I find that the model S doesn't have enough 'premium' to be justified over a model 3.
That is unless you're looking at the model S plaid, but I can't envision huge demand for a car starting at 129k.
- rkalla 5y agoThis - before the update to Model S that included the rear screen, it was getting REALLY hard to figure out why you would want to pay 2x for an electric car unless you wanted the... ventilated seats? marginal range improvement? If 500+ mile range becomes an S/X exclusive for a few years, feels like they need to do more to differentiate.
- rcMgD2BwE72F 5y agoEverything that is premium in the Plaid is included in the new Model S. The whole line has been refreshed (and the X will too, soon).
- tails4e 5y agoThe base S is 85k (depending on the week, it changes so much). It has the same performance as the model 3 performance (top end 3) and more range. I think the s is a much nicer car, though 25k is a lot more. The S was as low as 70k at one stage, if it was 75k I'd say the extras are worth it over the 3.
