I just can't bring myself to replace my aging 2003 Subaru when I know cars are going to improve so much in the next 5 years. Between electric drivetrain technology and self-driving, it seems like things are going to improve rapidly in the next 5-10 years.

If you get a Model 3 with the option, you're prepared for autonomous driving. Stretching out an 03 another 10 years will be a trying affair. It'll be a 24 year old car. Just buy one when you feel it needs to be replaced, which I'd assume should be soon. Be glad that there is an option out there that covers you, at least on the autonomous driving front. Tesla will enable it as soon as the legal situation it is sorted out. We're past the days of worrying about getting the battery chemistry good-enough too. I'd say you actually stretched that car out just the right amount of time to reap the benefits, perfect timing. I'm holding onto my '07 till I get my own Model 3, so I'm in a similar boat.
