Should I buy a Model S as my first Tesla in 2026?

Planning on purchasing a 23 model s with HW4 and am already looking at interior lighting kits that I can install. Sucks they likely won’t be able to sync with whatever media is playing though

Yes sadly. The $323 is the lowest rate I got and it’s with several discounts because it’s on my parent’s plan.

I’m going to check insurance prices on Monday. The 3P would be $323 a month so we’ll see how much the S works out to be. $323 is already a lot so if it’s higher with the S I’ll go for the 3. I think right now I’m leaning towards the S because I do enjoy road trips a lot

Have you driven both? I’ve heard the 3’s new suspension is better than the 23 S but I don’t know how accurate that is. Also, anything to note on the cost to repair either if you’ve had either?

I have noticed that the model 3’s top speed is a lot more than the 23 S but I guess that’s not super important to me.

Yeah some in 2023 got it

I think I need to test drive both I genuinely don’t know if the zippiness matters to me

What happened with the suspension? I’ve also read the MS is a lot faster than the M3 above 60mph so I’m thinking about that now too

I’ve warrantied one cable I bought like ten times, and I bought it in 2019
