This is a good thread, but night and day compared to the Model 3 forum. In those threads they say the M3 is better to drive and a better car. It seems you like what you like and defend what you bought...the rule is test drive it.
Took me a year to conclude I didn’t like the Model 3 ride. I was concerned before I bought the Model 3 and did many test drives in a friends. I knew the Model 3 was worse (noise and firmness over bumps) than what I was used to when I bought it. It’s hard to measure how much worse it was. I thought I could live with it (and I could have). But decided I enjoyed a quiet smooth ride more than the riding on rails handling.
New Model S/X has the best of both worlds with the new Raven adaptable suspension plus air ride
The Model 3 is not so much a rough, ride, but a sporty ride. It does not ride like an economy car with floppy suspension, but more like a European sports sedan. The 3 handles great, and this requires a kinda stiff ride.
The Model S is a different world, It is tuned to provide a lush Grand Touring ride. It handles well, but not have the hard edge like the smaller Model 3.
New Model S/X has the best of both worlds with the new Raven adaptable suspension plus air ride. Rides ultra smooth, but still handles the curves with precision. It is a larger car than the 3, so will not be as nimble, but the ride is superb.
The Model S 90D with air suspension and 19s:
- Will have a more comfortable ride quality on bad city streets compared to Model 3.
- Will be quieter at highway speeds compared to Model 3.
- Will have more back seat space and more storage space and fresh air from pano roof will be awesome compared to Model 3.
First two points are debatable, here on a Model S owners forum most people will tell you the S is better. Just ask the question on a Model 3 forum, you could be surprised... Best is trying both! Only problem is it's not so easy to test a 90D and new cars have an upgraded suspension.
But, on the last question, there is no debate. Storage space is huge on the S. Regarding back seats, I tried both. I'm 6 feet high, and my head is stuck against the roof when seated normally in the 3, absolutely not in the S. By the way, this last point makes the Model 3 a very poor choice for taxis... And may make the Y a winner.
Already confirmed not happening by Elon.

Fair point. Not happening in the immediate future would be a more accurate statement.Not a guarantee it will or won’t happen. The Model 3 could sure use it. My guess is when Model 3 sales start to plateaue Tesla has lots of things waiting in the wings to boost sales.

Can't afford Raven, so I'll try to buy a used Model S with air suspension on 19-inch wheels from Tesla with 4-year warranty, and then install the most comfortable tires I can.
Looks like my only option for $50K or less fast EV with quiet comfortable interior with 3-year+ warranty is 2016 Model S with air suspension, and I will just need to accept the slow MCU1 screen, poor rear visibility, and smaller view out the front windshield compared to Model 3
