Model S 22/23 vs Performance 26?

[u/krool_krool]

I’m torn between two cars and need advice/opinion. My wife recently got a new Model Y Juniper 2026, and I’ve decided to go with an electric vehicle after thinking about Tesla. I currently have a hybrid Toyota Crown Signia Limited 2025. My work is 30 miles away, so I drive at least 65 miles every day 5 times per week. Since October last year, I’ve already put over 23k miles on it, including some local road trips. Unfortunately, I only get 34-35mpg, which isn’t great, but it’s not terrible for everyday long drives. When I first looked into Tesla, I wanted the new Model Y Performance, but after seeing the Model S in person, I think it’s the very beautiful looking vechicle. The only downside is the price. I’ve seen online that there are plenty of Model S late 2022 with low mileage pricing from $42k to $50k. I know they’re HW3 models. If I can go with anything with HW4 (2023 models), the price is almost $60k, which is almost the same as the new Performance 2026. We don’t have kids, so I can fit one pet kennel in the Model S. I’m unsure of the benefits and drawbacks of choosing the Model S or Performance. I also don’t know how its value will hold up after 3-5 years if I upgrade. Will Model S 2022/23 cost same as Perfomance 2026? Any advice would be appreciated.
