2024 Y to 2019 S

For context I have had a 2018 3 LR, 2021 Y LR AWD and now currently a 2024 Y LR AWD. For context; 2024 Y is my personal car for chores and weekends. I also have a 2001 Porsche Boxster S that gets 1000-1500 miles a year and my work truck is a 2024 F150 Lightning Flash for daily driving. My Y has 37K. Acceleration boost, two sets of wheels. No FSD and no ambition to subscribe, although the trials are fun. In Vermont, and how I drive it just is more suited to use OG Autopilot with lane centering fits my use case very well or actually driving. I have an opportunity to get a 2018 MS 100D. Which I think is a unicorn spec. Free super charging, enhanced auto pilot, sun roof. 134k on the clock, one owner private sale. I have known the car since new. One front bumper accident and probably some windshields. I believe it has the 3.0 computer upgrade. I get there are trade off's with age and technology. But also it's a more comfy car with more real world range even with a 6 year old battery than the 24 Y. I th S has enhanced Auto Pilot. I believe the battery warranty is still in effect. I can keep them all and be financially fine(thought it would be silly to have 4 cars) I likely would get rid of the Y for this reason only. I am not exactly sure on price yet but mid/low teens is likely the number. For anyone with a 2019, how's the super charging speed? In the northeast, at least where I drive we've got two 150KwH super charger sites I frequent due to not being upgraded yet. What are charging speeds on average that get pulled on your now 6 year old S's. When road tripping the charge curve on the Y drops from 250 rather quickly. So even a more solid average of 120-150 for the larger battery isn't bad even if it never tops 200KwH. I know about door handles. What else?

2018 cannot have free transferable supercharging, and will charge very slow compared to the model Ys. It also will be missing a ton of features compared to the model Y and will be more expensive to maintain by a long shot. There is almost no chance that you’re actually gonna get better range than the model Y.

You will not be getting official free supercharging with a 2018 (commonly referred to as SC01) the best will be "transferring the app" and hoping to not get caught (which I don't see how they could catch you, I would just say in case of you trying to resell in the future). I have a 2017 90D. Charging for me doesn't go above 130kw and even then that is very brief and will quickly taper down to 100kw and will go down to 60kw with any sort of charge in the battery. It's just old technology. My car shows 400km max range now (500 rated but 400km estimated). The parts for this car are super expensive (rear lights are like 250+ second hand!), headlights, door handles, air suspension, compressors. All this stuff can go out. and is really not cheap. Personally I bought mine a few years ago and whilst I have had "good value", the depreciation has been staggering, repairs heavy and the technology old. It wouldn't take many repairs for you to become very sour towards it!
