That's great news Nick. When do you think you'll take delivery of the model y?
I mean, Tesla has now twice reached out to try and get me to complete things on my end to take delivery and I'm just stalling at this point till I've got some home projects done and am on a more solid footing financially for it. Every month that goes by I get a little more equity in my 3, although not a lot since I took at at 72 months financing. Really my end goal is to have the same monthly payment I do now but at 60 months for the Y as opposed to 72 months as with the 3.
That said I've actually for the first time been toying with the idea of not getting full self driving on the Y. If I do that I can basically get the performance at the same price or my current config for 8k less, which really bumps up the timeline. Having FSD on the 3 having all the bells and whistles is nice, but the only thing I'll miss regularly is automatic lane changes. I don't really use navigate on autopilot, I don't use autopark all that often, and even as the city systems are getting better, I realize that with both that and highway it's not truly too valuable until I can officially say fuck it, let the car drive, and do whatever I like while it does.
I have no doubt that the FSD will be a beast in 2-3 years, but I don't foresee it being able to just let me let it drive due to all the regulatory hurdles. So with that said I think I'll save the money.
If I do go with Long Range w/o FSD at 52k I think I can realistically make it happen around October.
If I end up switching to performance (love the speed and the look of those tires), likely spring. I just hate the loss of range that comes with the 21" tires on the performance.
Sorry, long answer to an easy question, but I'm constantly kicking these options around in my head.
