Hello!
My family is slowly growing and so the Model X will be the car to switch to after a year or so but in the meantime, I couldn't wait to be part of the Tesla family. I will be keeping the model S until I get the X which is at least one year out. As a result, I am thinking of purchasing a Model S that has the colors and options that would likely provide me with the best chance for a higher resell value. With this in mind, I added some options I feel is necessary but did not add options that I feel I would not be able to easily recover when I decide to sell it. I would like to ask all of you on what you think would be the way to go.
I am currently thinking of these three configurations for the S 85.
1.) Black Color, Black leather, Piano Black - MSRP $86,820
2.) Black Color, Tan Leather, Obeche Wood Gloss ($650 extra), MSRP $87,470
3.) Blue Color ($750 extra), Tan Leather, Obeche Wood Gloss ($650 extra), $88,220
Options for the above
Tech package
Parking sensor
Leather
Options considering
Pano Glass Roof ($2500 extra)
I don't expect to benefit personally for that one year with the pano glass roof since I don't find myself using it.
However, it seems that many tesla buyers will be looking for this option and I would consider getting it, if it's a deal breaker for selling it. However, I'm still leaning against this because even though I may have an easier time selling the car with the pano roof, I don't think I can get close to the $2500 upgrade back, when selling the car. Would you agree more or less with this thought process?
From a resale standpoint, which do you think out of the three color configurations is the best one to go with?
Thanks for your input!
