Jeremy, I've owned a LR RWD
Jeremy, I've owned a LR RWD Model 3 since April 2019. I purchased FSD for $6K and as an excuse to watch my TSLA investment. I wanted the longest range car available at the time. I opted not to get a dual motor and have not yet regretted that decision.
The Tesla is our weekend/trip car. We've taken the Tesla on several mutli-thousand mile trips and find it to be a fantastic road trip car. My Tesla at 23k miles still shows around 310 miles of range. I treat the battery very conservatively and seldom charge to more than 70% and go less than 30%. I was even able to keep to that SOC range on a recent trip from Ohio to South Dakota and out to Devil's Tower in Wyoming thanks to the Supercharging Network. That meant we stopped on average every 70 miles and charged for 14 minutes. I find this an ideal way to travel. It's great for my back to stop often and keeps me fresher. 14 hour days on long drive days are actually pretty easy compared to a gas car, thanks to the stops and Auto Pilot.
A Nissan Leaf I picked up used dirt cheap is my daily driver for errands around town.
Factoring all of this in, I'm seriously considering "downgrading" to a Standard Range Model 3. While I might "lose" range, in reality I would ever seldom charge my LR RWD to 100% SOC. At 90% SOC my car today would get me 279 miles of range. A SR Model 3 at 100%, where going that high is not a problem, is 272 miles. Plus the LFP batteries look like they will last a LONG time with much less degradation.
I will than add in the newer, softer suspension, better sound proofing and a heated steering wheel. My hope is the newest Teslas have a higher build quality than my 2019 car, but that's always a crap shoot. My 3, despite not being "perfect" with its panel gaps, has been pretty much rattle free and solid.
If the new tax credits work in my favor and I can get a good price for my car, I would be sorely tempted to make the switch.
