Last month, after three years in a white MYP, I sold it and bought a babied, rattle-free 2019 Model S P100D with 26,700 miles. Yesterday on the Blue Ridge Parkway:
I could list my boring "reasons" for this decision, but most reasons boil down to emotions (as David Hume pointed out), in this case passion for a sleek, ultra-high-performance EV. The practical, trouble-free MYP inspired zero passion, and any excitement at all cooled further as white Model Y's overran my city.
Changes to date are minor — chrome delete, front license delete, 30% tint, integrated phone charger, etc. — but I can't help lusting after other upgrades. After all, passion and mods are two sides of the same, um, addiction. My only known used-car problem is half-dead DRLs, so two new headlights, the "F" version, await installation. I'm also thinking about spacers, Ntuitive lowering links and control arms, and up-sized 255 & 275/35ZR-21 Michelins for the gorgeous stock wheels. The seller had installed four new z-rated "Sailuns" (Anyone heard of them?) since the previous tires were trashed on the inside edges.
I'm happy to join the MS community, where I'm eager to learn more about this incredible car. Comments and suggestions are welcome!
Cheers,
Craig
