I've been behind a few teslas on Deerfoot, and they look like they are porpoising on the choppy sections, similar to a car like a civic or 240 on coilovers. Is the ride and suspension that stiff?

Too loud for Aspen
Wouldn't call it stiff by any means. I wonder if it is because of the heavy battery. The car is something like 4000lbs. Best is to test drive one. The sales people aren't really sales people so they let you go once you are done. No pressure at all and they book appointments in one hour time slots.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Finally got upgraded to V10 last night. I was hoping it would be the latest version with more power and 1 pedal driving. Ended up with 2019.32.12.4. YouTube works.

101,000$ Model S, for 36 months you pay 65,500$ (plus sales tax still) for 16,000km/year

As compelling as Model 3 Performance is, I decided to do 1 more round on ICE and re-evaluate in ~3 years hoping the scene is more competitive and more options by then.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The idea of an EV is growing on me but it’s not the Teslas that are doing it. I’d be more inclined if I liked their exterior design more. I spend about $5000/year on fuel for my personal daily driver, $1000-1500 on the summer car, and $10000ish on company vehicles.
@benyl had his math make sense to get shitty ROI on his last vehicle by selling his 1 year old expedition and move to a Model 3. His fuel costs was similar to yours. I did the math on my side, and didn't even realize my fuel costs are so cheap. I'm averaging 10L/100km and $130-150/month in fuel costs. Not worth swapping so soon, but probably next look is in 2 or so years, before warranty runs out on the E53.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Yeah, longer term maintenance should be cheaper as well:
- cabin filters
- tire rotation/alignment
- brake fluid
- air conditioning service
... and that's it, I think.
Porsche in SF wanted $390 USD to change the oil on the Macan
Wait, why would tire rotation or alignment costs be different?

Not saying it’s cheaper, just saying that the list above is the entire maintenance schedule.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Seems Tesla is a new "common vernacular" term for someone having a lot of money to spend. Had a discussion with someone about large bonuses, and they said "if things go the way I'm hoping we'll all be shopping at Tesla next year." Thought that was funny, and the first time I'd heard the brand used in that context. Hope "we all" get huge bonuses and I can see how correct he is about where I'd spend it. Be a good problem to have.

I haven't seen my S in 6 months, it's probably covered in dust in the garage and will probably need an entire day of updates.
How does everyone handle updates if you're in a parking garage (condo)? It will push OTA updates if they're important, but I usually end up getting updates after parking at the in-laws house connected to their wifi. I haven't yet figured out a way to get updates pushed sooner OTA. Anyone have suggestions?

I have read that people tether their phone to their car. No idea on the size of the updates though.
