For me, Tesla's pricing was still too unpalatable. When I had my 2014 Jetta Sportswagen TDI, I had some equity for an upgrade. But instead, I used the cash payout for my used 2013 Leaf. I wanted a Tesla but there wasn't one available at the time. Fast forward to 2020 and my Leaf wasn't worth...
I have a 2013 I just bought in January. The car is a bit of a floater, yes.
But bumps themselves are muted and absorbed quite well. For the price I paid, I can't complain much.
I just purchased my 2013 Leaf and I don't have a problem with this voluntary upgrade. I have my appointment scheduled for Saturday and I can't wait to heat up my car remotely!
It's a modest co-payment for free ongoing access to cellular network and a small fraction of the total cost of the update.
