I initially reserved a Touring. But then I thought through my lessons from owning a Tesla and upgraded to a GT. The primary lesson for me was maximizing range. The Touring to GT upgrade scores you a lot of cool gadgets. But the part that will pay off is the extra range. I know a lot of folks on this board say “I don’t need 500 miles of range — 400 is enough for me.” News flash — you won’t ever see that range top line. News flash 2 — batteries degrade over time (I’ve owned the same Tesla for four years, so trust me when I say battery degradation is real). If you are going to own this car for more than a hot minute, then max out the range. And when you pick up the car, switch to percentage — tracking miles will do nothing for your sanity. [When I owned ICE cars, I relied on fractions to keep track of my range (e.g., 1/2 tank, 1/4 tank). Why would I suddenly be obsessing over exact miles with an EV?]
The “extra” range will be worth every dime. In the meantime, good luck with your choice!
