just on a completely different level compared to Model 3.
Clearly you haven't seen a Model S to ask this question.Is the refresh Model S “Palladium” worth it over a “Highland” Model 3? All I can think of is the Model S has air suspension but if you can think of any other differences please let me know!
Agree. I've driven all of them (not highland Model 3 of course) and love the Model S. Fix the steering wheel and a few minor things and it's an amazing car.Man, seems like you've never driven a Model S right after test driving a Model 3.

Let me get this straight: you make a million plus (up to 9 Million) annually and your Tesla car is the cheapest Model Y??! What are your ICE cars?In my particular case, affordability a non-issue as I have a 7 figure income but the value proposition of the Model S simply wasn't there for me anymore.
You don't get rich by spending money indiscriminately.Let me get this straight: you make a million plus (up to 9 Million) annually and your Tesla car is the cheapest Model Y??! What are your ICE cars?
I agree with you. In other words, I get it. But honestly, not the American way for most of the people. Bottom line: kudos to YOUYou don't get rich by spending money indiscriminately.
And some times you don't want to appear "rich"
The next version of the Model S will have to try harder to make the price difference worth it. More than just size of car.I’ve owned both.
The S is a touring sport sedan, with the ride comfort, premium feel and cargo space of a SUV.
The 3 is a nimble genius level handling/cornering zip car. Fun as hell to drive as a daily.
Personal preference tbh.
Not driven highland but I can assume it’s getting closer to S now that it’s stalkless, perforated seats, dual pane glass all over, stronger sound system. Starting to inch ever so closer to S.
I do love the form factor of the S but also felt the Y has gotten so good and the price such that it's tougher to justify. They will have to work on that for next version of Model S to justify the price.I drove the new 2023 Model S for an hour and I was simply disappointed on two fronts
i. Delta difference between my 2016 Model S (I've owned since new) and the 2023 Model S was small, imo. For example, the steering wheel felt cheap compared to my 2016. The big advantage of the 2023 is huge range and acceleration, both of which I don't need. I drive more than 99% of people, but even with my 70d down to 330km @ 100% it is completely fine for me as I charge at home at night.
ii. Delta difference between 2023 Model Y RWD and 2023 Model S. Yes, the Model S is better but the Model Y was $45k ($4k inventory discount, plus $8k rebates) is like 90% of the car of the Model S, but for less than 1/2 the price (Model S is 100k in Canada).
In my particular case, affordability a non-issue as I have a 7 figure income but the value proposition of the Model S simply wasn't there for me anymore. When I bought my Model S in early 2016 there were no other options, now you have some great cars including the Model 3/Y. Even these cars are essentially loaded with heated steering wheels, seats, power tailgates/trunks, etc., and it comes down to it "feels nicer," well year it is double the price. To me it doesn't feel twice as nice.
The less marketable stuff makes the S a much better car. Y feels cheap through and through. Awful suspension, rear seats are like sitting on a park bench, oddly narrow inside, tons of road noise, etc.I do love the form factor of the S but also felt the Y has gotten so good and the price such that it's tougher to justify. They will have to work on that for next version of Model S to justify the price.
