2023 vs 2024 Pro S software improvements and driveline refinements

Hi, we’re ready to trade one of our ICE vehicles for a practical, used EV.

I’ll be test driving a 2023 Pro S early next week, but I keep reading about the important software / efficiency improvements of the 2024+ infotainment, better motor efficiency, and preheating battery functionality. I’m hoping to keep the purchase price as low as possible.

Will any of this really be a factor when:

- I will be level 2 charging in my garage 100% of the time, apart from the rare 300-400 mile road trip for a work event (my wife’s Toyota Highlander will be our main road tripper)

- I live in a mild climate with snow 1-2 times a year and freezing high temps 30ish days a year

- My daily commute (kids to school and errands…I work from home) averages 30 miles a day and will rarely exceed 90 miles a day.

- I use Apple CarPlay 100% of the time in my current vehicle

* Secondary question: Have the software updates for pre-2024 models helped reliability and functionality?

Thanks for your feedback.

Open-Box/Refurbished Libra 2 or wait for a new BW 7" release?

I'm dead set on getting a Kobo BW reader (I tried the Kobo Libra Color and did not like it) but would like a 7" plus black and white screen.

I have leads on a refurb/open-box 2021 Libra 2 BW in the $250 range (flip case included) and it appears this device is still getting software updates according to https://pgaskin.net/KoboStuff/kobofirmware.html

Thoughts on going for a Libra 2 vs waiting for a new BW 7" to be released? I have not seen any evidence this is in the cards for 2026. Thanks
