This is sad in that I was serious about finally getting one in two to three years (We have two Model 3 LRs already), but is fantastic in that no other car interests me and I now don't have this hyper materialistic goal distracting me.
If Tesla completely exits automotive and decides to license their FSD tech (or someone else catches up), then I'll probably just get whatever the equivalent of a Bolt is then with that and premium sound.
And they just might, too. Recall that the EV tax credit went away this year along with regulatory credits to other auto OEMs, which was a huge part of their business. This combined with the Cybertruck (unsurprisingly!) missing sales targets is problematic.

- rconti 9mo agoWait, an S? Why? I've got a 3 LR too and.... I just can't say anything about the extraordinarily long-in-the-tooth S excites me. Usually something is desirable when it's new, then the desirability fades as the product ages and other new, hot things come onto the market. Don't get me wrong, I don't generally lust after EVs, but I am looking forward to the R3X....
- nunez 9mo agoBigger battery, larger center console and the cabin is slightly more premium. Not $76k premium but moreso than the 3. I also really like the yoke. However, the 3 is lighter, has better headlight clusters, the light accent inside of the cabin (that I thought the S was getting, but I guess not), and a marginally better sound system.
- rconti 9mo agoGot it. Yeah, the headlights and sound system on my (2018) 3 are AMAZINGLY good, especially (now) for the age. I drove a 2017 S fairly regularly-- so it's a first year (?) of the refresh, but pretty dated now. The sound system is abysmal (I'm sure it's the low end option) and the car generally feels less cohesive. The yoke and button turn signals would be a deal breaker for me, but to each their own.
- baggachipz 9mo agoWe're all going to need to buy some R2's if we want the R3X to become a thing. I have my reservation!

- niek_pas 9mo agoThis is slightly off topic but what kind of living situation requires three cars? Polyamorous family?
- senordevnyc 9mo agoI have multiple friends who have 6+ cars. To be fair, they're pretty well-off (mid six figure income), but one for example: - Husband Tesla daily driver - Wife Bronco daily driver - Truck to pull their boat - Campervan for outdoor adventures - Older car for teenager to drive - 90s convertible for summer fun
- niek_pas 9mo agoI’m guessing this is in the US? Do you think there’s a number where they would go, “too many cars”?
- quesera 9mo agoAny of a dozen common situations, but probably the most common is having children who reach driving age.
