We currently have a 2021 MY and that is our only car. Planning on getting another Tesla as we have a Tesla Wall Connector at home. I've been looking at both and checking threads and such, but wanted to know if anyone chose one over the other. I'm leaning towards a Model S as I've wanted one since the 2012 model came out, but I know hardware, charging, and mileage have changed a lot since. I telework mostly so mileage isn't really a problem, but I'm having my first kid in late Feb so I need something that is safe. I can push for a 2020 MS as well, but not sure if it's worth it for the extra money. Any advise or insight would be helpful!

Tough choice. I’d personally pick the 2020 model 3. It should have the second generation Intel CPU for the infotainment system, plus it should have HW3 for better autopilot behavior.

Plus, the 2018 Model S is now two generations old on the powertrain, so it’s likely that the mechanics only get minimal training on those older systems. And the battery uses older chemistry compared to the model 3.

That being said, you’d get a ton more space with the model s, and it’s likely going to be a good car.
