Yeah, but the carbureted 2-seater and the internet-connected 7-seater are both mid-engined.
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) It's a 2013 Model S, I bought through the CPO program. Pretty clean for a 40,000 mile car (except paint chips on the hood), and amazing that they're still delivering upgrades to older models via software. (Yes, I said 7-seater. I got the optional rear-facing seats, fit only for kids... of which I have two.) |

Sweet, I was going to ask about that, but most of the buyers don't even know about that option. I love it, reminds me of our family truckster when growing up with the rear facing seats. Imagine how fast that mofo feels looking out the back window and traffic getting smaller and smaller behind you! |

Imagine how fast that mofo feels looking out the back window and traffic getting smaller and smaller behind you! It was on my list of "nice to have" options. Almost immediately when I started looking, I found this car with exactly the options I wanted. Rear-facing seats, tech package, and panorama roof (which improves headroom, especially for the back seat). It's basically the lowest-level model -- 60kwh battery is good for about 200 miles, and RWD only. But on the upside, it has the biggest "frunk" of any Model S and still scoots 0-60 in 5.5 seconds. My wife's minivan is likely to remain our vehicle for long road trips. EDIT: Also, this one predates the Autopilot hardware. So I have to actively drive it the whole time. Which doesn't suck. |
