Worth to upgrade to model S?

I currently own a 2020 M3SP, I have had the car for about 4 years and love it, at the time model S were very expensive and now have came down to about 30k which is what I paid for my 3 lol. Is the upgrade worth it? I would be looking at a 2020-2021 model S. FSD does not matter to me at all just overall range and comfort. Has anyone went from a 3 to an S and felt it was definitely worth it? Thanks !

I plan to when possible I’m 3 hours away from a Tesla dealership and unfortunately none being sold in my area just about 3 hours away. I was just wanting other’s opinion on the car that may have owned it a while.

The s is a fun car but I feel the s performance is more fun to drive to be honest . The s is definitely the cheapest super car but I feel in that class you should get more bang for your buck. It’s not as luxurious as its competition. I was debating and decided to get a model 3 performance 2025 and man it’s fun. It’s lighter and more nibble. Not as fast as the plaid but good enough. Also you get all the nice improvements. Maybe trade up for the newer model 3 performance

I would recommend a 2021+ with the refreshed interior and a familiar horizontal screen. If you're coming from a 3 the older S might feel like a step back despite having more space for comfort. Overall I went from a 3P to S Plaid and it's felt like a tremendous upgrade in comfort.

I 100% agree after looking at them, thank you
