Roughly the situation I’m in. I inherited an older model S when my dad passed away last year, and it’s old enough that it has free charging for life. So free car plus free charging (and less than 30k miles on it) equals “hard to pass up.” That said, their customer service has been consistently very terrible (have had it in twice plus a home visit to fix the charge port door not opening - ridiculous especially for such an essential piece of the vehicle), lots of very annoying little issues due to bad software and hardware engineering, and other expensive issues that cropped up due to poor product design and engineering (touchscreen got bubbles in it and had to be replaced - apparently they selected some laptop-type screen to use which can’t tolerate the heat that’s typically reached in a car sitting outside). Would never buy one and have even with the free charging, am still considering selling it to get away from the brand (let alone all of the whacko issues with the CEO).
