I have been looking at the Model S, for years. I will be FIRE at the end of this year. I was thinking of buying a used / demo Model S. My logic was travelling in the car (essentially cost free) would be appealing. Driving across country on the supercharger network... Seeing US tourist sites... Visiting friends/families in other states... Etc.
Also, buying soon gets you free supercharging for life vs cost per charge.
The biggest turn-off would be having upwards of $75-100K tied into a depreciating asset. However, I also am thinking, "can't take it with me" (only live once).
The unknown would be my overseas travel schedule. Hate to buy a $100K car and ultimately spend majority of my retirement years overseas.
Any thoughts? Anyone else buy one?
