General EV Conversation

I owned an LS400, LS430, and LS460L before buying my MYP in December 2022. I don't personally see myself going back to a non-EV sedan, although I do understand what you are after. There is a massive difference in ride quality and overall how solid a car feels. I was out of town over the weekend and my rental car was a 2024 Audi A6. When I owned an LS, I thought an Audi A6 rode like garbage. Now I own a MYP and I like the way the A6 rides..! I think the new 3 would be a huge improvement in what you're seeking.
I'm kinda in the same boat honestly - I think the MYP has been the nice way to convince myself that I love EV ownership. Now I want to look at a model S and see what the ride quality is like. I'd also look at others like a BWM i5 or BMW i7. But one thing that was abundantly clear over the weekend is the Audi user interface is by far the worst interface I've ever used. I don't take for granted how well executed Tesla's interface is. I just wish the ride quality was better and the car was a bit more substantial.

Yes, I think I should test drive both the new 3 and the S to compare them (with the assumption being the new Y will be very similar to the 3's improvements). I don't know that I'd want to buy a brand new S, so my concern would just be the warranty associated with the air suspension on a used one. I intentionally bought our QX 80 without air suspension after the suspension on our LX failed and was going to be almost $9k to replace. So I don't have any interest in having a car outside of warranty with air suspension..

If the new revamped Model Y is anywhere as good as the new Model 3, the Y Performance will probably be my next car next year. Model Y test vehicles have already been spotted several times.
You should 100 percent test drive the new Model 3 Performance...it totally blew me away..way more than my friends M4 Comp did

As of last week, I officially have a $0 loan balance on my MYP, so may as well start kicking tires..!

I like that Quicksilver color. I'm glad you were impressed with it. I'm going to see if I can drive an S and a 3 this weekend. I have 2 Tesla locations within 10 miles of me - and 1 of them has a CyberTruck that you can test drive. I may go drive that just so my son can have a grin on his face all weekend.
