Man, I'd love to get a Model S. If only they weren't so expensive... Anyone have opinions on the ideal model year and trim to target for max bang-for-buck? From a cursory look, I'm thinking something like an 85D (not P85D). Probably either 2014, for first gen autopilot, or a 2013 without. (I've heard a lot of stories about quality control issues with early cars, which hopefully were ironed out somewhat by 2013.)

should be no need for a "D"ual motor car, which likely didn't exist in 2013 anyway.

  Looks like you're right; first year of the 85D was 2015. And yeah, not necessary, but nice in northern climates.

    Ah yeah, sorry, I was thinking about it from a performance standpoint. Which is odd, since I have an AWD car specifically for snow (and I live in CA!)
